I understand it so:

- No Russian/Belarus Athletes in Otepää anyway 

- Start for them under neutral flag in Kontiolahti and Oslo (so far), if the IBU invites them 

Over in the skating thread they’re saying that the Norwegians are not letting Russians enter the country, so I imagine it’s the Russian Cup for the rest of the season.

Apparently the Italians are not the only team on the women's side with lots of challenges between their top starts.  It appears that Hannah Sola and Dzinara Alimbekava are not on good terms at all.  S

Zaisteva disqualified almost 8 years later and when the world cup rank 2013-14 is calculated again, Makarainen might lose her overall titel to Berger

This is all going to end up at CAS.

It’s not a sporting matter but a political decision. They’re probably not letting any Russian passports in.

CAS have gotten involved in these decisions before. Depends on how the contracts for the tournaments have been drawn up. The Olympics has clauses preventing countries banning entry on nationality grounds. There is also the other issue that Russia could argue at CAS that  ranking points are being denied on nationality grounds. It could get very messy if they push it and we all know Russia loves going to CAS.

Looks like there will be no Russians in Kontiolahti or Oslo:

It’s a bit confusing but it sounds like CAS action is set to happen.

Hey, I'm here for the post-Olympic sauce.

 

It is quite common that there are a lot of retirements after Olympic years, so I was wondering perhaps anybody has heard anything from their teams?

 

Wikipedia says Weger, Puskarčikova and Dunklee as of now.

 

I think Lithuania could have some possible retirements as well after this tough year.

Wierer, most likely...

 

she said she is going to take her decision during the Summer break, but I think in her heart she's already made her choice...and I fear it's not the one all of her fans would like to know...

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
