Can someone tell me what are the World cup standings with the worse results taken out? Also are there athletes that will boycott the Russia round?

 

Not sure about the first question, but as for the boycott: I know USA, Canada, Czech Republic and Ukraine won't go there. As far as I know, the major nations will be there though.. 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I've read that also some individual athletes like Samuelsson and Bauer will boycott. Some also said they will be there only because they need to be (because of the WC standings).

Which makes exactly zero difference :d 

 

About Samuelsson, I'll try to ask around because now I'm curious and I can't really find it anywhere.

So I've decided to do some fun research. Since we have so little starters in the world cup tomorrow, I was wondering, perhaps there's someone out there in the start list that would break their World Cup PB just by finishing the race? Well, actually there's a few:

 

Ajlan Rastic from Serbia, previous best placement in World Cup is 120nd in 14/15 season, so he'll break his PB by a HUGE margin tomorrow if he only finishes

Igor Malinovskii from Russia is also breaking his PB tomorrow as his previous best placement was 86th in 16/17 season

Finally, Kosuke Ozaki from Japan is breaking his PB tomorrow as his previous best result was 86th in 16/17 season

 

Some people that also have a good chance is Kim Yonggyu (Korea) with previous best 80th, as well as two Latvians - Patrijuks and Slotins with 77th and 71st

 

And there's another 6 athletes that have never been able to sneak into top 40, but that won't be that easy since most of the top dogs are starting tomorrow. :)

      Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation.

      But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.

      And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

      Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response

      You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.
