Does anyone remember if this rule was also last time around or is it something new?

 

I think it must be new. I believe it relates to the new rule in the OG qualifying. The last 10 in each gender are for NOCs who didn't meet the basic quota.

Think it's something new, none of the BLR/RUS athletes have been in the WC for years.  They've had their own circuit, so the next question is whether those events are going to be retrospectively counted for FIS Points, I guess.   

Russians and Belarussians have their FIS points frozen. And they would be the only ones eligible to fight for some of those 10 spots for NOCs not yet qualified. With the permission to start in the 1st period of WC expanded to 800 FIS pts, we've got 13 more countries among women and 15 among men.

Yeah, I can see now this is about something else.  Thought at first it was a back-door attempt by someone to get white shirts into Milan.

Norwegian roller ski weekend coming up.  International cast, as far as I can tell from the autotranslate.    Think we're able to see it from this link.

The winter calendar is starting to be nice and full, more and more countries have added their races and now it looks like not much is missing anymore (Switzerland for a bit, still). But...what is up with race organizers? Four years ago the calendar was filled to the brim with the two kinds of races that would be at the Olympics (freestyle sprint, classic distance), now they are surprisingly - and annoyingly - hard to find...

 

Especially the normally super useful FESA Cup has a disappointing list of events now :( Gonna be quite a puzzle where to go this winter. Do we have any active Finnish user who could tell us a bit about the best way to get to Muonio?

First registrations are officially done, so now we really can say that @brunamoura's first races of the Olympic season will be in :FIN Muonio! Two weeks earlier than we had planned a few months ago, originally the idea was to start in Italy at the end of November, but the Italy/Germany/Austria route this year (at least pre-Christmas) just doesn't have the right races, surprisingly and unlike previous season. Scandinavia it is then, starting with Muonio next week :)

If anyone has information on where to watch that (I don't see it in YLE's program), that is obviously very welcome.

Looks like it will only be shown on SC Play, the streaming service for the Ski Classics which one needs to subscribe to. Personally of course I'll go for that, 14 euro is a bit much for one weekend but it's important for me, but too bad for others who'd like to follow along :p

OTOH the Ski Classics races are always very long, so you get a lot of skiing for your money.  Much more than a BMX Channel, let's say.   :roflmao:

A BMX World Cup also takes 1,5 hours or so of viewing and racing :p 

 

I'd be happier if the big classics were in November, but they won't be, so my subscription will likely only be for Olos/Muonio :d

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
