Truly indeed a great news for us. Sadly now the question is who next to uphold the winter games flag....Since none others present....

A delegation can compete and join in the athlete parade with only one athlete.

In 2014 India doesn't join in the parade becouse they was suspended by the CIO (like Kuwait in Rio). Lucky the suspension was over when India start to compete ;)

He was a celebrated with recognizable achievements. We have few sledgers who participate in Olympics but they are like lucky picks and not qualified. My problem is we would miss someone we can be proud of of their achievements.

Tokyo - 2020

Go India Go

Italy isn't qualified in the team relay for this.. so, no, it isn't accurate :p

 

They don’t list Italy because they don’t have a world cup ranking in the relay. I’m not actually sure if that matters since Italy has sleeds in all events (that and I am pretty confident the Italians will finish at least one relay).

what a farce this week's races are gonna be! :facepalm::wall:

c'mon, man! after 10 sleds the track has already gone...even the worst alpine skiing slopes in the history didn't get such an unfair race...

 

as I wrote last week, it's impossible to stage a WC race in southern/central Europe before Christmas (and beyond the end of January)...

Please throw away this joke of track from WC calendar. :facepalm:

 

it's not the track itself (still, I don't like it at all in general...but this is just personal taste)...it's the weather condition that destroys the competition...

Still, it has provided horrid weather conditions for the 3rd straight season (I don't remember beyond that). I'm pretty sure this one would be bad even in January (as if we need more German tracks in January....).

let's say that this is not the luckiest place on earth (and not even in Germany) for what concerns the weather conditions...

and yes, also in the past Winterberg has always had some of the craziest results ever...

it's the place...

 

p.s. and when you have such indecent conditions, Felix Loch always goes a lot better than his direct rivals...:facepalm:

it looks he likes this unfair track conditions...

    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season. 
    • Massive win indeed, a 80+ kilometer solo in the world championships, damn  (I mean, Sivakov jumped with him to try and help him of course, but couldn't do anything but sit in his wheel until he got dropped )
    • If even Erdogan calls you a psychopath, you're probably been....bad.    
    • Meanwhile:         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_al-Assad
    • Sure, some things are simply historical events retold with a kind of fantasy layer over it, to make it more appealing to read and/or - most importantly - to put some lessons into it, which is fine (and which is the main way to read most religious texts, as 'lessons' and messages by the writers instead of actual historical facts). But let's not pretend that things like Moses splitting the sea or the entire exodus have a significant historical basis, based on actual evidence. Anyway, like I said: I'm well aware people who believe the religious book of their choosing is a historical book aren't going to ever believe otherwise, I grew up in a town full of similiarly minded people  
    • Have you ever been to Israel? Because you can find historical evidence of many of the "stories"   And btw we are talking about 3000 years before us    
    • What a win, and what a year for this guy!
