Finally, a couple of sad news for the fans of NTL.

 

at the end of this season, in fact, 2 of the greatest specialists in the history of the sport announced their retirement.

 

multiple World and European Champions and World Cup winners :ITA Greta Pinggera (women) and :AUT Thomas Kammerlander (men) called it a career.

Wild start to the Iditarod sleddog race this year. 


A moose was allegedly punched, and one was definitely shot, killed, and gutted. Unfortunately, the musher who had to kill the moose was assessed a time penalty because race organizers deemed he didn’t gut it correctly.

    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.
    • Sport climbing qualification system: https://images.ifsc-climbing.org/ifsc/image/private/t_q_good/prd/a0ga7v4gwmamb3gxouni.pdf
    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
    • British Sports Journalist Awards.   Man of the Year goes to Alex Yee, Woman of the Year to Keely Hodgkinson.   Alex Yee and Keely Hodgkinson among SJA British Sports Awards 2024 winners - Sports Journalists' Association
    • Alistair Brownlee, double Olympic Triathlon gold medallist.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c4g7y7ly266o
    • I suppose Lithuania qualified for women's world championships for the first time. Skip Virginija Paulauskaitė will debut at the age of 53 after she won silver medal in senior world championships. Incredible example of sport longevity
