Swedish ski shape looked worse already last weekend and now worse but I can just hope it is the altitude and that they just need a few more days. I don´t know if it is my feeling or a fact that swedes are worse than others to prepare for high altitude. Tour de Ski as example, Ebba Andersson minutes after skiiers she is usually better than in val Mustair and then still finished 3rd in the overall after they travelled to the other venues.

no, it's not only your feeling...

 

also the Italian tv commentators yesterday were underlining this particular situation while explaining why Anterselva/Antholz is quite a different location than almost all the other world cup stations (the stadium is 1600+ meters in altitude)...

 

and they made the same example of Ebba Andersson and her fail in Val Mustair followed by the usual top results in the other TdS locations...

 

they also explained how the altitude affects not only the cross-country skiing (which is quite obvious and evident), but also the shooting phase because of its action on the blood and oxygen pressure...

It seems like the pre-season marriages have left even the French TV confused?

Another screenshot moment - Scott Gow :CAN leads!

 

Unfortunately has a classic sixth shot crisis.  :p
 

Leif Nordgren :USA misses the chance to go 0 0 0 - still good though.

 

Simon Eder first to go 0 0 0....

 

Loginov also 15/15

 

Jesper Nellin 4 misses on shoot 4!  :dunno:
 

Eder 18/18 & then....19/20 blows a certain podium.

 

Loginov first to 20/20!   Might still be vulnerable to 19/20 from a fast skier.

 

QFM bears Hofer to third by 0.1 of a second.

 

David Komatz :AUT also 20/20 but well down on time.

and those idiots want to get rid of the 15/20km individual race...:facepalm: :wall:

 

because it doesn't fit the average tv audience, they say...:hairpull:

It would be a disaster for the sport if we did get rid of it.  Every race would be won by the equivalent of Lars Berger or Miriam Gossner who ski fast & shoot at 80%.

      The third day of the Challenge Series (Group B) has just finished. Uganda confirmed their great form by winning by 209 runs against Tanzania. Honestly I think Uganda is the big favourite in the tournament, but anything can happen in three years.     In the other match, the most important one for me , Italy dominated against Hong Kong and won by 155 runs. Some batting was very good, on fielding we can still improve. Compared to the last matches with Hong Kong in the past years there has been a frightening improvement for the Azzurri.

      This is something pretty cool I came across just now, again from earlier this morning.  Classic Boat Race-type open river event on the Rio Guadalquivir in Seville,  featuring the two local Sporting Clubs, Real Betis & Sevilla, and big local crowds.  Women's and Men's races.   world rowing - YouTube

      I would like to make a minor comment on the provisional schedule for @Cinnamon Bun: I just came home from bringing the Brazilian jury to the airport, said jury will be in Sweden during the Grand Final  It makes me wonder if 'local time' should be the local time of the country (Brazil), or the local time of where the jury is in this case (Sweden), to avoid confusion (especially since it's a 1-person jury anyway).

      Trump's physical health may still be quite good, indeed. Mental health is a different story, judging by almost all of his speeches where he just gets lost in his own words.   But yeah, exactly what you mention: he can literally commit crimes and try and raise a coup, and his electorate won't care at all. That is of course besides the millions of people who might not really want to vote for a person like Trump, but simply believe with his policies they will have a better chance of paying their groceries, which - sad as it is - is definitely an understandable reason.
