Whose idea was it to make the U23 race a qualification event? What is this, men's football?

 

it's because at the world champs many young regulars of the world cup senior races would eventually come back to their age class to try and get some medals (which they're unlikely to get among the senior ranks)...

 

it's to make it fair for them in terms of OQR (not forcing them to take a painful decision...going for youth medals or for a few -but maybe decisive- points in the OQR?) and for UCI to have the best possible U-23 race (with all the best riders in that age class)...

Fossesholm :yikes:

 

She ended up competing in the wrong cross-country apparently, since she's one of the world's biggest talents in cross-country skiing instead of cross-country mountainbiking...I thought :d

waiting for her to try also some athletics...maybe she's just as good as Johaug in the 10,000m...:whistle:

 

or why not some Triathlon?

 

and we're here wasting all of our time following Pita and his adventures...:rofl::facepalm:

She needs to try cross-country running, then she will have medals in all three...:champion:

 

She would not be the first dual CC Ski/Bike Olympian, though: one of the Czech girls has done both, can’t remember her name. Never near the medals in either, though.

 

Most common solo double is speed-skating / cycling, quite a few have done that.  (I’m not counting athletics / bobsleigh crew, extremely common.)

Kateřina Nash. She competed at 5 OG (2x Winter in CC Skiing 1998 and 2002 and 3x Summer in MTB Cycling 1996, 2012 and 2016)

 

Another Czech famous for competing at both games is Eva Vrabcová Nývltová (3x Winter in CC Skiing 2006, 2010 and 2014 and Marathon in Rio 2016)

Yeah a certain Brazilian has done the same (Olympics in MTB and XC) :whistle:

    • 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.
    • You can do the  same thing with trump:   Trum , Trumpet ,Trumeau ,Trauma ....
