What's more likely, Norway to get remaining 4 gold medals in cross-country, or Germany to completely sweep NK/Ski jumping gold medals?

 

Definitely the first. I don't see Germany winning women's ski jumping event.

The first. Lundby & Riiber can still spoil the latter tbh.

Plus the male German ski jumpers haven't exactly been dominant this season either. Their domination in the first event was actually quite surprising

Weird question ...

In NK/SJ we still have 5 events and in each of them Germany has maybe 50 % to win gold, in CC we have 4 events left and in each of them Norway has about 80 % to win them.

I think a better question would be whether Norway is more likely to sweep the remaining CC events than Germany is to win 4 of the 5 remaining events in SJ/NK.

I think Germany should win NK team, SJ mixed team and SJ men's individual, but NK men's individual and women's SJ individual are open.

Just wanted to drop in and give a quick shoutout to my man Irineu Esteve Altimiras of Andorra who’s having a great World Championships for someone not from a powerhouse country.

If you like another Norwegian Nationals disguised as World Championships it's truly excellent indeed. Now we need two relays for Norway and let's face it, the 30/50 mass starts will probably be all Norway again :lol:  Not to mention this Seefeld course is rather flat and uninspiring at best.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the course, but I've seen a really close 15k classic where three guys at some point had a real shot at gold, I saw a really close 10k classic where a teenage girl nearly beat the unbeatable Johaug, there was an insanely close men's skiathlon and a really close women's team sprint. Haters can kiss my sweet balls, I'm enjoying it.

This is so embarrassing and frustrating. Like our cross country skiing isn't a joke enough. :zip: Tammjärv was the only one who could get some points, now we know why. Our skiers reputation here in Estonia has been very low already for years due to miserable results, this will be the final straw. RIP.

 

The worst part is who got caught: Andreas Veerpalu - son of Andrus Veerpalu and also Poltoranin, who is coached by Andrus Veerpalu. Andrus himself finished his career with a doping case, he was eventually announced to be clean but this process was kinda skechy and left many Estonians turning their backs to their former hero. Still, he was oficcially declared clean, case closed, everyone moved on. Now his name comes up again and even if he really had no idea what his son and trainee were up to like he claims, it brings more bad light to his case.

Lol.

 

I guess it was just coincidence that someone gets involved with a big doping case himself and years later both his son and his trainee get involved in something similar :p

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
