    • New season streams are posted for the weekend if you need to get your schedule organised.     Remember, it's a double bill from Pyeongchang  on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, then a single race from  next weekend. No bobsleigh yet, so I guess they will get double races with no skeleton later in the season.      There were two Asian Cup races on the Pyeongchang track last weekend, and another scheduled for tomorrow, so no excuses for poor performance, everybody should be used to it by now.     IBSF Bobsleigh & Skeleton - YouTube
    • races also on Saturday and Sunday.  These are sometimes FTA, other times you will need your VPN.   Skidskytte: Idre | SVT Play
    • So here we are....pre-season races ready to go.  Always important for the big teams to get some last minute promotions for the first trio of pre-Christmas World Cup races, or even for club skiers to get some kind of promotion into a professional training group.      races on Saturday and Sunday morning.  Usually these are globally free to air live, although you sometimes have to wander round a bit to find the right link.   Sport - NRK TV
    • Anyway, for those who were following this discussion a few weeks ago,  has an excellent chance of first-ever World Cup podiums, possibly even wins, this weekend.  Roche Silveira won and was second in two full-scale rehearsal races last weekend, and has two chances in Pyeonchang on Saturday and Sunday. Then Pinheiro Braathen has another chance in the Levi slalom on Sunday.

    • this week it's all about Hockey (NHL, CHL and domestic leagues all around Europe) and Baseball (Premier 12)   with a bit of Winter sports and Swimming (Italian Short Course Winter Nationals) on the weekend
    • Well. I'm sure they'll both find things to do that'll make themselves richer, though from what I understand it's more of advising role than an actual cabinet position.    Had hoped that Ramaswamy ended up in the senate. Would certainly make it a more interesting target for the special election.
