wow! those photos are quite scary...I thought here in Italy (and especially in Milan, Rome and Naples) we had some of the most scary blocks where living is a true nightmare, but this looks also a God's punishment as well...:facepalm:

Yes, Petržalka. This place is a real "legend" here. In the 90´s it was the place with the highest suicidal rate in the whole central europe. Now it seems looking better, the municipality started many projects, placing green parks and so

That's quite an achievement with Hungary just behind the corner.

BREAKING NEWS: Caster Semenya appealing to CAS as Slovakian media relate to her as "Semenyová". Seems her chances has significantly grown up.

But "Niyonsabová" - no consequence with the alternation.

EDIT:  "Semenyová" here: https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/459876/caster-semenyova-prehrala-dalsi-spor-so-svetovou-atletikou/

well, in the 90´s with the regime we had around Mečiar, Slota and co. Slovakia was a real shithole of Europe.

You're in between Poland and Hungary with Ukraine on the eastern border... wish you good luck to keep strong.

I am really not so good in our grammar, honnestly, we have one of the hardest grammar in this planet so that´s an excuse, but I believe it should be because of two voyels in the end

 

vowel before a means -yaová.

consonant before a means -bová

Surprised that this thread didn't blow up yet :mumble:

 

Apparently, the IBU World Cup is going to run as scheduled, with possibilities for venue changes in the first semester.

 

Since health precautions cannot be guaranteed at the level of the World Cup, the Junior cup for the following season is cancelled, as well as the European Junior Championships, so the only start for juniors next season is going to be the World Championships in Obertiliach.

 

IBU cup is also going to be delayed a lot with first races starting in January. No comment on how athletes are going to be qualifying to the World Cup was given.

 

https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-adjusts-competition-schedule-for-2020-21-season?fbclid=IwAR3OWCmhUuP-mW6sn3T2HZONvUHzpU_sXZSqkvaTKaNHrKdLfTt2ceCsWsA

So I was looking at the IBU Datacenter.  The IBU Cup no longer has dates with the events.  I looks like those events will be organized on short notice.  If so, I would expect some of the traditional locales (provided they can host) to get those events.  When in times of crisis, the tried and true and known are usually better ideas than brand new.

I'm just wondering how many Lithuanian juniors are just going to quit this year if they're not travelling or racing at all, especially if it's a snowless winter again. 

 

We constantly have trouble with young biathletes quitting and leaving a huge gap in the B team, so yeah, I wonder how this season will affect that.

It is so hard to train for anything without a way to test yourself against others.  We might see a lot of youth/junior biathletes leave due to this.  I hope not, but hard training, with limited access to reward is hard enough (all of biathlon).  Hard training with very limited access to rewards is even harder (Junior/Youth) now.  Unless a nation has a youth/junior schedule, things could get bad.  The US is focusing on regional events this year.

Is it just me, but it seems that if you have a last name that begins with "H" in Germany, and are a female, you have a much better chance in biathlon.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
