And one of the two accusers is Justine Braisaz-Bouchet (this is why JBB never reacted to JS incredible season last year...).

 

It will be a very strange 2023-2024 season in the French women's team. 😫

Stealing each others' money makes a change from stealing each others boyfriends.  :p

Apparently this happened last August but the French federation swept it under the rug yet Braisaz filed a criminal complaint. So now the cat is out of the bag. I guess it's known why Simon is training alone :p

One article said it allegedly happened during the Blink Festival.

  • 2 weeks later...

the lil sister said STOP ! enough is enough !

 

 

 

 

After Paja´s (rumored-very) unlikely return to the sport after this season break due pregnancy, this is the latest and last right-handed-direct K.O. and funeral farewell to slovak biathlon.

 

so very likely already in Cortina :SVK biathlon participation streak will end

 

 

but, yeah, In other hand, less money to biathlon, more money to hockey :hockey:

Just another case of the French women and their spectacular team spirit :d 

Well, relay and nations cup results last year were pretty good for such a weak team spirit squad. 

I don't see any particular reason to consider it worse than in any other team.

Probably so. Once a team gets a reputation as a drama team, everyone looks for drama.  Certainly lots of mysterious happenings in the :GER ladies, for example.

Two pieces of biathlon news related to Russia.

 

Russia is blocking the transfer of Daria Virolainen to the Finnish team.  She has a Finnish passport, but the 34 year old's transfer has been stymied by the RBU.

 

The other one is that the Uzbekistan Biathlon team has requested from the IBU the ability to participate in the Summer Continental Cup hosted by the RBU and Belarus.   This is interesting because the decision by the IBU could signal a softening to the hard stance they have taken on Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine.

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
    • If you have time would love to see a sport by sport overview of the changes/new sports
    • Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.
    • How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.

    • FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
    • I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures
    • claimed their 3rd European title after beating 34-27  First title since 2012  got the bronze after beating   34-33   is the best team in the world by far 👏👏👏
