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)

      Men's Football UEFA European Champions League 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

      GSOC Kioti National (I usually determine if I’m watching right before), NHL/NBA/NFL (same teams as usual), club season volleyball, BPT Challenge Nuvali, UCI Track Cycling Nations League, and winter sports galore    Wednesday (November 27) 4:30 PM: NHL - Canucks v. Penguins 7:00 PM: NBA - Warriors v. Thunder   Thursday (November 28) 8:30 AM: Club Volleyball - Vakif v.

Suns (maybe not…) 9:00 PM: FIS Freestyle Skiing Big Air WC Beijing    Confused because CBC Sports says it starts a hour later than on the FIS site?

Wild 7:00 PM: NBA - Warriors v. Nuggets (split screen, but hoping it gets delayed due to another game going to OT or ending late)   Wednesday (December 4) 2:00 AM: BPT Finals Doha - Day 1

      Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything
