the :NED Netherlands, who were leading after the men's section, had a very poor female stint and finished only in 4th place

Elite Mixed Team Time Trial

 

Gold: :FRA France

Silver: :ITA Italy

Bronze: :GER Germany

 

great comeback win by the French women

 

Italy had a 20-sec lead after the men's section, but the women couldn't resist the French rally and finally lost by about 4 seconds

Women's U23 Road Race

 

Gold: :NED Ilse Pluimers

Silver: :GBR Anna Shackley

Bronze: :SUI Linda Zanetti

 

Very good result for GBR and their hopes of securing a top 5 spot in the world rankings as she'll pick up additional 85 points.

 

So far this week, :GBR are net +140 points and we still have the road race to go.

:GBR 4th with Pfieffer Georgi and 8th for Anna Henderson will add a further 195 points to the GB total so they will finish the week +330 points. That should be enough to extend their lead over Australia to just shy of 500 points. It's difficult to see Australia being able to close that gap in the remaining 3 weeks of racing.

Worst possible results for :GBR hopes of top 5 finish with Christophe Laporte taking the win in the men's road race - :FRA pick up additional 250 ranking points. The only upside is that Valentin Madouas has had a poor Tour of Luxembourg so will drop around 175 points to give France a net gain of around 75 points.

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
