Russian :RUS /ex-Korean :KOR  short track speed skating legend Viktor Ahn retires second time due to long-term knee injury. He retired in 2018 and return in 2019 attempting to persist until 2022 Olympics. Sadly he chose to retire again due to the injury and age.

What the hell happened? This reaks of internal problems. Poland winter sports are fricken dismal when it comes to management right now.

Wow, I knew Nordic combined has very tiny depth, but a team with two athletes I've never in my life heard of (and yes, I watch all the World Cups and always check results of Continental Cups) finishing 6th at the world championships says quite something for me :d 

 

Not good of course when 75% of the main team leaves.

 

Edit: wait, Marusarz was not in that team, Pawel Slowiok was and at least he sounds sort of familiar :p 

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!
