don't feed the troll...

speaking of the team   Ilaria Scattolo will make her World Cup debut in Oberhof    meanwhile, Hannah Auchentaller (flu) will miss at least the Sprint and the Pursuit races...and likely the entire weekend (they would be stupid to let her ski out of shape in the useless mixed relays on Sunday)

American Football, Hockey, Cricket, Baseball and Wintersports (mainly Alpine Skiing, Biathlon and Speedskating)...what else? 

I imagine this will be sorted out behind the scenes before any major issues occur but I did not see this coming at all.

USA axes funding for WADA. Major crisis now. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jan/08/world-anti-doping-agency-faces-crisis-after-us-government-withholds-funding

Australian open and when the next event starts skeleton and Bobsleigh 

https://www.gazzetta.it/Sport-Invernali/08-01-2025/biathlon-vittozzi-chiude-la-stagione-inutile-forzare-punto-ai-giochi.shtml   The case of Vittozzi's injury is very strange and I`m increasingly afraid of her form during the games. The press communication of the Italian federation was terrible all the time - the seriousness of Lisa's injury was constantly hidden and the problem was trivialized. Well, for us the biathlon season is basically over, in terms of hopes for the podium of the World Championships, World Cup etc. All that is left for us is to fight for 5th place in the Nations Cup and maintain 6 places in the World Cup for the next season.
