@brunamoura @heywoodu:(

 

 

That was received as excellent news here :p The main problem (for the team) was her joining the team to the Czech Republic after travelling by train (despite the trains not being very busy and her probably taking more care than anyone else for a long time now). Trust me, the cancellation of those races made an enormous shitload of doubts and complications disappear :d 

 

Meanwhile she finally managed to travel out of here and towards competition areas yesterday morning. We put her on a train trip towards the Oberstdorf region and since the German railways are....not the very greatest in the world, within 5 minutes of departure I already saw there were sudden major issues on her route, so I spent the rest of the Sunday (succesfully!) navigating her from train to train and steering clear of all the trouble. Fun fact: all the delays and the subsequent changes in routes and trains meant she ended up at her destination nearly one hour earlier than originally planned because the detours were done with the fast ICE trains :d 

 

Anyhow, our resident Olympic hopeful has made it to the Oberstdorf area yesterday afternoon and is, for all intents and purposes, ready to race at the world championships!

Yes, we‘re expecting temperatures over 10 Degrees in the next time and it could get even warmer. But at the moment there is enough snow in reserve, so we not worry to much. But you‘re right, especially when so many athletes skis over the track it could get very deep and it could be a question who finds the right wax.

On the bright side, technique will become less important and power/endurance more important if the tracks get so bad :p 

 

Something which I personally find not a bad thing at all. As long as there's enough snow to race of course, let's hope so.

Snow here in Baldershwang, only 20km away from Oberstdorf, was today already pretty different than yesterday... the warm weather started melting the track. Luckily we still have a lot of snow, so skiing probably won't be a problem for a while. But the track feels heavier... Oberstdorf is lower, so probably warmer. It's gonna be interesting to race if the weather keeps going this way ??

I am sure that after such a cold winter they will have lots of snow in reserve.

      But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.

      And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

      Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response

      You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.
