What's up with these people thinking decapitation solves problems? Now my own little town has fallen victim :(

This is an example of great journalism. An outlet sought out an expert on the topic of the “interview.” They found someone with great knowledge of the topic, who was also able to vocalize that knowledge in a compelling and coherent manner. They allowed the greater public to propose questions, and the expert then answered a wide breadth of those in those in the interview. Ultimately, they created an engaging and informative product that likely appeals to a wider audience.

 

No one had to yell loudest to get a point across. There wasn’t a bunch of flashy/distracting graphics. The expert wasn’t trying to pander to a particular segment of the audience. Etc. This is just great journalism.

Cross-posting this from the biathlon thread. Watching biathlon from Belarus today & would you believe that this was the only time since the Chur Big Air in October that I have seen any winter sport on a brownfield track? :champion:
 

It’s incredible really, everywhere has snow!  :cheer: Not just artificial or stored snow, but actual snow! :thumbup: I go back over 20 years where we had three consecutive pre-Xmas biathlon races in Pokljuka because none of the other tracks had anything!

    • Sorry but this is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard… putting in 3x3 hockey (which doesn’t even have its own World Championships or anything like that) over telemark skiing, ice cross, and freeride skiing…    This is coming from a big fan of hockey. Curious as to what @hckošice @phelps @Epic Failure @copravolley@Topicmaster1010 think though?
    • Dawn McEwen will be unretiring temporarily (first time since Beijing 2022), as she’ll be stepping in for Shannon Birchard at the GSOC HearingLife Tour Challenge! 
    • The sister of Angelina Topić, Sofija Topić, is already beating her youth records.  Sofija (11) jumped 140cm which is better Angelina's 138cm at that age. 
    • I hope there is some diversity in teams across both disciplines.   I wonder how they will get the 240 quotas. Losing Nordic Combined + Ski mountaineering is only 72 quotas.
    • Last Call For Entries!!   If anyone still wants to enter, this is your last chance to do so. Since I now won't be able to use tomorrow as a voting day I have dedcied to give people an extra 24 hours from this point to enter. The public jury vote will still open at the advertised time. Below I have tagged user from countries that have yet to enter, hopefully they will consider to do so at the last opportunity:   South Korea: @erw@jgb0062 Croatia: @Nikica@snk911@VISOKO Gabon: @Damienyork Belgium: @ALABRAMMIE@Misterxxt Latvia: @Blueniceguy Dominican Republic: @eduardo096 Singapore: @bennetcraig39 Egypt: @mahmoud elrefaei @thepharoah Qatar: @amrgunenr1@KAE Australia: @Sir Rols@Stu192 @dullard Philippines: @JohnRamos84 @PHI2019 @Tigercub Iran: @Hesamkh1990 @MHSN Estonia: @Katie_M Bangladesh: @Razu Ahmed  Montenegro: @ChandlerMne Hong Kong: @pacowong1223    Also @NaBUru38 I know you said you weren't up for doing it due to time but do you think you would reconsider? The process would now only take 3 days with you sending your song Tuesday and voting on Thursday, which isn't really too much time taken up. 
    • I just now saw this, and I already have my vote ready, oh well. 
    • Quarter final Sept 30th    2 - 1     1 - 6    Second semi final October 3rd    vs      Europe vs. South America in the  Semi finals      Probably want to see a   vs  in the final.
    • Some details on the IIHF's 3 on 3 hockey proposal: 8 team tournament for men's and women's 15 athletes per team, 240 athletes total (if they include this they better increate the 2900 athlete cap...) IOC expected to make a decision about including it in the Olympics in March
    • Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.
