Honestly I think not marking your skis properly is even more dumb :p

ok, another day and another bad day.

 

There were some expectations to attack the top 10 for our girls, but unfortunately they were visibly too much nervous today and failed. 2 loops in relay is too much for us, with 2 loops in relay SVK can not fight for higher place...unfortunately even Anastasiya who was supposed to lead our team failed in the prone shooting and Terézia Poliaková presented one of the worst running time of the whole todays race, must admit her shooting was excellent, absolutely excellent but c´mon at this level lost 2 and half minutes in 6km leg is a horror performance and since Ivona Fialková added our 2nd loop even with her combativity and decent run we couldn´t finished better than 16th...

 

this is very very bad, in Nations Cup we are 17th...and we will likely have huge troubles to remain in top 20, since it´s already confirmed that we will not compete in the new years 4th stage in Oberhof and questionable are also the 8th and 9th stages in PyeongChang and Tyumen. most likely we will miss both stages....I´m afraid it will have fatal consequences for our ambitions to be in the NC top 20.

Men´s relay...we expected nothing, boys fighted well, avoided penalty loops and finished 14th, not bad, we must see it in realistic view, this is prbably the maximum these guys can achieve, so fine. if they will be able to repeat it also in the next relays we should maintain our 15th place in the Nations Cup. even if we must calculate that we will miss Oberhof and most likely also PyeongChang and Tyumen.

The positive thing is a very nice 4th place of Jana Gereková in IBU cup pursuit today only few seconds behind podium, but still 4th place wow...something we didn´t knew for a while...

 

Janka will be back next weekend in Nove Město Na Moravě, still not known who she will replace, coach will announce it soon, but most likely it will be Poliaková

    • Goggia hasn't been herself in the downhill for four years and her losses on the flat splits are enormous. Nothing has changed in another season. Now Vonn has also arrived, in great form... Brignone was probably Italy's best chance for gold in the giant slalom, but because of that damn injury, it's unclear whether she'll even start. In the giant slalom Brignone in last year's form, was much better than Robinson or Scheib, while Vonn and Schiffrin dominate elsewhere. The last time Goggia was in top form was at the beginning of the 2021/2022 season, before her crash in Cortina. In that time, she excelled on every track and split and now she's almost 1 second behind the Austrians on the flat sections...
    • But unfortunettly they'll probably capture it, just like Bakhmut, etc. Unfortunately, for the past three years, the Rus' have been slowly advancing, but they are gaining these territories—mainly in Donbas. The question is, where will they be permanently stopped? Ukraine's problem is that the eastern part is relatively flat, with no high mountains or other geographical barriers- there's the Dnieper River, but Ukraine can't retreat that far west. This reminds me a bit of the fighting on the Eastern Front in 1944-1945, when the Germans defended themselves valiantly in what is now Poland, but kept retreating. There were good fortifications in former East Prussia, plus good defensive terrain, and the Russians advanced very slowly, but eventually captured what they wanted. Fortunately, Ukraine isn't fighting on two fronts like the Germans were back then- because I'm sure that if the Germans had fought on one: east front, they would have certainly stopped the Russians somewhere- sure not in Berlin :P   I generally enjoy World War II history. I recently watched some interesting fight of the German battle for Stalingrad in 1942. There were 3 large factories there and the Germans almost captured them all. They very nearly captured the city, and by September 1942, Hitler was practically certain it would fall.
    • I know you're joking, but that wouldn't even work because that day is the Super Bowl.  So NBC will only have coverage on the broadcast network until Noon ET and then will have a shortened primetime show and late night after the game.  Which means they'll have to condense Vonn in the downhill and the final day of the team figure skating event into that brodacast
    • Geez Men's Team Sprint Final extremely gravity-affected, fallers all over the place.   Catastrophic 2nd place for  behind Lord God Almighty.
    • Late change to the Olympic schedules - Womens' Downhill will now be a floodlit race starting at 22:00 CET 17:00 Eastern.
    • Just means Brigone will win gold at Utah 2034.
    • Russians claimed that they had captured Kupyansk several times.    
    • The plan is to have 4 different marching locations (one for each cluster). Presumably they will show the stadium entrance, and cut to the tv feed with 4 cameras, show the other 3 locations. 
    • They were counted sepatately in all the sports during Olympic qualifications. So right now they are to gran 2 male and 2 female quotas.   How potential reallocation will work if the quotas approved by FIS will not be confirmed by the IOC? I really do not know ))
