Can you explain why Bendika participation damaged the qualification process of many NOC?

 

Sorry if explained before, did not read anywhere else

 

Yeah, it has do with how FIS Points work. Bendika was seeded much lower than she should be, since she normally competes in Biathlon. Because a “weaker” skier won the race, the points were factored higher than if a lower seeded skier had won. Becuase Bendika skied so fast, and was ranked so low, the FIS Points were factored in a difficult manner for slower athletes.

 

Hopefully that makes sense, maybe someone like @heywoodu could explain it more eloquently than me.

I did, when she stopped at the end of the finish area. But the camera didn't show that. And yes, I was specifically waiting for Ceci because we are always supporting each other despite of our races ag

I managed to watch RAI's coverage of both races.

 

Jonathan Soto :MEX actually has enough knowledge of how to ski on snow. Hopefully, he'll earn some worthy results that help him to be under 300 points by January 22 next year.

 

BTW, Italian comentator stated that Greenland was a Norwegian territory a couple of times :lol:. The man needs a remedial geopolitics course

And we're underway with the women's sprint qualifying!

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Bruna hugging all around on the finish line with Dominguez, not so much with Mourao :d

To be fair, she's good friends with the Argentinian and has simply had much more contact with her during the years :p 

 

Much better result than yesterday, this time she still clearly had some power left in the end, unlike the total blow-up of yesterday. Jaque Mourao is simply stronger at the moment, especially her race yesterday was very impressive.

      Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation.

      But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.

      And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

      Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response

      It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious

      You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.
