I see JTB is on the start list tomorrow and he is going for the Phelps-esq run to win everything :d 

And then we'll get the 'Most gold medals at a single world championships ever!' hype and such :p

 

Right, just forgetting that more and more events are being added all the time and so winning more medals is 'easier', but alright :p 

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!

but in this case the hype is justified by the "he's going to win ALL the events in a championship" factor...;)

That would be a significantly hype-worthy thing, yes :p 

 

Always hard to really compare athletes from different types and with different opposition of course, but stats are stats and it might make for a nice little fun fact :d

Feels surreal that the championship is halfway over and I didn't see a single race :(

 

At least the Lithuanians were nice enough to not surprise me with any significant results.

 

With the way that the European Championships went and the fact that we only have two relays to go here at Oberhof, the funding's gonna be very rough next year :rolleyes:

In fairness, it would be rather newsworthy if someone won every single event in their gender at any world championship. It’s one thing to be the best on a single day, other thing entirely to be the outright best on multiple days, across multiple distances, and different weather conditions.

M. Remeňová + Šima for :SVK ...Oh dear :d... hope they´ll take at least some basket with them, chance for some mushrooming in the woods once they will be lapped very early

They could at least (legally) get some high antioxidant wild blueberries if this was in Kontiolahti :p
