Nordic Combined has a bit declined in past years. Roman Perko will most likely remain athlete with best Slovenian performance in history of WCH for quite a while. He came in 5th in Trondheim 1997. But we do have Ema Volavšek, who ended last season premiere World Cup overall in 3rd place.

Both Ema and Silva have declined this season. Considering Janus is their coach I find it funny that they both declined in ski jumping. Ema is still somewhat decent at xc, but Silva is just poor. She was poor last season and I didn't think she could have been worse this year, but she managed to do it. If Ema somehow finishes in top 6, I will be happy. Any higher would be a surprise. As for men, Gašper is the only one who can realistically finish within top 30. But his recent jumping form was terrible. And he needs a good jump like Sahara needs water.

As you said, top 6 is realistic goal for Ema, Gašper Brecl could end up in top 20 with better jump, because of "4 athletes per nation" limit. 

 

I have some hopes for Mixed event, because they were quite good in World Cup, so even here top 6 is possible.

Great jumping part from our girls, top 6 is quite possible for Ema, which would be great after her back problems, that is why she has troubles this season. 15 year old Teja Pavec also very well, though I know she will lose some time on course.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
