Marie 4th :clap: I didn't expect that, she seemed really tired this season.

Congrats! I really like how positive you are, it was so close to a medal, but i understand it, given her season so far + the fact that Fourcade will probably win 15-20 golds here.

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

I said I was joking.

Ok, sorry, so "I jk" means i joke or i am joking?

Edit: But good to know that you agree that Kuzmina winning a medal would have been disgusting. #karma :mumble:

Nastya said that she is very happy with her skiing time (Absolutely the fastest one) and satisfied with her shape, but was unlucky in the prone shooting receiving a huge face wind immediately when she started shooting. she is a bit sad, she worked a lot for this day in order to became the first ever biathlete to win 3 times in a row the sprint, but well...that´s sport, one day you lose next time you maybe win..

and somehow she feel also now a bit relaxed when all that pressure is over, she can refocus now herself for the next races, she know her skiing is very good, so just need a bit of luck on the range and who know what can happen.

 

Paulína was just amazing today, shame she had flu last days, the consequences were clearly visible in the last lap..but still 1 place behind top 10 is great and still some magic in the pursuit is possible.

 

Other two..disaster in the range Ivona 2+3 and Poliaková 1+4 far far away even from the pursuit.

 

 

and Congrats :CZE Verča for the beautiful medal, hoped for the gold after it was certain that Nastya will be out of medals, but the bronze is nice too :cheer:

    • so, the Swiss reigning champions, who saved their ass in the last match of the RS, now are almost safe in the semis once again...   very impressive performance also by RB Salzburg, I didn't expect them to make such a good run, even if the 2nd leg match won't be easy at all and they're all but safe in the final four
    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part I) Tuesday 03.12.2024 - Results   Sparta Prague (CZE) - Växjö Lakers (SWE)  1-2 (0-0, 1-1, 0-1) Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) - Färjestad Karlstad (SWE)  3-1 (1-1, 2-0, 0-0) Genève-Servette (SUI) - Pinguins Bremerhaven (GER)  4-0 (2-0, 1-0, 1-0)
    • I guess 65, 79, 88, 110, 110+ will be the Olympic classes for 2028 (I don't think IOC would allow them to increase the number of gold medals available at the Games yet...most likely they want to to stay with the current lineup and see how it goes in the next Olympic cycle in terms of doping scandals before taking any decision)  or maybe they will keep those weights for the "regular activity" and later on they will set 5 different weight classes only good for Olympic purposes, with dedicated tournaments when it's time for the OQ (like Taekwondo, more or less)  but it's just my personal speculation, I have no infos from the inside 
    • Today the funniest tournament of the season, the Shoot Out, will starts
    • Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.
    • if they limit the number of qualified athletes to 8 per category that will not exceed the allocated quota (marginally). I know 8 athletes only is a bit harsh but will be more competitive.  
    • Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).   Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.   Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.   In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha).    For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament. 
    • big decision by IWF   new weight categories, 8 for men and 8 for women from June 2025   Men 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg Women 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg   and this means all World records will be erased AGAIN !    https://iwf.sport/2024/12/03/iwf-executive-board-meeting-in-manama-brn-december-2-3-main-decisions/   I think that was a good decision, 10 weights was too much. but erasing the current World Records was the down side of this decision.   but does this mean they have some agreements with IOC to have all these weights at the Olympics ? that looks unlikely though  but looking at the numbers and the gap between weights none of them look like a "non-Olympic weight" at least that's what IWF thinks.
