Some good PB's by young Dutch athletes recently:

 

Britt Weerman 1m96 in high jump (national indoor record)

Pauline Hondema 6m57 in long jump

N'Ketia Seedo 7.21 in 60m

Sofie Dokter 4606 in pentathlon

 

Not to mention Femke Bol's 500m indoor PB, a result so good she might never break it again!

No Mariya Lasitskene. Interesting. Perhaps because her biggest competition are Ukranian girls and they don't want that conflict there.

Well, things are getting complicated now, because these athletes have completed anti-doping elegibility onlybut not any other kind.

I think this is only the beginning...the list is going to be enlarged quite soon.

yeah, we'll see how it develops.

 

however, first the IJF lifting any kind of ban against :RUS & :BLR, then this one...

Lasitskene is already in the ANA list, as noted in the press release. None of them can compete internationally still because of the war.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • 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.
