The :USA held trials this past weekend at Soldier Hollow to determine teams for both the World Cup and IBU Cup teams.  It was rollerski, but was postponed a few hours on the third day due to snow!

 

Here are the US athletes for the first three World Cup events:

Clare Egan (Cape Elizabeth, Maine)

Susan Dunklee (Barton, Vt.)

Joanne Reid (Grand Junction, Colo.)

Emily Dreissigacker (Morrisville, Vt.).

Sean Doherty (Center Conway, N.H.)

Leif Nordgren (Hinesburg, Vt.)

Travis Cooper (Kenai, Alaska)

Alex Howe (Gilford, N.H.)

 

The women's team looks solid, the men's soso.  Neither team will do really well in the relay,   I would love anything in the top 10, that that would be a minor miracle.

Well, sadly, I don't see anything changing for Team Lithuania this year.

 

There's really no hope with the women and not much hope on the junior side either

 

Kaukėnas is probably going to continue to underperform, Karol is not getting any faster, so hopes go with Strolia, I guess.

 

The male juniors although are showing promise, so perhaps we can keep the men's team afloat.

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict.
