Well the course seems pretty hard too

 

Btw, it's as if Kazakhs expected the fog to come, since they all started early pretty much. :p

The course in Arber is hard too :d (including a huge and steep uphill to start with, way bigger than the famous Wall of Kontiolahti, followed by a technical descent so not much room to gain a lot of speed)

Ooh come on, we can't have an avalanche skiing competition? :(

On Tuesday morning the Meteorological Office, Kazhydromet, issued a severe warning for snow. The text of the warning says that due to heavy snow in the Iliisky Alatau Mountains, snow avalanches are expected on 31 January – 1 February.  Meteorologists advise to stay away from steep, snowy slopes.

 

Due to the heavy snow and low visibility on the pistes of Shymbulak, the Organizing Committee of the 28th World Winter Universiade  made a decision to postpone the women’s super giant, which is part of Alpine skiing combined,  scheduled for 10:00 on 31 January. The new time and date for the race will be announced later.

The women's 1500m was amazing! 

Btw, i'm very impressed by the Kazakhistan's biathlon team but I mistake or i see some biathlete that compete in WC?

 

Kazakhstan is here with their complete World Cup team, yes :p 

 

Ussanova, Raikova, Vishnevskaya and Kistanova is basically the team they have in World Cup relays as well (sometimes with Poltoranina instead of Ussanova/Kistanova/Raikova).

Well, things usually look smaller on TV, so I wouldn't be so sure about Kontiolahti. :whistle:

According to the current schedule, women's combined slalom will be held today, while super-G will be tomorrow. :mumble:

That would be somewhat according to what they wrote:

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
