Inside The Games has the perfect opening for me (I mean perfect, they’re looking for Junior journalist, with not much experience needed), but of course they’re based in the stinking UK, which last time I checked, isn’t that close to LA :cry:. I thought I could make it financially I’d move in a heartbeat, but there’s just no way. Plus, I’m pretty 95% sure I’d need a work visa (though I’d bet they’d help with that maybe). It sucks to your dream opportunity come, and know that you have absolutely no chance at it :(

You can always at least drop your name there, in case things chance in later years.

They’ve just posed they’ll accept applications from outside UK. I’ve never been more excited to spend 5 hours making, editing, and writing a CV and Cover Letter :p

 

Cant wait to not be selected or even interviewed. Nothing like the autumn taste of rejection :d

For you it's funny, for me it's a sad everyday reality. Not only in autumn.

You’d be surprised at the amount of people that pop by Totallympics Media from time to time. I’ve seen that interest is growing.

Super Sprint in Ridnaun is gonna be extra interesting ?

I confess, now I am a little nervous.

There are also the Sprint (14) and Mass Start 60 (15) races in Ridnaun. But particularly I find the Super Sprint most exciting ?

Anyway, it seems like now it's gonna be possible to watch all races from there. So, see you in at least in two of them ?

So it’s true that athletes like the super sprint then? There’s been some debate about that amongst fans.

Would someone also explain to me how the mass start (60) works?

60 eligible athletes start, bibs 1 through 30 shoot in lap 1, bibs 31 through 60 shoot in lap 2 and from there on they are together and it's one 'group'. 

 

Makes for a bit of an unfair race, so yeah.

I know some other athletes (IBU Cup level) that like the Super Sprint. Honestly, I see no reason why not, that's a real Sprint and everything happens so fast. The penalty loop is short, so in case everything goes wrong at the shooting range, ski fast and you still can get something. Apart from that, the spare munition is a plus to make it exciting ?

    • Well it all started already after 2nd end and then they talked to the umpire. And the immediate reaction was to say the same accusations about Oskar instead to the umpire. this can not be seen in any other way as well rehearsed cheating.  You are allowed since a few years back to double touch the handle but you may never touch the granite. It is just like doing it with the broom further down the sheet
    • For the love of all that's holy, change the frickin' record. You haven't got a clue about UK funding decisions.
    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )
    • Always incredible to see people freely share information that you could not waterboard out of me

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
