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.


Has been a terrible season.  Whole team,  all backroom staff & ownership deserve to end up in charity shops.

As the Marballympics reaches its climax, the Marbulla-E season resumes with a visit to Berlin....

 

No spoilers, but an exciting race & a lot more changes of lead than you will ever see in the four-wheel version of the sport.

This week is the final week of Marble League. We’ll get the final four events of the 2020 ML, as well as, the 2020 ML Showdown (which is the first step in qualification towards the 2021 ML).

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

What a performance! What an event! The Orangers have really outdone themselves today. Yet another ML record for marbles in orange, and another victory! We now lead the overall standings by 35 points! It’s not over yet though, and the marbles will need to stay concentrated on their performance.

 

High Jump might be my favorite event this year. What a thrilling competition.

Could care less about the high jump. The races are better (aquathon could be fun). O rangers are running away from the competition. At this point I am hoping the Minty Maniacs finish top 3 to qualify for ML2021.

Minty Maniacs fall to 4th :(. At least the Hazers won bronze. Savage Speeders are inching closer to the O Rangers. Only 2 events remain!

Critically, they can still mathematically win the 2020 Marble League though. They’re still in contention for an overall podium too.

    • A bit better second run from Sochowicz, but overally he is second from last now...
    • -  and  -  on the ice right now. Crucial games for 3/4 teams.
    • Congrats man ! First of many of I’m sure 
    • Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.
    • History has been written.  women ski jumping participation at the WOG   Fun fact both our jumpers are the youngest of the field in both W & M competitions  
    • Langenhan looks untouchable    I thought starting last in the 2nd run might hurt him, he improved the TR instead.   The temperature should be lower tomorrow, I don't know if that may mix things up a bit.
