What shame.. no comment for this decision, i hope that Ukraina will be exclused from next contest

Tell me why Ukraine should be excluded from next contest? Because they not accepted this that Russia broken rules and decided to send to contest artist which pefromed two years ago on "Russian" Crimea? There was an "black list" of Russians artists which pefromed on "Russian" Crimea and all of them are unable to enter to Ukrainian teritory by few years and Julia was on this list. Russia from the beginning doesn't wanted compete in this contest and they choosed singer on wheelchair on purpose to discrimine that Ukraine is bad country, that Ukraine not let invalid artist to compete in contest, it's all political game, sadly.

I can't say I'm surprised, but it's always sad to see a country withdraw. In this case, however, that was Russia's own doing. They knew what they were planning and with the intent on making Ukraine look bad next to them. But Russia won't get all of the blame. The EBU dropped the ball on this issue big time. They were in the position to at least mitigate this situation, but decided not to. So, while I have little hope Ukraine and Russia will change their ways, I'm certain the top guns from the EBU and Eurovision will find themselves out of the job come this summer.

Juliya was not on that idiotic black list. ;)

 

However the best option will be baning of entire post soviet block. I am sick of them and their fucking politics. Only Estonia can stay

    • FIS has released the FIS Cross Country World Cup 2026/27 calendar: https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/x/46d75109f7/wc-cal_nordic26-27.pdf    27.-29.11. Ruka (FIN) 04.-06.12. Trondheim (NOR) 11.-13.12. Davos (SUI) 31.12.-03.01. Les Rousses (FRA) 05.-06.01. Oberstdorf (GER) 08.-10.01. Val Di Fiemme (ITA) 22.-24.01. Engadin (SUI) 29.-31.01. Toblach (ITA) 12.-14.02. Lahti (FIN) 22.02-07.03-2027 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Falun (SWE) 12.-14.03 Oslo (NOR) 16.03. Drammen (NOR) 19.-21.03 Ulricehamn (SWE)   oddities in the calendar:   1:There is no stage for the dates 18.-20.12. It turns out that at the beginning of the season there is a 2-week break from 14.-27.12 without any starts; there is no reason for such a long break. 2:Oberstdorf at the Tour de Ski. FIS kicked Oberstdorf out of the Tour de Ski because the weather there was always something wrong and stages were constantly being cancelled, promising that it would no longer do business with Oberstdorf and that there would be no more weather problems at the Tour de Ski. What is Oberstdorf doing at the Tour de Ski again? 3: There is no stage scheduled for February 5-7. This means there's a week-long break without competitions mid-season from February 1-7; there is no reason for such a break. 4: The stage in Lahti (FIN) in mid-February. It can be -25 degrees Celsius in Finland in mid-February. Why risk canceling the stage? 5: The stage in Oslo (NOR) is scheduled immediately after the 22.02-07.03.2027 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Falun (SWE), which means there will be no 50 km marathon in Oslo (NOR). FIS will not schedule a 50 km marathon for the stage before the 22.02-07.03.2027 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Falun (SWE), since no one will come. This means the 50 km marathon will be at the season finale at the end of March in Ulricehamn (SWE). But Ulricehamn (SWE) is Sweden. Also, Ulricehamn (SWE) is southern Sweden. At the end of March, there is snow in Canada,iceland,Australia, and New Zealand. There is also snow in Tibet China, and Japan. But Japan and China have a very negative attitude towards foreigners and will not cooperate with FIS. If the final stage with a 50 km marathon were in Canada,iceland,Australia, or New Zealand, there would be no questions, but southern Sweden? What is FIS thinking?

    • For me most important are the sports i follow all the season: biathlon, cross country skiing, ski jumping and curling (here i follow only European and World Championships). These are my 'golden coloured' sports on my excel schedule. The second group is: ski alpine, bobsleigh, short track, skeleton, nordic combined and some of the freestyle skiing (ski cross and slope style).  The third group: luge, speed skating, snowboard.   I will also look up for ski mountaineering - i never followed this, so I am happy to give it a try.         Sorry i have to say it: if it is a multiple choice poll the results should be number of votes for the particular option divided by number of voter, not the whole sum of the vote. It is probablythe forum engine, but every time i see a bad diagram, i rage out. The results should look like this:
