The next Colombian superkid, Ivan Sosa (20 years old), wins the Vuelta a Burgos, his first .HC win. In doing so, he beat the already old previous Colombian superkid, MA Lopez :d

The ridiculously talented American Adrian Costa (for example 2nd in the Tour of Utah when he was 18) retired earlier this year, due to all kinds of problems (presumably mentally). Now he has lost a big part of his leg in a climbing accident :(

Toupalik hanging on as last surviving member of the lead group, Van der Poel finishing right behind him by dominating the bunch sprint (uphill) but not fast enough to actually catch his teammate, perfect work :d

Meanwhile it's sad to read how incredibly deep Jan Ullrich has been sinking. Alcohol, drugs, more alcohol, a divorce, not seeing his children anymore, more alcohol, drugs, more alcohol, violence...he has completely lost touch with reality. According to a friend, he shoots at his TV with an air rifle when watching an action movie, because he thinks he is part of the action, resulting in him buying 2-3 new TV's per week. He was arrested after a fight with his neighbour recently and more recently he was accused of abusing a prostitute and physically assaulting her. 

 

Apparently he's going for forced rehab now or something like that, but so far he's well on his way to killing himself quickly.

    • So, the gap between Shiffrin and Aicher in the overall WC standings is now 219 points.   The races left are: - DH x 3 - SG x 2 - GS x 2 - SL x 2   Could Aicher have a glimmer of a chance?    She'd obviously need to avoid DNFs, which have been an issue this year, but she could potentially lead the table after next week's races in Val di Fassa, provided there are no cancellations (the weather forecast is very good at the moment).  
    • Ricarda Haaser suffered a broken tibia in a DH crash on Saturday.
    • Last night, I had the privilege to see my first live curling matches.  The USA National Championships were just 1.5 hours away from where I live (not bad in a country the size of ours, and even more surprising since I live in an area where it rarely snows).  I got to visit the 'page final' (i.e. first playoff round), the highlight of which for me was Team Shuster vs. Team Stopera.  Team Stopera ended up winning by 1 point, but Shuster will be able to play one final match this morning to see if they can make it to the finals this afternoon (the winner of which will qualify to Worlds).  None of the current Olympians were there, having declined their spot in the tournament.   Got some free swag     These people would yell 'Peel! Peel! Peel' whever someone would peel a stone.   Got to see the measuring instrument in action.   And yes, Matt Hamilton and Colin Hufman had sleeveless jerseys on.
