She is getting the big hype treatment for sure at the moment - profiles today in the Daily Mail & on the BBC.

Dennis Mitchell (her coach, for those who don't know) is cloning her at his image (far too histrionic for my taste...even if at least she has a nice smile)...

 

I hope he's not also helping her with the same "medicines" he used to take by himself during his career...:rolleyes: :whistle:

His real expertise was excuses. Certainly “beer & sex with my wife” is in the all-time top 10. (No. 1 - Raimondas Rumšas - “they’re for my mother-in-law.”

Do you seriously think that there is the slightest chance that she isn’t doped to the gills? Personally I don’t see how she could become a big star with her looks.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

no, no.1 is absolutely Francisco "Paquillo" Fernandez: "I tested positive because I used to practice cunnilinguus to my pregnant wife"...:yikes: :rofl:

by the way, Marcell Jacobs, after stunning the world with last week's 9.95 clocking in Savona, got an harmstring injury (1cm wound) and he's out for a while...:nopompom:

 

hope he recovers in time to get back in his best shape for Tokyo, but I fear his season is heavily compromised...:cry: :facepalm:

If it's confirmed that kind of injury is nothing serious, very common in high level athlete, nothing compromised, there is all the time to be in the best shape by the end of July......

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
