Maybe he's having a short training camp in Austria while figuring out where the next races will be? 

 

Could be... But there is less than a month of qualification period left. Hopefully he'll go to Turkey, as that might be the best chance in Europe.

I hope so too. The Brazilian in Project Bogota said he's a really nice and friendly guy, who was willing to learn from the others and also willing to help them in things he can help them with (like some better equipment since he's more famous and has more access to good sponsors), so I'm definitely cheering even more for him now :)

Good race with 346 pts for :NEP Rai today. Wise decision to race in Slovakia. :d

 

I guess her next stop will be Turkey, @ahjfcshfghb?

It would be. But that’s over Christmas and nobody will be free to take her :( 

So after Christmas it’s going to be the Serbian and Lithuanian National Championships, Turkey and Bosnia, then Lebanon if there’s enough entries and Armenia if not. Then back to Serbia and finishing off in Iceland. Iran got canceled but may be rescheduled...

Next Austrian race will be Villach on the 28th (and that's classic technique which I doubt he prefers). Pretty questionable decision to be in Central Europe, I expected Project Bogota to relocate to North America. :dunno:

 

415 is enough for him, but I'm sure he won't achieve that in Central Europe...

Lebanon is the answer!

Cool! Lebanon seems to be a popular cross-country destination these days. :d Suddenly there is a whole bunch of Lebanese skiers competing all over Europe and they will host their first ever XC event. Hopefully Lebanon will be rewarded for this by qualifying for the Olympics themselves. :)

It’ll be a rush. But yeah :p She’s really good at endurance. She’s done 3 races in 4 days all with similar results. Thing is she just needs better technique to be faster. Also we are limited to freestyle (skating) races, classic cant be done yet.

We are hoping with Lebanon she can beat the Lebanese ladies and get 140.80 points!

Yeah, I concluded that by looking at her results. She's stealing the Montenegrins' trademark. :p

 

Well, she'll get her frequent flyer miles, that's for sure. :d

Something's wrong with these results... :p

If this was a real winning time then :TGA Taufatofua's 19th place would give him 53640.58 FIS points. :lol:

Quick, somebody calculate how fast Damjanovski is to finish 10000 km in 20 seconds.

I'm betting on him to ski to the Formula One world title in 2018 :champion:

Milano Cortina 2026 will be their fifth Olympic Games.    * The following are athlete roster adjustments that occurred after their respective sport’s team announcement took place. 
    • https://olympic.ca/press/207-athletes-to-represent-team-canada-at-the-milano-cortina-2026-olympic-winter-games/   Official Canadian press release. 207 athletes as @Topicmaster1010mmentioned earlier.    
    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
    • They can also just count DNSs to handle this specific situation.
    • I suspect IBSF will make the point system equal in the future regardless on the number of competitors.   My fear is that they will make the awarded points lower, like only 90 points to the winner to balance it out.
    • Olivia Asselin (freestyle skiing)   She was at the X Games competing this week. Another medal hope out the drain, she was in the form of her life 
    • You'd have to ask her simpatic boyfriend from the USA about that, who is often seen at competitions with her participation
    • I think Ro is on a lot of marketing stuff, so I don't imagine USABS would be all that keen on her losing the spot. Perhaps that accounts for their deafening silence.
