Very bad idea this cup in winter , rain+very cold +time 20:00 

For today, I'd take: Vittozzi, Wierer, Passler, Carrara (she runs well, which is important), and someone from the 2: Comola/Auchentaller. If Auchentaller could improve her form even a little, I'd go for her more, as she comes from the Antreselva region and knows the slopes well. Comola is a safety option for the relay, but unfortunately, her skiing will never reach the level of the top 30-40.

Yesterday he finished 15th and was slow timong in cross country, so it was hard to praise him. He still miss of stability, although he very like route in  Anterselva, so I'm still hope on his dominance there. Hopefully. Now, there isn`t a some monsters,  as Fourcade, or J. Boe, or Bjoerndalen, etc, and many people have a chance to win gold.

I am not religious so I don't celebrate Xmas but I will share a few songs that are from Guatemalan singers, because 'tis the Season!

The IBU updated their time frame for which results count towards the wild card olympic spots, and it looks like Dolidovich has moved into a qualifying position. Looking more and more likely like there will be a refugee olympic team for the first time at the Winter games.

Wright  with 2 misses, ends up 7th, only 44 secs behind.  Hopefully he can shoot a little cleaner in the future.  Good work!   Got post 2 updated with all the results from the weekend.

Again with a medal for Vonn  .  She seems to be the real deal still.  No worse than 4th this year.
