Huh, that's odd that there's such a difference between those lists.

 

I see Blashko has changed nationality, too bad.

Too good. For us. + her coach is not a stranger for our team Also there was some bitching inside Belarusian team so I'm happy that they joined us after all. It will stir some competition inside our own team after the Olympics.

Jesus, I know that Sjusjoen is usually a very tough race and many teams participate in it, but wow, the field is world class this year

Also, noticed one of the Claude brothers starting for Belgium

Yes, he decided to switch a long time ago and made his debut for Belgium at the summer worlds this year after not competing at all in the previous season.

Is it giving up, because the French team is very strong?

He sees it as a way to easily make the Olympics and other competitions like that?

Or do the Claude family have at least some Belgian blood?

I think it's the same kind of move Rösch did: being realistic in seeing that the competition in your own country is just too strong and move to another country.

And I'm devastated to hear Bruna saw Laura Dahlmeier  during today's training in Sjusjoen but since she lost her phone this week (just two days after arriving in Europe, crap), she couldn't take a picture with Laura for me

But she can still beg Laura not to end her career after the Olympics.
