Of course they choose a picture of Bruna from the Engadin horror race ;)

Nah but seriously, congratulations @brunamoura! It was a long hard journey and you really deserve it. Hope the Olympics go safely (and you get some TV time).

After the refusals, :CZE is being offered 6th spot for Male skiers. Not sure whether they will accept it. There are several options for Czech to choose. 

 

1) Ondřej Černý - excellent sprinter with great qualification results but always fails in quarterfinals (but not that good stamina and probably not very suitable for team sprint)

 

2) Tomáš Kalivoda - Can race decent in sprints (already earned points this season) and also in distance races

 

3) Jonáš Bešťák - average distance racer

 

4) Tomáš Lukeš - average distance racer. 

 

As for me, I would choose either Černý or Kalivoda  ...

What I know that they are waiting with the confirmation within some sports as they are expecting reallocation ....... In male CC there are 2 refusals - :DEN and :NZL ... which should give quota to :USA and :CZE ..... I think they were expecting this is gonna come and they will most likely select another racer ..... There are 2 more sports .... as for ski jumping female, :CZE is 1st below the line, expecting to select either Stepanka Ptackova or Anezka Indrackova if the reallocation comes .... and in parallel snowboarding - Zuzana Maderova is 3 below the reallocation line ...... The :CZE team has been hoping for these 3 reallocation as in other FIS discipline we are far to low to recieve any reallocation .....

    • In my opinion, Trump is a very difficult opponent: he has hard electorate, not voters and if he does something wrong, his electorate forgives him. Secondly, he is an experienced man with a TV past who is doing great in the campaign. He is old but his health is good and it`s hard to beat someone like that. In 2020, Biden won mainly because of Covid and Trump's terrible decisions (Biden also won not by that much then). In my opinion, if the Republicans had put up a polite and well-mannered politician like Mitt Romney, Harris would have had a much easier time winning against him. If Trump were weak, he wouldn`t be allowed to run again after his defeat in 2020.
    • Who will be the  charitable soul with desire to swap with me?   By the way: is tomorrow or in Sunday?
