OK that is the champ, obviously you have the likes of Andreas Wank which doesn’t work in a foreign language, but in your own native language...

Vojthas 947 Posted February 8, 2020 #287 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The unforgettable cross-country skiing women's relay from Lillehammer 1994: Maciuszek, Ruchała, Kwaśny, Bocek Maciuszek - simply a name (although might be translated as "she has a small piece of clothing") Ruchała - (fucked) Kwaśny - (sour) Bocek - (one can easily think about "boczek" - "bacon" spoken with the mountain accent) Exactly in that order: Maciuszek fucked a sour bacon... The coach really had to have a thought. ahjfcshfghb and Monzanator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Krista Lahteenmaki's name was supposed to mean something like "Tree by the bay" "Lahti" in Finnish means "bay" I'm here alright :P Lähteenmäki = Fountain's hill basically. Yes, Krista Pärmäkoski's family name is Lähteenmäki, with Ä-letters Monzanator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobtheAggie 340 Posted February 10, 2020 #290 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Sorry to interrupt the fun name discussion, but there were some races yesterday. Lots of misses in the Mass Start 60. There was only one in the men's race who shot clear (Tshchenko of Ukraine) but he finished in 24th. The top 5, Three Norwegians and two Germans had 2,2,2,3,3 respectively. I wonder if the format lends itself to additional pressure. The women also only had one shoot clear (Steiner of Austria) and she finished in 4th place. Once again, the shooting will be on view this weekend with a Supersprint, Spring and Pursuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
