"Quotas" for :SUI:AUT in women's U23 race.

 

These U23 quotas are such a fail. We could potentially see a Portuguese racer qualifying, even if she was completely off the pace. :facepalm:

 

Looking at the nations rankings, :ESP and :EST are the best nations not in the top 21, but they are ranked 23rd and 22nd respectively so it wouldn't take much to qualify normally. After that we have :POR then :RUS. We almost could have a scenario where someone that was lapped would qualify to the Olympics.

It’s like saying Voldemort’s name in the Harry Potter universe @Laraja.

I don't get it. McConnell is leading by a margin, and yet the commentators are not surprised whatsoever.

It’s Mountain Biking, anyone can win on a given day at the top level.

2nd, 4th, 5th this year...it's not like she's been totally invisible so far.

 

Edit: 2nd in a main race, standings are a bit annoying to read but she is 5th in the World Cup

Usually that's not how it goes though. There's a relatively small handful of people taking the main results.

Yeah Mountain Biking’s been a little less competitive lately. I still enjoy watching a race though.

I love climbing on bike, skates, skis, etc.; but that steep switchback climb does not look fun to me, which says a lot about how steep it is.

This back half of the race has made for quite a boring event. Plus, Sagan’s not here so there will be a grand total of zero pointless wheelies

I mean, I find it cool Ferrand Prevot once again wins a world title at this supersweet track (as far as I am still feeling anything 'cool' or 'happy' after the shocking motorracing news which hit pretty hard), so that's nice, but yeah....once she overtook McConnell this turned into a major borefest.

      Snow and wind in Ruka this morning, so the scheduled Ski Jumping round was cancelled - good news is that they did manage a provisional round yesterday, so that's going to be used as the base for the race later this afternoon.     Nightmare for Ilves  who won in Norway last week - he starts in dead last place, down among the dead men in the Wave.    Viessmann FIS Nordic Combined Provisional Round Ruka (FIN)

      Interesting remark by the  Comms - apparently FIS have restructured their definitions of Cross Country wins, to reduce the impact of all those semi-wins in stage races with a start advantage, so Johaug is now put on 82 wins.   Obviously prompted by Shiffrin on 99....
