Cross-Country Skiing FIS World Cup 2020 - 2021

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.

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

Forgiveness is the usual outcome of an apology.

 

It would suck if he was banned, maybe deserved, but with Norwegians back, entertainment value would drop hard without him.

 

Fines work, don't they? Lets do that.

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.

    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling. In 2024, Ukraine only won 1 silver medal at the Paris Olympics? So even domination in Europe doesn't guarantee even 1 gold medal at the Olympics. Although, of course, if Italy for example, can't even win 1 bronze medal at the European Championships, then there's no point in even going to the World Championships...
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.
