There even at IBU Cup level you have to make sure you get a good spot before the start or else there's like two whole lines of people in front of you Two whole lines, it is amazing that a fight does not break out! heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know that the "roar" is very muted even at the best IBU Cup event. Well the Osrblie stage is always sold out Wumo and RobtheAggie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werloc 3,125 Posted November 27, 2019 #25 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Happy to see Hammerschmidt back on the snow Let's hope for good results so she can find her way back into the A team. Also, only four Lithuanians starting tomorrow, that's pretty sad. We are definitely capable to put 4 in the men's race at least, don't know why we didn't.

heywoodu 13,504 Posted November 27, 2019 #26 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Really curious about Hammerschmidt and Slettemark tomorrow Checking the first international start lists of the season under the repeated tunes of this Wumo 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!

RobtheAggie 337 Posted November 28, 2019 #27 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I was looking at the start list for the men's race tomorrow. It turns out that Vinny Fountain, who starts 75th tomorrow, and races for the UK was born in Virginia. I wonder about that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know about him specifically, there are lots of American-based Brits in various sports at the moment. Usually it’s American-born people with one British parent who have been through or are still in the NCAA system and who are eligible for some kind of subsidy or help from the lottery-funded British system.

Monzanator 3,569 Posted November 28, 2019 #29 Share Posted November 28, 2019 @heywoodu Is the little Slettemark eligible for World Cup status? I mean her mother pretty much extended her career beyond limits to keep the nation quota alive? When does it expire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the nation quota, though I'm pretty sure her result at junior worlds makes her eligible for at least one trimester.
