Quite familiar with this from when I used to live in Asia.  The guy who gets his photo in the paper is the local politician, not one of the athletes.  :thumbup:

I saw that is was not one of the biathletes and chuckled a little bit.  I love the hat.  The area looks very Soldier Hollow-esque.

Nah, there’s too many trees. The place that reminds me most of Soldier Hollow is Almaty.

Both Anders Bratli and Michael Greis will leave their positions as coaches of mens and womens Polish biathlon teams after this weekend! :yikes: Just year before Olympics. What is even worse, previous womens shitty coach Adam Kołodziejczyk will take both teams :hairpull:

If you ask about biathlete it's just about who skis the fastest. Unavailablility of nordic skiis is a issue. Almost all teams are from defence forces so expect them to not miss targets. And with shooting being encouraged as sport they'd give up on biathlon I believe .

    • 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.
