I am sure the T9 has been invnted by a fan of dr Sigmund Freud as a psycho-social experiment, but it got out of control and became a worldwide disaster.

It'd be a little unfair to many others if she would be...let her qualify for a spot in the IBU Cup team and there show what she can do in an international field.

I agree.   The one thing that it does though is push back her potential start until January due to the changes in the IBU Cup schedule.  I assume that there would be some events in Norway, Sweden or Finland that she could ski in as well.

One would hope so for her, since surely she'll have to use those mostly national races to qualify for the IBU Cup team :p

A few random news and notes:

 

1.  The US training camp scheduled for Austria has been moved to Finland.

2.  Loginov who has been training on his own will join the Russian team on 8 November. "Karim Khalili is expected to join Loginov at the final part of the team’s training camp on November 8, while Eliseev is due to continue training alone until the World Cup season begins on November 27 in Finland."

3. Tandervold had a terrible Rollerski event in Voss in September, has spoken out about what happened.  How bad was it?  She had a 40% hit rate!

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good giant slalom athletes (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. Take women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the XX World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
