Not a good day at all from my teams (Hazers-13th & Minty Maniacs-16th). Maniacs are only 1 point behind the Orangers. Was not a fan of this funnel event. It was super difficult to see what the hell was happening.

I wasn’t a fan of black hole either. I much prefer the traditional funnel event. 
 

Solid day for the Orangers though. I’ll take a 6th place, especially when it places us back in control of the overall standings.

Agree with the comment about the poor quality of this event, would not like to see it carried over to future Marbalympics.  Typical performance from the Yellows - shocking first run, but some pride restored on the second.  Not enough to get us out of the relegation zone though.

There is no relegation. The top 4 teams in the Marble League are automatically in the next Marble League. The other 12 teams enter the qualifying round along with teams that failed to make it this year.

The season started badly, but these are great days for Savage Speeders. With such a fluke in the semi-final and a poor first leg of the final we get the gold. But what the O'Rangers did in the heat... that was like OOOooooooooooooooooooooo :)

And we're just ten points behind the leading.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! What a day! What a performance from the Orangers! 
 

Two large heat wins, one MR, and a second place to finish it out! We retain our lead in the overall standings. 
 

The 5m Relay is always one of my favorite events.

Mellow Yellow are officially the first team unable to win this years Marble League after falling more than 100 points behind the Orangers in the overall standings.

    • Noel- 1st place today after 1 run, Amiez- 3rd place... Vinatzer is a talent similar to Noel, so I ask where are his results, where are the other skiers in the lead of classification? Did they really think they would ride on one Gross and Razzoli until 2026?
    • The problem of the Italian federation is that her system doesn`t work and we can`t afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level under that Croatia in women and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often didn`t finish runs a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either doesn`t finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly placed around 20th place in the World Cup... If we can`t afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year at home, so I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else... If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue   Btw. maybe it's better investing in private teams like Colturi, if it works? I'd like have 1-2 Colturi in private teams, who will stand on the podiums of the World Cup, than a national team consisting of 5-6 average skiers, who can take 20th place at most, if they finish the race at all...

    • @Antooo any chance that you will be able to prepare 2026 olympics schedule in Excel/PDF file like you did for 2024??? It should be easier now, much less events to do. And no hurry at all, we have 15 months to go...

    • IMO the Italian federation was right in not giving to that financial and political blackmail - had they accepted it, plenty of more established athletes in snow sports could have asked for more under the threat of changing nationality. It's not like they had a sports almanac from the future saying that that 15yo girl would have won 5 olympic gold medals and 5 overall world cups.
    • Allez  He tried to pull this one lots of time and finally managed to go all the way.
    • Nonsense. Chamizo moved to Italy, married an Italian, he's still here after many years and was essentially banned from competing for Cuba. Colturi's tie to Albania is that the Albanian federation had invested a ton of money in her mother's business (élite and very costly academy for young skiers), and then gave her a role, and probably another big salary, as a director in exchange for the pomise of their first winter Olympic medal. A better comparison is to that archer who competed for Ivory Coast because her father had a big clothing business in the country.
