After the return of Marcel Hirscher, now there are rumors that one Lindsey Vonn is thinking of coming out of retirement. :d

Yep, confirmed.  We have Marcelletje for :NED, Lindsay Vonn and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen for :BRA.

 

However, Vonn and Hirscher will be wild cards, so starting down with the Chileans and the Iranians in the first leg.  Snow conditions are good though.  :clap:

World Cups don't generally have the exotic competitors we see in the world championships though, it's more likely starting down with the 13th best Austrians and such :d

I expected Vonn to return in a speed event, but guess she wants to test herself first on a slower GS. Though at 40 i think she won't be doing many GSs and concentrate on the DH & SG. And hopefully she does that, because a full World Cup season should be out of her aim.

 

As for Hirscher, he must really be scared of Odermatt breaking his records :d

He literally said "I wouldn't be able to qualify for the Austrian team anymore" (apart from making it very clear his main reason to come back is because he also wants to end up representing his mother's country), so I highly doubt he is genuinely expecting to keep Odermatt away from his records :p

There's discussions on the Short Track Forum about broadcast rights.  Came across this page a few days ago when I was looking into biathlon news.  Seemingly there's going to be a mess with Alpine rights in :NOR with races going onto the expensive pay TV service Viaplay.  Was looking on another forum and a Norwegian guy was saying he couldn't see anything for this weekend.....

I'm not sure how it is elsewhere, but in the US the rights for all events in :AUT and :USA are sold separately, while every other event's broadcast rights was sold in a package (to an expensive pay streaming service)

    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?    
    • You mean in terms of live streams? Because the results page has been looking like it does now for a while already. Not a terrible update, for once, but not great: they used to have a blue M and pink W for men and women's events in the details page (like here FIS Cross-Country - Bruksvallarna (SWE) - Event Details), but that's now all the same color, which is rather annoying when trying to make one's schedule  
    • Thanks for the North America continental award.   I will say, tho, that I will share it with @Olympian1010 as he picked the song (there was a demo and a more complete version, which is the one we ended up going with)
    • This is the issue. Polish athletes represent our country,  should be more patriotic in my opinion, get two passport, learn them culture and lamguage. She failed with that probably. 
    • I still remember that travesty from oppening of Paris 24. If anyone could turn the games (oppening and closing included) back into sport thing rather than some travesty of all sorts (political, woke culture, religious blasphemies), i could only approve that.  
    • They will miss the times of Hussein if things continue like this. Hussein didn`t change this law...
    • Incidentally, FIS-Ski have updated their website and app for the forthcoming season.  Looks like it is going to be a lot easier to follow all the second-tier events like telemark, para, European Cup & age group races which they often covered, but haven't ever been easy to find week-to-week.   Home - International Ski & Snowboard Federation
    • Well this is....let's say, not nice.   Iraq Closer To Amending Law That Allows Men To Marry 9-Year-Old Girls: Report
