Basically confirmed right now by the head of organizing committee, the choice for speed skating is only between the Netherlands and Torino -
Then you could also say World Aquatics should try and limit the US' success in swimming, by that logic. Swimming is very accessible to the world, as is cross-country skiing in the winter programme, comparing it to the sledding events, for example. So Norway's success isn't their fault. If anything, other nations are getting less interested in it and nordic combined, thanks to the popularity of biathlon. Take Lampic for example, with her results in shooting, she'd be better off in cc-skiing. -

Loubineaud raised his voice before the Olympics, but I don't think it was heard much... There is also something to consider, the french federation seemed to have deal with the dutch federation some training privileges for the french athletes. -
If anything France should be considering hosting the speed skating at an exhibition hall, like Milan did.Never been a fan of hosting events in other countries if a solution can be found in the host country. -

I think, that FIS should be trying to limit Norway's advantage, not further help them... Klaebo is strong enough to wins without their help. It's fortunate that Norway no longer dominates the women's competition, as much as it did during the Johaug and Bjoergen era, because that would be truly boring... I'm also not a huge fan of Russia's return, but the fact is that without Bolsuhnov, Klaebo hasn't lost to anyone in last 4 years and is, in that`s sense, a very lucky man (apart from his immense class). Paradoxically, without Putin and the war in Ukraine, Klaebo would have a much harder time makes the kind of string of victories, when he does here. -

if it's about your gain, better 50% of San Siro stadium than 100% of the Bormio ski stadium, but if it's about how it looks, if it's about "perception", always better a full arena (big or small doesn't really matter, that's why they use the filled seats percentage to measure the impact) -

Finnish ski association released a statement. Translated using DeepL. You can find it here in finnish: https://hiihtoliitto.fi/hiihtoliitto-pyytaa-fisn-eettista-toimielinta-selvittamaan-olympiasprintin-tapahtumat/ The Ski Association lodged a protest against the competition because, after the competition, it emerged that FIS had granted the Norwegian service team permission to bring a waxing table into the service area during the sprint skiing stage, even though this was not permitted under the advance instructions given by FIS to the teams and not even brought into the supervised service area. FIS did not inform other national teams about the possibility of using waxing pads. In addition, after the competition, it became apparent that the US national team had brought prohibited liquids into the service area. According to the rules, bringing any kind of liquid into the supervised service area was strictly prohibited, but no action was taken. Norwegian and US skiers won all the medals in the competition. The FIS later apologized for its actions and admitted that mistakes had been made in both cases. According to Marleena Valtasola, Executive Director of the Finnish Ski Association, the FIS has not yet given the Ski Association a decision on Finland's protest. "Despite several requests, we have not received a decision on our protest or answers to related questions. According to Norwegian media reports, FIS has rejected our complaint, but we have not been given any official decision. We interpret this to mean that the FIS has not even agreed to consider the matter. We find this very strange, considering that the FIS has publicly admitted that a mistake was made in the competition," says Valtasola. There has been public discussion about the protest deadline having been exceeded. However, the deadline for protests is one month after the end of the competition when a rule violation only becomes apparent after the competition. Our protest should therefore have been considered. As a follow-up, we will ask the FIS's independent ethics body to investigate the matter and its handling. This body does not take a position on the results of the competition or the competition rules, so we are not demanding that the performances of the Norwegian or American skiers be invalidated. Rather, our demand is to investigate the events of the competition from the perspective of fairness, says Valtasola. It cannot be the case that some competitors are subject to different rules than others. In our opinion, it is also unacceptable for the protest to be simply swept under the carpet. Actions must be based on fair rules. Through its actions, the Ski Association wants to promote fair competition and ensure that all athletes and teams have equal opportunities to compete for victory in the future. We chose this course of action because it is the best solution from a sporting perspective and we believe that it offers the greatest opportunity to influence the future. Above all, it is a question of reviewing the integrity of the FIS's operations. This will no longer affect the results of the Olympic competition, but this must not happen again in the future; things must be handled better," says Valtasola. The Finnish Olympic Committee supports the actions of the Ski Association. "A clear mistake was made in the Olympic competition, which placed athletes in an unequal position. Such a significant error should be followed by more than just an apology, so we think it is good that the Ski Association is thoroughly investigating the matter with the FIS, says Janne Hänninen, Director of Elite Sports at the Olympic Committee. -
