Oh wow, 5th place for Baiba     @brunamoura (who, in case someone missed it, is coached by Baiba) nearly punched the chair next to me in half when she missed that 10th shot, but after that..

For the first time since 2017, Norway completes a world championship without any medals in women's events.

Can anybody do some research if it's the first time in like forever when Norway doesn't top the medal table? :p 

First time Norway had 10th place as best performance over all womens races, relay included )?!:yikes:

 

Swedes just like the rest of the season terrible shootinjg and decent skiing. Only saved by yesterdays relays where the others were even worse:wacko:

They didn't win three times in a row between 2015-2017 either ;) That was Fourcade and Dorin-Habert/Dahlmeier heyday.

Feels like forever ago now with all three retired.

Norwegian women collapse might never be explained. I thought they would possibly struggle with Roeiseland and Eckhoff retiring, but their women looked really on form at the start of the season. Tandrevold also had a history of brilliant results in Nove Mesto, which lead me to blow valuable points on her in the prediction contest :lol: I don't know what happened to them here, but the French seemed very ready to capitalise on that.

It’s the first time I remember (25 years watching) when the №2-ranked Norwegian woman has not stepped up to be amongst the best after the previous №1 retired.

      Curling WCF European Championship 2024

      Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...

      Men's Tennis ITF Davis Cup 2024

      By copravolley · Posted

      In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.

      Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC

      Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.

      Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By Medard81 · Posted

      Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
