Martin Fourcade Nordic Festival has its line-up confirmed and it is a good list.

 

Also if you want to get in on the action, it is only 40 Euros to participate.

 

Too bad the South American championships are coming up soon.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

What are the dates for this.  I have been unable to find anything online.  I might be simply showing my lack of tech Davy here.

There’s not a lot of information about them ever. He’s just lucky enough to know someone :evil:

Absolutely, never found anything about it other than the PDF's she usually sends me (which she gets from the national federations).

 

I believe it's in August, done in several stages. Haven't I posted about it in this thread before? If not, I'll take a look when I'm back at my laptop :p

I did find this on the Brazilian website about how one qualifies for the team.   At least I think that is what it says.  There is a general criteria found here.  Considering the lack of snow, Brazil's federation website is pretty good.  Argentina's has not been updated since 2012.  Chile does not have one, just an e-mail address.

This is why we need to bring back the Winter Pan American Games. We have at least 5 countries that could compete in cross country skiing and biathlon for sure. Not to mention alpine skiing, speed skating, and figure skating.

:hairpull:

 

This has caused SO MUCH stress and feelings of unfairness :lol: It's been changed a bit for the upcoming season, but for example last season athletes had a list of criteria and every one of them resulted in part of the season being paid. Problem is, the whole thing that had to be paid was supposed to be awesome, but sadly just was not...at all (basic things like food were not even there, half the time the athletes didn't even have the option to have breakfast and/or lunch), there was no option at all to have a decent sort of rest since the freestyle skiing team stayed in the same place and was NOISY until way after midnight (when athletes want to actually rest) and so on. Just very basic things that were impossible there...try and improve in that kind of situation.

 

About Chile: I have a feeling they'll improve their online presence within a few years, they're getting a much better national federation president :p (smart and relatively young guy)

      Finals are set    An all-Canadian final on the women’s side, as Team Homan looks to win their third title of the season (and improve to 18-1) against a hungry Team Einarson who have had a less than ideal start to the season, they were also the last Canadian team to beat Homan over a year ago (same event coincidentally), while on the men’s side it’ll be a battle between Olympic medalists as Team Mouat goes against Team Gushue!

      from what I heard , Iran has registered to participate in Alpine, CC skiing, SkiMo, Skating (they didn't mention which discipline ) and ... (this one will be surprising ) ... Curling    Curling is not a sure thing yet, the NOC has to approve it. the team is very new. I mean very very new, only few months ago they gathered few people to start the sport  you can't lose 100-0 in Curling, right ?    anyway it will be first time ever Iran participating outside of FIS disciplines. ( I didn't count Ski orienteering in 2011 which was the same as CC)   nobody cares about winter sports here. therefore finishing last won't have consequences. they can afford sending very weak teams. (which is not the case for the main Asian Games)

      11 medals out of 15 athletes. for whatever reason  we sent an incomplete team of 16 athletes (only 1 left for tomorrow) I wish I knew why  I can guess though   the result is indeed very good in such a competitive sport but lack of talent was never our problem in taekwondo. it was always there probably much more than any other country.    but the problem is the transition to the senior team. most of previous junior world champions never even made the senior team. (the new federation is doing better in this regard though)
