Such an awesome result :bowdown::bowdown:

Especially knowing that not a single Swedish girl was brought in for Sochi Olympics, it's so amazing for them, because now the door won't be closed.

Well done France :yes Germany's streak finally over.

 

Our team did pretty well...that until the last 2 shots in standing shooting at 3rd leg. But this was still the best showing in recent years. Need Talihärm to return and replace Lehtla and with a good shooting they can even see the finish line next time :d

Hm, I'd argue that Lethla is a safer pick for the relay than Gaim. Both Lethla and Gaim lose a lot of time on the snow, but it seems that Lethla is a pretty reliable shot for relays.

Lehtla has more experience but she is very slow on skis, even compared to Gaim. Gaim also is much faster in range. A few seasons ago Lehtla was very reliable and quite always did her job well but last seasons she has gotten worse and worse and this season all her starts have been abysmal. Gaim at least has showed some promise at IBU races.

You know, I've always felt that your Lethla and our Rasimovičiūtė were pretty much peaking at the same time, having seasons with similar success and all in all being pretty equal rivals for many years. It's pretty sad to see both of their results going down so drastically :(

I know.  A few years ago, I don't remember if it was Kadri or Eveli Saue, was co commentating a women's race and also talked about a friendly rivaly with Rasimovičiūtė because of similar results :)

      Skeleton Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.

      Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner

      I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?

      I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Opening Ceremony Flag Bearers

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
