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

      Weightlifting EWF European Championships 2026

      Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that

      If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?

      Wrestling UWW European Championships 2026

      Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling. In 2024, Ukraine only won 1 silver medal at the Paris Olympics? So even domination in Europe doesn't guarantee even 1 gold medal at the Olympics. Although, of course, if Italy for example, can't even win 1 bronze medal at the European Championships, then there's no point in even going to the World Championships...

      Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková

      One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.

      I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us

      Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).

      Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.
