Something that would be so much easier with a normal job. :p

That really depends on the situation :p 

 

It might not be that easy to significantly increase your income when you're 25+ and didn't really learn a lot of non-sports stuff due to always focusing on your career, and the jobs you could do might only make for a small income increase but a big decrease in enjoying what you're doing.

 

Surely if they didn't enjoy what they did and saw the option to do something better, they'd do so :d

I'll never understand these Ukrainian/Romanian/Slovak lugers.

 

Sure, competing at the Olympics is probably nice and all, but collecting 28th and 29th places season, after season, after season, seems dull. :p

most likely, they're enrolled in some military corpse...

 

so, better earning that kind of salary by travelling the world with their luge rather than doing the actual tasks of their supposed job...:whistle:

by the way, is it me that I never noticed it or has the FIL live streaming service finally activated the true chromecast support to their video? :mumble:

 

in the past years I can only remember the chance to make the full screen mirroring and not the true video casting...

not a good start of the season...Germany begin with a win in their weakest discipline, the men's singles...:cry: :facepalm: :wall:

 

and the worst news of them all it's that Felix Loch is back on top again! :nopompom:

 

by the way, from an Italian point of view, very good 3rd place for D-Fisch despite his appendicitis troubles and usual average performance by K-Fisch...

 

meanwhile the youngsters have been quite disappointing (despite the good 1st run by Lukas Gufler, who ruined his race with an awful 2nd run)...

Ninis Top 10 in M and Relay in 6th at the WCh in Sochi last season are believe it or not one of the best winter sports results of the country last season. So the Luge federation called the last season successful

 

the distribution of our sports budget mostly depends on the results from the World Championships, the European Championships or the Olympic Games, the smaller federations knows it very well, and it is what they are aiming for the most

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
