Right, because if one young athlete goes on to dominate after an impressive performance, every young athlete will go on to dominate after an impressive performance? :p 

 

Not everyone but Norway & Sweden have a clear edge when it comes to nursing a world class talent.

Johaug's make up is running out because of her tears. Quick, someone give her some lipstick.

Nah, way too early to say Karlsson will dominate :p I'd say it's a lot more likely she won't, the step from this to domination is still rather big.

 

yeah...and let's not forget that Ebba Andersson is only 2 years older and there's always a certain Helene Marie Fossesholm ready on the runway, 2 years younger than Karlsson and already only a bunch of seconds behind her at the Junior Worlds just a few weeks ago...

I think women's CC Skiing is gonna get a lot more interesting than now in quite a short while...:p

Don't get me wrong, obviously she has the talent to do it, I just think the step to actually dominate is so big it's more likely she won't do it (even though I'd be surprised not to see her fight for overall World Cup wins at some point).

 

Given her junior results, she's a versatile all-arounder, sprints, 10k & skiathlon, she can do it all. Norwegians ain't getting any younger, Johaug will be 33yo during the next WCh, Oestberg is okay but was never dominant and Weng is just falling off the cliff now. They have Skistad but they need to find another junior to cover for the veterans. Of course they can find one but Karlsson has a head start already.

Huge talent as well indeed, although also in her case it's a matter of waiting to see how she grows. For all we know, this is her physical peak :p (probably not, same for Karlsson, but it's always possible with young athletes)

      Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA?

      For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/

      It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.

      Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position

      Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt

      Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.

      The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle
