our reporter claims otherwise. Only the coach was reportedly positive. Swenn-Larson was not allowed to race only on the basis of the new covid-19 protocol, despite the fact that she had 5 negative tests in the last 10 days.

I suppose your Slovakian is better than my Italian :d  One has to say this looks like a backlash from the Swedish covid strategy that looks totally misguided with every week.

 

It seems like another Shiffrin vs Vlhova battle but Liensberger only 0.52 behind.

Yep, Vlhová´s journey in the WC is obviously one of the RTVS priorities, so we have all the informations from first hand :d

 

Thoma the Italian coach of the :SWE team was tested positive, and since the new FIS Covid-19 protocole forbids the whole team to compete in the stage if one of the given team (athlete or coach or even supporting staff) was positive.

 

This started a war, Brignone or even Pinturault already have loudly opposed this protocol and are calling for an change of this rule before the next stage. FIS in the other side argue that no team was opposed when this decision was approved during the last meeting.

 

BTW: If you are interested about some news From Petra camp, she has a new private plane this season only for her and her team, which will transport them between the individual resorts.

Yeah, I tuned in half-way through Vlhova's ES interview and she said it's been three weeks without her team which makes Swenn Larsson's coach positive test even more silly. I suppose Slovakia's entire winter sports rests on the shoulder of one woman :p

we really do not have much world or even europe class athletes, summer or winter sports combined, so, it is understandable that we protect and "pamper" our only jewel. :p  but yeah she must face also so big pressure and responsibility on her shoulder, that is really insane for a still so young girl

Other than Vlhova and Sagan you probably don't have a world class athlete since Hamsik is kinda enjoying a semi-retirement in the Gulf. And canoeing doesn't really count in the global picture :evil: 25 years old is prime age rather than "young" :p

Hamšík is in China, Weiss was the one who was trolling in the gulf.

 

Yeah, maybe, but still too much nation´s sport responsibilty and pressure at 25 when you are basically alone in the whole country to face it

    • Canada Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (13) - That's been the team size the last couple of Olympics so it's a safe bet again. Cross Country Skiing  (10) - Not too familiar with the qualification system. Probably around 6 men and 4 women. Ski Jumping  (5) - Loutitt, Strate and Maurer for sure on the women's side. Possibly a 4th will qualify. On the men's side, if Bowd-Clowes returns, then he should also qualify. Nordic Combined  (0) - Been a nonexistent sport for a while. No athletes competing in the World Cup or Continental Cup. Freestyle Skiing  (32) - Should qualify a team in mixed aerials which means a maximum team size of 32 athletes. Which athletes in which disciplines to be determined. Snowboarding  (24) - Full teams in slopestyle and big air. Then somewhere between 1-4 athletes in the other disciplines. Biathlon  (6) - Based on the Nations Cup last year, the men finished outside the top 20 and wouldn't qualify a relay team (and that's without Russia and Belarus). With Christian Gow's retirement, that makes things even more difficult. Women's relay should still qualify though. Ski Mountaineering  (1) - Gonna be optimistic here and say that one athlete will qualify either through the World Rankings or continental quota.     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (16) - 7 to 8 men, 8 to 9 women Short Track Speed Skating  (10) - Full team size Figure Skating  (12) - Most likely 1 man (I hope) and 1 woman, then 2-3 pairs and 2-3 ice dance couples.     Sleigh Sports   Luge  (7) - 2 women + 1 entry in each of the other disciplines Skeleton  (4) - 1 or 2 men + 2 or 3 women Bobsleigh  (14) - 2 men's crews (in both events) and 3 women's crews (in both events)     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Full team or else you might as well burn the federation to the ground. Ice Hockey  (48) - Both men's and women's teams already qualified       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (229) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (184)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (214)
    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Haikou Challenge | Haikou, China   Women’s Tournament Gold-  Xue Chen/Zeng Jinjin Silver-  Molly Shaw/Toni Rodriguez Bronze-  Lezana Placette/Alexia Richard   Men’s Tournament Gold-  Evan Cory/Cody Caldwell Silver-  Thomas Hodges/Zachary Schubert Bronze-  Gianluca Dal Corso/Marco Viscovich   Full Results
    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
