I just... can"t even think what a feeling that must be...You think you do research, discuss with others, predict end of the world is near, even go as far as making an idiot of yourself on live TV predicting we only have a few weeks to live, and then it turns out you simply predicted a random user of a sports forum being visited by an alien asteroid :(

These (rather strong) aftershocks just don't seem to stop...

Indeed tragic... yesterday's 6.1 earthquake added 3 more victims in Mexico City alone; 2 of them caused by heart attacks; the other one caused by a panic attack that made a 33 year old threw himself out of a second floor :(

during last night thousands of people have been evacuated as tremors shake Mount Agung volcano in Bali

 

the volcano woke up , how are things  @Griff88  ?

 

 

 

 

 

I don't live in Bali nor affected by it.. But yeah it's a bit worrying since the tremors are extremely strong.

 

Balinese people in other cities and towns started to offer their houses as a temporary shelters for those who are affected. It's just really, really nice gesture.

    • 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...
