Okay, just got caught up with biathlon. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??????????????? Natalija Kočergina with a PB of 27th place and clean 0+0 shooting, probably in the most underwhelming biathlon season for Lithuanian women in the past 10 years I am utterly shocked and very pleasantly surprised at the same time, especially after the very mediocre start in the mixed relay. If Natalija can do it, I'll have a bit more faith in our men's team as well now. I am extremely proud of this result

Okay, I'm starting to HATE the ES coverage. 5 skiers in and they go ad break then we listen to some USELESS expert talk... will we get to see anyone other than Top 15 names on the course/range? What is this CRAP???

Polish ES guy kept saying we're racing in Strbske Pleso until the other guy corrected him only after the race has finished

Hard to believe, but this was really the first ever world champion title for Nastya Kuzmina, the only female biathlete to win Olympic golds at 3 consecutive Olympics never won a world championship, she finally did it in her last careers season at 34. Now she has only 1 dream remaining, to fulfill before the end of the season and career a perfect 20/20 shooting she never achieved yet in her long and extremely successfull career. After Petra Vlhová in Are Giant Slalom last month, 2nd Winter (Olympic event) sport World Champion. Bravo Nastya !

There's no anti-Norwegian doping fight in cross country though. They legalised Symbicort as the TRUE magic potion after Norway got their asses spanked in Liberec 2009. All the beef is anti-Russian. In biathlon their issue has been about shooting, if Tandrevold doesn't randomly blow 3-4 misses like Eckhoff & Olsbu then she could dominate like peak Tora Berger. Look at the men's side, once JTB started to hit 9/10 - 19/20 and not 7/10 - 15/20 he's unstoppable. Frode Andresen & Lars Berger would have seriosly eaten into Ole Einar's dominance if only they for once sorted out their shooting.

Potion is working.

Okay, I guess there's no time like the present to announce the Lithuanian song for this competition. LITHUANIA Gebrasy - Acceptance Lyrics: And you might think That I'm a stone that has no feelings But I'm hiding them from you And isn't it obvious? The way I look into your eyes That I wanted my love for you, I do... Every time when I'm feeling vulnerable Step back, step back, don't come any closer It's hard to keep my hands off you I just wanted to say If we played poker you would lose on sight Cause you're one of a kind It's a relation where the ship won't sail Cause you won't be mine I know, it’s not your fault that I’m not content with what you’re giving I visited your house, ignorance is the place you live in And we’re gonna keep it that way And you don’t realise How valuable you are to me And that I wanted my love for you, I do… Every time when I’m feeling vulnerable Step back, step back, don’t come any closer It’s hard to keep my hands off you I just wanted to say If we played poker you would lose on sight Cause you’re one of a kind It’s a relation where the ship won’t sail Cause you won’t be mine I know, it’s not your fault that I’m not content with what you’re giving I visited your house, ignorance is the place you live in And we’re gonna keep it that way Cause you wouldn’t feel the same Okay, it’s not your fault that I’m not content with what you’re giving I visited your house, ignorance is the place you live in And we’re gonna keep it that way, oh ooh And we're gonna keep it that way

SERBIA Željko Joksimović - Menjaj pesmu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGGThqTA4uE Change the song I'm used to the fact that my step goes along with yours I'm used to the fact that our cheeks are burning together days and meridians are shifting, but without us sorrow you too go to hell, she's not worth of my attention I can do better, but I'm concerned with some issues like for example, do you still have anything to love me with I gave you everything I would have done it even before Change the song, rewind the one meant for our dance bring back to me that world more beautiful to remember all past days (Replace everybody) replace everybody, but keep me close we loved each other too much for me to become insignificant one for you But January forgets so easely about December but we can't forget it just like that Isn't that right, my love? Change the song, rewind the one meant for our dance (Change the song) People don't stay in touch, there's no one to bring you up they start fighting, and love disappears days and meridians are shifting but without us I gave you everything I would have done it even before Change the song, rewind the one meant for our dance bring back to me that world more beautiful to remember all past days (Replace everybody) replace everybody, but keep me close we loved each other too much for me to become insignificant one for you But January forgets so easely about December but we can't forget it just like that Isn't that right, my love? But January forgets so easely about December but we can't forget it just like that Isn't that right, my love? Isn't that right, my love?

Kimberley Bos drank her first ever coffee, live, after losing a bet

He studies a ph.d in sport science at a university in Denmark. His Polish wife is a doctor in Denmark so he moved here.

"He's 2,73 seconds behind at the split so he'll have to give it his all to get into those podium positions!" in the alpine skiing. That kind of thing just tickles my nerves wrong.

Yes.

Strade Bianche tomorrow Recon photos look good

I like ex-biathlete Herbert Cool, working for Dutch Eurosport He started as biathlon commentator, then became the 'face' of Eurosport during the Pyeongchang Olympics (hosting a talk show and stuff like that) which he also did very good and now sometimes he also takes over for stuff like cross-country when the main XC commentator is unavailable (for example because he's doing athletics commentary ). Internationally speaking I very much like the Martin Haven/John Morgan bobsleigh and skeleton duo, I find them a delightful and very friendly duo to listen to. I like oldie Tim Singer (FIL/luge) as well, also because he often seems to be doing his best to have some new athletes join him in the commentary booth (like Veronica Ravenna of Argentina/Canada this season).

Sosa, meanwhile, managed to produce this intriguing racing line...

