Maren Skjøld won Olympic bronze :yikes:

 

Mind = blown 

 

Dude, your memory must be like a memory of a fish :p How you can not remember medalists from the last Olympics ??? It happened basically only a couple of months ago, seriously I can easily name you all medalists without too much problems

 

well, it also helps that I rewatched all events last year :d

If you rewatched everything a few months ago it might feel like it happened a few months ago, for me it feels like it happened 100 World Cups ago :p

 

And it was the team event, I'm 100% sure I watched it but also pretty sure I didn't feel very involved in looking at all individual athletes in the teams :d

 

Man I'd be surprised if I can name 5 gold medal winners in the correct events :lol: Definitely not because of a lack of interest or something, if it was I wouldn't have shifted my entire life to Korean time for two weeks, it's just a matter of watching way too many events and races every winter so it all gets a little confusing what happened where :d

:CAN Christilot Boylen retires at 73. Six times Olympian ('64, '68, '72, '76, '84, '92). Rather unfortunate for her that the only (non-boycotted) Olympics she missed in that period were the ones where Canada took a medal in team dressage.

 

While not anymore on the championship teams, she still competed internationally in recent years. Her last competition was right before the lockdown, in mid-March. She was born in Jakarta (then Djakarta).

 

Hiroshi Hoketsu is now (presumably) the only active athlete who is attempting to compete at both Tokyo 1964 and Tokyo 2020...

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
