Meanwhile the first competitions in months have been held, but the Chilean races obviously only had Chilean athletes this year, so they're not that interesting sadly.

There’s usually some credible names in the New Zealand international season in Aug/Sept....not this year though

The whole statement:

 

Quote

At its meeting today, the FIS Council, including the members of the Marc Holder Foundation, based on a complete loss of confidence, has decided by a great majority vote that Sarah Lewis will no longer serve as the Secretary General of FIS, effective 9th October 2020.

 

Translation for those not reading English: "Thanks for 20 years of work, now get the fuck out."

Good thing Sölden is already behind him and it's a while before his main events are coming up, so it shouldn't be much of an issue probably.

Some hard core revolution happened today in Slovakia.

 

The Slovak Ski Association is not anymore a National sport federation.

 

 

The Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sports of the Slovak Republic takes away the status of the national sports association from the Slovak Ski Association (SLA).

 

Following an agreement with the International Ski Federation (FIS), the state moved the whole movement, which brings together several disciplines, temporarily under the Slovak Olympic Committee (SOŠV).

 

Based on this, also our skier Petra Vlhová should continue undisturbed in the started season of the World Cup. but will not represent the Slovak Ski Association but the Slovak Olympic Committee.

 

The patronage of SOŠV should apply not only to the Alpine Skiers, but also to other sections and their representatives, Cross-Country Skierss, Freestyle Skiers, snowboarders, Ski Jumpers or atletes in the Nordic combined and grass skiing.

 

this reaction from the state and the olympic committee came right after 46 sports clubs with 1,317 members !!! (almost all our skiing clubs), including Petra Vlhová, basically the whole Alpine Skiers and other representatives from ski jumping to cross-country skiing, decided to leave the association today. Five of the six members of the general assembly also resigned

 

everyone has enough of the current leadership under the Italian Marino Mersich (an extremely controversial character) who is behind our ski association for 12 years now (even if he was successfully kicked out a couple of years ago he still under some strange circumstances was able to place at highest posts of the federation his people and under which the Slovak skiing has completely disappeared, Ski Jumpinh and Nordic Combined does not exist anymore Cross-Country is barely living and behind Petra there a big hole also in the alpine skiing.

 

More here in slovak https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/472080/revolucia-v-slovenskom-lyzovani-petra-vlhova-a-dalsi-pretekari-opustaju-sla/

Reaction of the State https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/472099/ministerstvo-skolstva-odobralo-sla-statut-sportoveho-zvazu/

and the Ski federation attacked back saying that nobody can take away anything from them and they are the only eligible representatives of all Skiing sports in Slovakia and in all FIS events, and whoever want to step out from the federation will have to return all the fnancial support they get and also return all the assets they have borrowed from the SLA. Sort of slovak stop the count ! We won ! :lol:https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/472122/reakcia-sla-na-aktualnu-situaciu-vlhova-je-nadalej-clenkou-tvrdenia-sa-nezakladaju-na-pravde/

Todays surgery in Innsbruck means the end of season for Bernadette Schild. Knee injury in training, the exactly same injury she had in Solden 2019 and quickly finished her season last year.

I really hope we'll see her back in shape at some point, it's always tragic when someone is out for so long :(

    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
    • Yeah this was amazing, the entire weekend was one massive rollercoaster every which way for everyone