I didn't say it's strange She moved to Germany when she was 1 year old. First she was gymnastic than started to train skeleton.

Start record, track record, fastest in all four heats, sixth world title, Dukurs says 'screw you' to this season

I think aiming at 50% of women quota in some sports is a shame considering the number of men/women athletes playing in those sports both in professional and amateur level. Just like having the same prize money in tennis tournaments and then in joint tournaments trying to fix the schedule in order not to show stadiums are full for men's matches and empty for women's matches

RIP Thai weightlifting fan

BRAZIL Melim is a trio of siblings (Diogo, Gabriela and Rodrigo) formed in 2015. After a successful run at brazilian reality competition show Superstar, they went to achieve aclaim with the songs "Meu Abrigo" and "Ouvi Dizer", from their eponymous first album released in 2018. They're considered to be part of the new MPB (brazilian popular music) wave, which mixes such genres as pop and reggae with the more traditional brazilian songwriting. Melim - Ouvi Dizer English lyrics translation:

Not individual funding, but this should add some points to the biathlon pool though Still, this 27th place and shooting is completely out of nowhere

Thailand is barring its weightlifters from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and all other international competitions, the association overseeing the sport said Friday (Mar 8), after several athletes tested positive for doping.

MALTA HEY NOW by IRA LOSCO Lyrics: Move it like an Alabama rabbit Now hear this I'm a fool I'm a fool Yet you still love me Say what you do What it do With a girl gone bad Don't wanna play Wanna play Might get real ugly And it won't hurt Cross my heart and hope to die Now won't you say, say, say That you love me And I'll come back Chopping up that life Oh won't you say, say, say You still want me You've got to tell me If you want me tonight Hey now, all you got to believe in I gotta leave this town Leave this town behind Hey now, I don't really care What they say now I gotta wreck this town Wreck this town tonight I'm a sinner, I'm a saint And it goes both ways Do you get me Unafraid of the things that You tell me I can't do So won't you say, say, say If you want me You've gotta tell me If you're with me tonight Hey now, all you got to believe in I gotta leave this town Leave this town behind Hey now, I don't really care What they say now I gotta wreck this town Wreck this town tonight Hey won't you get down Now hear this It's gonna get high Gonna get low It's gonna get lonely You gotta get Outta my head Outta my mind Feel like I'm scared of falling Isn't this strange Where do I go Still undecided And it's time to run for cover And you know I'm all that you need Hey now, all you got to believe in Gotta leave this town Leave this town behind Hey now, I don't really care What they say now I gotta wreck this town Wreck this town tonight Hey now, all you got to believe in I gotta leave this town Leave this town behind (ah ha) Hey now, I don't really care What they say now I gotta wreck this town Wreck this town Wreck this town Wreck this town tonight When music is nice You gotta do it twice Hey now, all you got to believe in I gotta leave this town Leave this town behind (ah ha) Hey now, I don't really care What they say now I gotta wreck this town Wreck this town Wreck this tonight Now brothers and sisters you Gotta be cool in the neighborhood You know

Yeah, France could be even bigger losers than Italy at these champs Was it last season that Braisaz said she wants to be the BEST biathlete in the field? She's gone completely off the boil over the last 12 months.

Please no other sports spoilers (at least those from same day). Still have to check giant slalom. Luckily, just saw something from that post, no context.

Looks like a pretty nice day, from Ice Hockey Universiade, passing by Petra Vlhová in GS and now Nastya going to finally fulfill her biggest dream

Nope, the ones coming with later numbers steal it IMO

French hate the start of this World Championships.

Lithuania and Russia earlier had

"Dabble" is putting it mildly...

What do you know?? Perhaps I posted my expectations from 2018 and in 2019 my answer would be completely different and I wouldn't give a chance to Krupeckaitė?

Holy crap that girl is 17, is that a genuinly good skier from the souther hemisphere in the making? Also Brem is 5th. Please, please, please let this be the start of a return to her best.

Yeah, it's a major surprise. Everyone here thought the men will blow up the girls' effort so it's a big shock. I thought we'll finish 15th-16th tbh

Severo Jurado in dressage. Just putting it out there for an outside chance that I turn out to be very smart in about 16 months.

Gebrasy already took part in 2014. Also there was a Russian user entering a song from his band once or twice.

no, Moroccan players dont have any problem to play against this state

Guessing Laghnaoui and Bjaoui are going to fight to try and lose? That's got to be interesting to watch, see who ippons themselves..

Wow, this track looks really poor...it sort of reminds me like the European Youth Olympic Festival in Erzurum, for which it'd be fine, but for a world championships..?

Figure skating commentator must be the most impersonal and indifferent, but also competent sports commentator ever. I like her.

Complete list is here: http://mastkd.com/2019/03/lista-de-clasificados-a-juegos-panamericanos-lima-2019/ 9 Countries that did not qualify, and 9 wild cards available. Each of them should get one.

Nicaragua +2 Chile +5 Venezuela +7 and Brazil +8 are some of the other results. Also Honduras qualified at least one.

Manchester United should say thank you Mourniho at the end of the season He could be the reason of the Red Devil's Metamorphosis in UCL it reminds me of UEFA CL 1998/1999 , a probable Man United - Bayern Final in Spain (Bayern lost two champions league finals in Spain vs Man United in 1999 in Camp Nou and in 2010 vs Inter in Bernabeu )
