Cross-Country Skiing at the Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships 2019


Recommended Posts

in the end, the Italian girls, almost not existing through the entire season, today did better than the men...and not because they got some results beyond any expectation...:whistle::facepalm:

 

what a sadness to see our CC skiing team so boiled if compared with 10/20 years ago...:cry:

Got all the medallists right, but completely wrong order ...

I predicted 1) Bolshunov 2) Sundby 3) Roethe ...

I feel you ...

It makes me really sad that tax money is wasted on cross-country/speed skating, would be much better to completely shut down the financing for those sports.

by the way, the prize for the best comments of these Worlds so far goes to Devon Kershaw and his yesterday's analysis before the Cross-Country stint of the Nordic Combined...:whistle:

he didn't get any of his "favourites" even close to the result he predicted...:lol::facepalm:

 

That really does not even get close to him saying Johaug would do the 5km classic race 6-7 minutes faster than the winner of said qualifying race :p

well, he said that Riiber would have won yesterday's race with margin (despite being more than a minute behind the leading group after the jumping phase) and no Austrians could even make the top 10 (despite 2 of them were in that leading group with big margin after jumping -and an easy not-difference-maker track in CC ahead of them)...

 

plus a couple more of those...

 

basically, he was speaking of Nordic Combined without having any sort of clue of the scale of values of that sport (and the different characteristics of the athletes involved)...:facepalm:

 

it looked like the average Italian public Tv "sport expert"...:rofl::nopompom:

Excellent performance for Parisse, lacking a bit of extra gas but the 3 ahead were really strong 

Backscheider 8, he was not meant to be part of the skiathlon until Manificat got sick :yes

Great hopes for the relay once again :cheer:

Winning time of the 5km C: 15:57 minutes --> 18.8 km/h

 

Speed needed to be 7 minutes faster (8:57): 33.5 km/h

 

That is 0.6 km/h faster than the average speed of the winner in the men's sprint freestyle qualifying. Saying Johaug can keep that pace for 5km, in classic style, is arguably pretty much worse than saying some not so smart predictions about Nordic combined, which was not even his sport, unlike XC :p

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
