The court in Oslo send today the former 2 times Olympic champion for repeated speeding and possession of drugs. In addition, he lost his driver's license forever. It is unbelievable how insanely.....idiotic some people can be. Seriously. Good thing he'll never get his license again, people with such mental instability are a danger for everyone. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dcro 10,182 Posted December 31, 2020 #73 Share Posted December 31, 2020 First Winter athlete from Tanzania! But his time is virtually useless.

No chance for a Project Bogota-like thing neither this time. Pretty good result from Steve Hiestand by the way, also from Manex Silva in the junior race - which I still think is unfair to get the same kind of points as senior races.. Too bad for them they aren't the athletes favoured by the federation, even though Manex is probably the best Brazilian cross-country skier at the moment.

When are they back anyway? Said January, so Lahti or Falun...to be fair, didn't really missed them much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because Lithuania is in self-destruct mode due to Covid and nobody sees this competition with any importance since there would be like 5 athletes anyways.
