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!

    • In terms of the first table, there were 2 clubs missing that are/could be apart of the Professional/Semi Professional English League system.    The first are the Wigan Warriors (club logo above), they play in Super League (1st Division) and are the defending back to back Super League champions. Not quite sure how I forgot to add them, but somehow I did.    The second are the Bedford Tigers (club logo above). They originally weren't set to join the system from non league but there are strong rumours that they are now set to join League 1 (3rd Division), replacing the aforementioned Cornwall.

A big thanks to @Belle and @Henry_Leon for helping out. The provisional schedule will be up in due course as well as the results of the team comp draw.   
    • And final shot of three   D2 - E3 F1  - F4 G1 - D1      
    • And the last 3 as well to finish all the draw.
