Why no sprint distance this time?

I was wondering the same thing. Middle Distance is kind of watchable. Long Distance is completely unwatchable. Sprint I’ve really enjoyed watching. Same with the relay. The sprint is the most marketable event and they left it off the program. It’s a bizarre choice to me. 

 

Plus, I wouldn’t watch it anyways since they expect me to pay €10 to watch it.

IOF decided to split the WCH into two.  "Distances/Forest" championships every odd year and "Sprint/City" championships every even year. The reason for this decision is to make it possible for more countries to bid for a WCH. Some countries don't have "enough" forest to hold a WCH. IOF hopes that this new system makes it possible to bring more awareness of orienteering in the world. I have heard that Hong Kong is planning to bid for a Sprint WCH. Before that wouldn't have been possible for a country like Hong Kong to bid for a whole WCH, but now it is possible. Also, money I guess. More countries have the possibility to host a WCH which probably mean more federations in IOF, which can lead to more publicity in new countries, which can mean new sponsors to IOF. So yeah.... money!

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • 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.
