Talihärm was better last year, easily the best of our girls, now she needs to catch up, but she still did her job. Gaim is sadly not even close to the rest of the team, even without the penalty loops I don't think we had finished higher than maybe 8th. This was Estonia's women's relay's first top 10 since 1993! 26 years! (8 out of 9 teams with 12 minutes loss lol) This clearly is the actual best ever really. I remember when our Gabrielė Leščinskaitė was a rival for Tomingas and they went back and forth on who is better. Yet it's Tomingas scoring points and Leščinskaitė finishing in 80-90th places in the world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,557 Posted February 10, 2019 #896 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm so sick of the ton of (mostly Russian) people spurting their bullcrap on Twitter about how we should never again have these 'rotten overseas stages' because there's some cold trouble now. Or the even worse reason I've seen: it's not convenient for European fans because of timezones Like you're even a real fan if you don't watch at 20:00 because you have to drink with your friends or whatever 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!

hckošice 13,261 Posted February 10, 2019 Author #899 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Our team is actually so pissed off According to this https://www.biatlon-info.sk/spravodajstvo/svetovy-pohar/1011-v-canmore-sa-uz-zrejme-pretekat-nebude-zrusili-aj-nedelnajsie-sprinty people are complaining that IBU send athletes few weeks before the WCH to a far far away Arctic resort with zero fans or local interest, or media attention, even the only womens individual race was broadcasted in a non-european friendly time. Our mens and Paulína are now returning back home, Paja travelled across half of the globe to compete in one shortened individual ..it must be definitely fun to be around her now Nastya will stay in North America and will compete in Soldier Hollow as our sole representative heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
