To follow up on these Chinese downhillers, it appears it all started last year...

Basically, a couple of Austrian and Italian skiers arrived to China with an aim of lowering FIS points? It all seems like a scheme a la Project Bogota.  But this is China, so nobody will get punished, of course. :whistle:

all Wintersport World Cup events scheduled for the next weeks in Norway have been cancelled, from Alpine to Cross-Country Skiing, from Ski-Jumping to Nordic Combined...

 

and even if there's not official news yet, also Biathlon will be axed soon...

 

hopefully, a few of them will be rescheduled elsewhere, but I fear many others won't...

Little article about a Jamaican chasing qualification in Alpine Skiing: https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/02/16/benjamin-alexander-jamaica-skier

 

Don’t know what his FIS Points are, but it doesn’t sound like he’s close yet.

Competition starts today. There will be a livestream on the official website. Sadly there will only be 3 competitions for each gender (Super G, slalom, giant slalom). Surprisingly GB (on the men’s side) and Croatia (on the women’s side) could win some medals.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
