Another postponement... And they dare to call St. Moritz as the most sunny place in the Alps. :p

Well it is sunny, there's just a band of clouds passing by all the time :d

Jan Hudec was MAD yesterday :d

 

Quote

After one of the most poorly managed days EVER in ski racing yesterday, by you know who, (I won't go into details) cancelling our training (of course after the top 30 skied) then sending us up again to 3000 meters with all or gear on a blue bird day, then finally cancelling AGAIN. Only to try to do a training run today (with everyone, even the ones who got to ski yesterday) in a snow storm today. And nobody has the balls to say anything at the coaches meeting. #pathetic. #itsgettingworse So, I opted to say ".... .... .. ......" and stayed in bed. Now enjoying this killer breakfast at the post hotel in pontresina. #nutella @nutella 
For the all the guys that didn't go yesterday, hope you get to run. Doesn't look awesome though. #VETmove #stmoritz #stmoritz2017 #hotelpost #pontresina #switzerland #worldchamps #worldchumps? 
Besides all this the courses and the tracks the organ of crew have built and prepared here are HANDS down the most beautifully, epic, "safe" and spectacular tracks we've had all year. Maybe everyone should ask these guys how to build jumps. 
For how dangerous this sport is...
For how much money it generates... For how many fans its has around the world... For how much Tv coverage it gets... For how good the athletes are... For how hard the teams work with A lot of daily risk to their athletes... ITS AMAZING how un-professionally the safety of the athletes is managed by... We understand weather. We understand the danger of ski racing. We understand stress. Ski racers more than most. But it's time for skiers AND their coaches to POOR and sometimes #mickeymouse Decision making. Or perhaps worse, utter, blatant disregard for the athletes themselves. #mediawins abba said it best. #moneymoneymoneyissofunnyinarichmansworld 
And I didn't even give you the DETAILS!!! We understand stressful situations and weather. But yesterday's events could have been EASILY avoided if the FIS knew how to play chess instead of just playing checkers all the time. #thinkstrategy 
Sorry not translating into Czech. I only know the swear words (which are sufficient) but wouldn't get my point across properly ... have a nice day everyone!!!

 

 

Annoying that he says his Czech isn't good enough to translate it, yet he does write it in incredibly poorly readable English.

    • Oh the 5 minutes debate on penis enlargement live on french public TV  The true spirits of the Olympics.
    • It's funny how for basically every World Cup event we have the TV cameras on the left side of the hills. Yet for every Olympics they always have them on the right side  Definitely need time to adjust. 
    • A bit better second run from Sochowicz, but overally he is second from last now...
    • -  and  -  on the ice right now. Crucial games for 3/4 teams.
    • Congrats man ! First of many of I’m sure 
    • Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.
