Finally made an overview, and if I looked correctly, this is what we have tickets for:   10 feb – Cross-country skiing (Bruna, classic sprint) My dad, my sister, me, Bruna's employees, Bruna's parents   12 feb – Cross-country skiing (Bruna, 10k freestyle) My dad, my sister, me, Bruna's employees, Bruna's parents   14 feb – Biathlon (Baiba, sprint women) My dad, my sister, me, Bruna's employees, Bruna's parents, Bruna   15 feb – Biathlon (Baiba? Pursuit women) Me, Bruna   18 feb – Cross-country skiing (Bruna, teamsprint vrije stijl) My dad, my sister, me, Bruna's employees, Bruna's parents   21 feb – Biathlon (Baiba? Mass start women) Me, Bruna   22 feb – Cross-country skiing (50k classic women) Me, Bruna   So if anyone is at any of those events, let me know     We have a large Brazilian flag, a large Dutch flag, a small Brazilian/Dutch flag stitched together, orange hats, Brazil hats, my parents in law and me have bright blue Brazil jackets, it should be clear  

I agree with absolutely Everything.   Just, NHLers were in Sochi 2014 as well, even if I do not really want to remember that neither though

I'll enjoy it while it lasts still  

Like @phelpssaid there's a huge chance MP gets axed from OG than re-inventing its soul. The obstacle part will never become 'the' soul of this sport (it's more suitable for X Games if anything). The laser part is odd enough already. The number of participant countries will shrink, nobody will build the eligible obstacle courses if there isn't mass interest. I'd be surprised if MP is still an Olympic sport beyond 2040.

Hey guys, I contribute Skeleton articles for a new winter-sports focused website called "All things Snow".   I was wondering if any of you could please spare a few moments to read my latest article on the World Cup finale in Altenberg a few weeks ago.   Any feedback on length, content, or just general tips will be greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to implement them in my Olympic Skeleton recap pieces. Thanks!   https://allthingssnow.net/2026/01/19/pfeifer-and-wyatt-win-the-finale-meylemans-and-weston-seal-crystal-globes/

This one is good too

changes that go absolutely against the Italians (notoriously the top swimmers and not the best shooters in MP) 😭😭😭   now it's really time to axe MP from the Games 😈🥳

I think there was a feeling before the obstacle course was introduced that really, really solid endurance runners were starting to dominate - in Triathlon you might call it the Alex Yee conundrum. Personally, I don't mind at all if the 'martial' elements are reemphasised as that is the real 'soul' of the sport - Triathlon, Marathon and Road cycing are there for genuine endurace, MP is in some senses a 'soldiery' test - one reason I thought Judo might have been a better addition than the obstacle course. But placing a higher emphasis on the fight bits over the flight bits seems a legitimate idea - though it should also increase the X-country nature of the run so that the test of a fresh shooter at the beginning is rather different from the test of a knackered one at the end. I quite like the artificial hill in rio.
