Sport Events Cancelled due to Coronavirus Outbreak

Ski jumping boss Walter Hofer: "We have to inform you that the World Cup season 19/20 is over."

 

Not entirely clear if he means the men only (of which he is the race director) or the women as well. Kind of sad for Hofer, that means this is his goodbye after decades as the guy :(

Everyone was tired of Walter Hofer many moons ago. Good riddance.

Out of curiousity amongst all this: is there anyone with any sort of position in the world of sports you like?

You know shit's real when even NASCAR starts paying attention.

And down goes cycling even more, after the Italian races were already cancelled for now.

 

Nokere Koerse
Volta ao Alentejo
Bredene Koksijde Classic
Driedaagse Brugge de Panne (which is a one day event and not a three day event, as the name suggests, but fine)
E3 BinckBank Classic
Gent-Wevelgem

The rollerskiing FIS races in São Carlos in Brazil have not been postponed or affected in any way   

 

@brunamoura Please tell someone to livestream something on Facebook Live so we have something to watch at least.

Obviously Pays Bas doesn't follow ski jumping much. It's different in Poland. Walter Hofer and his sidekick Miran Tepes were riding on the fans' nerves for years due to their dubious decisions of allowing jumpers to compete in strange weather conditions. Tepes stepped from his post two years ago and Hofer was long overdue to get the hell out as well. Sandro Pertile will be the new FIS ski jumping director from next season.

I am aware of that, and of the whole general thing about ski jumping, posting on a specific ski jumping forum (international, definitely not Dutch) helps in that regard. Doesn't answer my question though (based on pretty much a never-ending stream of negative posts about almost literally everyone and everything that's not from 15+ years ago  ) but fine, we can leave it at that.
