I am sorry to announce you this but just now in the czech TV, they said the Nove Mesto stage has been cancelled right now due to coronovirus pandemic. Everything was ready and prepared but the national hygienical office send now a message to the organizers about cancellation of the event.

 

So basically the Cross-Country World Cup 2020/21 is by today finished.

No worries, because of the problems about joining the team suddenly appearing today, we had already scratched the hope of her competing there. We've spent the past few hours making alternative plans, for now the plan is to go to a place near Oberstdorf tomorrow (there's a Brazilian couple living near who are willing to help with driving around and such), and stay on her own there for a week or so. Let's see if this plan sticks.

  • 3 weeks later...

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. Lithuania is not. Andorra is not. Armenia is not. Turkey is not.

 

This means that, if the rankings made by me, Brazil's manager and Jaque's husband/coach (all independent from each other) are correct, finishing tomorrow's race or getting lapped (since that doesn't count as a DNF) would put Brazil ahead of both Croatia and Turkey and well into the top-30.

 

They'd pass Thailand as well, but Chanloung still has a possible chance to stay ahead of Brazil depending on how the races go (pursuit and such). Then again, with only one DNS or DNF tomorrow, not coming from a Brazilian, they'd also pass Andorra. And if both score points tomorrow and either one of them starts and finishes on Sunday, they'll also overtake Lithuania (and even Greece if both Jaque and Bruna finish both races).

 

Top-30 is looking incredibly good, now it's a matter of seeing if the rules won't change or something and then Brazil should have two tickets...

I’m guessing that, assuming you are correct, this will rank extremely high on your list of best moments as a fan of Brazilian nordic skiing :D

Still not higher than the first time I visited one of Bruna's races (IBU Cup Obertilliach) and she shot clean in the sprint (I believe only the second time any Brazilian had ever done so) :d 

 

But yeah, rather high on the list! First waiting for tomorrow though, the points aren't in the bag yet. And it is indeed all assuming we're correct :p

@heywoodu assuming all that is right, which country will be bumped out of the top 30 by Brazil?

31st place it is...

 

Di Silvestris better get ready for the next Olympics. They can qualify an entire dynasty based on funds alone. :p

Croatia, who will need bad things to happen to both Brazil and Thailand. Which I'm not particularly hoping for, sorry @dcro :p

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
