Btw, does anything think Wierer faked the illness yesterday to boost her chances for the mass start? And she clawed all the deficit back to Vittozzi in the standings. Do we have another Vitkova vs Koukalova catfight in the making now? :whistle:

I hope not because yesterday with Wierer, Italy, in my opinion, would have won the world title and I don't think we will see Gontier shooting clean anymore...

Patrick and Mike on english ES mentioned conspiracy theory about that.

Well that's easy to say :p Without Öberg's misses, Sweden would have won the world title. With Kaisa, 16 less misses and minutes faster skiing times, Finland would have won.

finally! finally! finally!

 

I'm so happy Doro proved me wrong...at least once in her lifetime! :whistle:

 

by the way, she got so close to give me reason also this time...

 

but apart from that, I've always been so harsh on her because I've always felt so frustrated by her wasted chances...and more than anything by her reaction, her attitude toward those missed chances...

 

and when it wasn't expected at all, when nobody thought she could do it...bang! the race of her life! :bounce::cheer::champion::bowdown:

 

p.s. I must confess that a couple of tears have made their appearance down my eyes at the end of the race...

 

p.p.s. however, today it was Vittozzi to give me some "satisfaction"...just started and she already had 3 missed shots...:facepalm:

in the end, she came back from second last to 8th (and just on Roeiseland's shoulders)...so, not a disaster, after all...

 

p.p.p.s. however, in the women's division, this is really the world championship of the "Imaginary Invalid"...apart from Oeberg's 15km, there's no race where the podium is not monopolized by supposed sick girls...:whistle::mumble:

then they seem to be offended if someone says "I don't trust you at all"...:rofl::raspberry:

    • We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid
    • I’ve had 2weeks long Olympic holidays each time since i graduated from the university in ancient times of year 2003   Both winter and summer. Always.   i had those olympic holidays in every job contract 😉
    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
