I don’t know...the Finnish skier was in front, and he chose the outer lane. The Russian followed him into the lane (not on purpose most likely), and then was mad that the Finnish skier skied in the center of that lane. To me, that part of the move was clean. If the Russian is faster, then the onus is on him to go into a different lane and pass. Now, if the Finnish skier blocks him then, then that would be a dirty move.

Exactly. Basically Bolshunov tried to get into a space that did not exist. Yeah, then it goes wrong. Although it would still be great to finally get an angle from the front from the moment they're still in the corner. The replays started a little too late.

The most awaited start list of my life is out, the one for tomorrow's 10k classic mass start in Engadin. Jaque and @brunamoura are on it, as we knew already, but....Australia is not. Croatia is not. L

What was funny was that the English-language ES commentators had just been talking about how the Russian skiers always worked well as a team, unlike the Norwegians etc who were always competing agains

Sometimes I like to keep track of what happens to Instagram accounts of the relatively unknown athletes who suddenly get into spotlight for whatever reason (like Joni Maeki today).

 

Apparently getting bullied by Bolshunov is worth about 2k followers. :p

Via press release, no less.

 

All is forgiven ofc.

This confuses me:

 

Quote

The COOP FIS Cross-Country World Cup finals will take place in Lillehammer (NOR) from 19th to 21st March 2021. The final World Cup competitios of the season 2020/21 were originally scheduled in Beijing (CHN) but had to be cancelled earlier in the season. With Lillehammer in replacement, a save solution was found in connection to the overall calendar as the FIS Cross-Country family will be located in Oslo (NOR) the weekend before, for the Holmenkollen Skifest. 

 

In the meantime, the two Cross-Country World Cup events in Norway were given green light thanks to the approval of the health concept by the national health authorities. 

 

The schedule for Oslo can be found here. The detailed programme for the World Cup finals in Lillehammer will be published as soon as possible on the World Cup calendar on fisski.com/cross-country.

But....Lillehammer was for early December and has been postponed, after which the women's ski jumping and the Nordic combined were recently finally given a date (in February), but the cross-country events there are still listed as postponed. 

 

Oslo is still the only World Cup in Norway this season according to the FIS calendar, but this FIS article suggests otherwise.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
