I think that with our unfathomable skills, we would definitely need to find a different, even more desperate country.

On the other hand, if you put on a pair of skis and get yourself a rifle, the IBU cup doors are open for The Netherlands and you don't even need to change your nationality. Now if I moved to The Netherlands and we also grabbed @dezbee2008 and @Bohemia , wholla, we have ourselves a mixed relay for the 2022 Olympics. :NED:NED:NED

Brazilian coach wants to teach me how to ski next winter, I already had several times of dry firing with an official biathlon rifle used for IBU competitions so I know how that works....I'm ready to go!

I've shot from a rifle once, but never in my life had I ever been on skis. Heck, if 2022 doesn't work out, we can always try Curling for Africa. There has been more than several occasions in which I held a broom :p

Well, I'm not going to stop watching my favourite sport simply because some random guy from Germany claims that Kuzmina is doped. :rolleyes:

I never asked you to ...

If you believe that she is clean, there is no reason for you to stop watching this sport. If you dont believe it, it should be very hard for you to see her stealing medals again and again and if not, you clearly have become insensitive to injustice, which would be very sad.

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

Last warning.

One more post with unfounded accusation (meaning without any single proof) and I will immediately delete the post. I had a lot of patience until now, peoples may have their opinions, also peoples do not have to love the athlete, and can think whatever they want I´m okay with that, but this is starting to be a bit too much over the line.

 

As far as I know all medalists samples from Vancouver and Sochi were tested and retested, including Kuzmina´s samples, the result was always negative, so she did not steal anything. point.

 

 

I hope that this wont be your decision, because you are clearly more than biased, so this decision should not be up to you.

 

Edit: Just because a sample turns up negative, doesnt mean shit, how often did Armstrong's samples turn out negative? If you are even remotely smart, you will never have a detectable amount of PED's in your blood during a competition. If you are smart, you take a long break after the olympics, where no one controls you and then you suddenly turn up dominating everyone else (as a 40 year old). If you do that again and again, then people might begin to see a pattern ... or not.

Thank you! We are so proud of you! :cry:" after every race she wins, so how exactly is this less annoying?

 

Once again, I have absolutely no problem with the fact if you (or any other user) like her (or any other athlete) or not, you are free to have your opinions, there nothing wrong with that,  I also respect that you personally may like (probably) some athletes that I don´t like myself for example, or hate some athletes which in opposite I like, really, trust me, it´s absolutely no problem for me at all. I was just pointing the accusations and some - how to say - a bit strong words like "cheater" or " she stole enough medals so far", since there not a single proof about that, ofc everything can happen and I may be wrong , but for now, she is still considered as clean, and all the medals she won are considered as legitimate and rightfull as well, she never had any doping violation problem or even any suspicion, I think we can agree about that.

 

So I just ask you to respect that, and (let say) until nothing else happens, just stop using these unfounded accusation.

Woah, that's some super fast shooting by Tomas Kaukėnas. Got like 5 seconds off Tarjei Boe just from his range time and the time itself is very competitive for points, if he does not miss of course.

An additional fine of $100,000 was imposed for the "improper conduct" of players and technical staff who invaded the VAR review area and obstructed the work of the DR Congo referee Jean-Jacques Ndala. There was also a $15,000 fine after Moroccan supporters used lasers to try and distract Senegalese players during the game. Captain Achraf Hakimi was also banned for two games, with one suspended, and Morocco's Ismael Saibari was banned for three games, both for "unsporting behavior".

    • 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.
