Don't forget FIS (skiing federation) regularly has their Congresses in June in places like Croatia, Greece, Cancun,... 

At least Croatia has regular FIS races every winter :d (and Greece does too, I believe)

 

But Cancun. Lol.

Yeah, don't kid yourself in thinking the old guys in the suits know that. They only see a free beach vacation with plenty of drinks and anything Phuket has to offer.

Well they’re being hosted by the Thailand Skating Federation, so it’s a nice bonus for the federation. I bet they make some money off of it (which is great for a developing winter sport nation).

But those races aren't in Dubrovnik, a luxury sea side city where only rich people can afford to stay (if everything is not booked by Beyonce and the likes)

Oh well, those governing suits like to look important in pretty places, making people believe they do it out of kindness or something. No, FIS officials don't care about the Mexican federation and ISU officials don't care about the Thai federation other than both of them being able to give them a nice beach resort with some good drinks.

It's not that expensive though. :p

 

I stayed once for free. Not to mention how speaking Croatian can give you some handy discounts. :whistle:

Well maybe that tells something about you ?

 

Just joking, but you have to admit when you think about luxury and expensive places in Croatia, you think about Dubrovnik (and Hvar)

Yeah, they are definitely not cheap as far as hospitality industry is concerned. Dubrovnik's old town probably has some record prices in restaurants, but going there as a volunteer I luckily never had to experience that. :d

 

However, as places to live, Dubrovnik (and Hvar) are in most ways like any other city. They are not exclusive for millioners like Monte Carlo or something. :p

Cancellation of The Championships 2020

Quote

It is with great regret that the Main Board of the All England Club (AELTC) and the Committee of Management of The Championships have today decided that The Championships 2020 will be cancelled due to public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic. The 134th Championships will instead be staged from 28 June to 11 July 2021.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
