Live action, but the so often put those horrible (and very long!) Eurosport player videos. 3 hours ago, heywoodu said: Or, and I am not kidding, "Top 5 Naomi Osaka shots US Open final 2018" that takes 2-3 minutes. I think i have the answer for these breaks. Our commentators have said about them, that since Eurosport broadcasts across multiple countries, there is a variation in the ad time. Let's say in one ad break the UK have bought 5 minutes of ads, but Bulgaria only 2 minutes. In the 3 minute difference, such highlights would be shown in Bulgaria to compensate the difference.

Well yeah, but why not just go back to the sports?

Wumo 2,795 Posted December 11, 2018 #64 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) According to NRK, Petter Northug will tomorrow at a press meeting at 12:00 in Trondheim say that he will no longer try to come back to the World Cup, and he will likely not be skiing at top cross-country level anymore.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted December 12, 2018 #69 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If he did it two years earlier it would at least have been a bit of a worthy end to a career like his... This is kinda the XC equivalent of fantastic footballers who end up playing in some crappy Qatari league and then announce their retirement and everyone goes like "oh I thought he retired 5 years ago" Kirkpatrick 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
