In fact, they're almost looking non-existing, it's just a brownish mess of what maybe once was snow There is no snow in this part of Europe so what did you expect? We had more rain than snow this 'winter' in Poland so I suppose Czech Republic is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware of that, but still it's an even more sorry sight than I had slightly hoped for (and I kind of had the Jizerska Padesatka landscape still in my mind, which was beautiful, but that's already a while back and probably in a different part of the country anyway ). 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!

Grassmarket 2,757 Posted March 2, 2020 #623 Share Posted March 2, 2020 As long as there is some snow somewhere in the country they can build new tracks, as they did in Minsk last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 339 Posted March 2, 2020 #624 Share Posted March 2, 2020 No snow, no crowd ... this is going to be a really odd week to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemia 1,259 Posted March 2, 2020 #625 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Is this the first time that there is so little snow in the majority of the WC tracks? I haven't seen a lot of seasons in their entirety but this year seems far worse than others, the 2017/2018 season was a completely different story.

hckošice 13,246 Posted March 2, 2020 #626 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The Czech athletes/Staff/federation are not happy at all, Michal Krčmář said this "will be like sex without orgasm" Eva Puskarčíková answered "sex without orgasm and second person" and criticized the government decision as well ahjfcshfghb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember some pretty bad weeks about the early 2000s. Think we were in the same place three weeks in a row once. Was it Pokljuka?

Werloc 3,127 Posted March 2, 2020 #629 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Would the IBU cup athletes have an advantage in Nove Mesto, because they're used to racing with zero spectators? RobtheAggie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of the 2000/01 season was held in Anterselva They hosted three rounds in December 2000 replacing Hochfilzen, Pokljuka AND Osrblie Then in January they hosted their own scheduled round.
