Our serbian friends, at least the ones from here, are probably: "yeah, yeah, another trophy but go win the gold medal later ok"

2.35m for Tamberi! Vamoosssss!

It’s not so much that Norway are dominant, it’s that Russia & Germany are average now.

Easy gold for Kryzl in the new, urban event of 13 seconds slalom.

Apparently it was the who pushed the organizers for the top 15 rule to be applied today. Well done you will maybe have Daniel Yule in the 2nd round

We share the victory today @hckošice

Petra is already in Slovakia with her medals. It s pretty cool to have a own plane

According that guy those people passed the security and burst into court as since few days in Chile are protests as policeman shot a local street juggler. In addition those people (fans of Club Alianza Bellavista) are protesting in different parts of the city as a construction company wants to close down the local soccer field and put there a housing estate instead.

Looks like no one has posted this one yet: Women's 400m: Lieke Klaver (51,21) At the National Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, feb. 21, 2021.

Word of today at the world championships track is that the downhills are only getting more and more dangerous and difficult. According to the veteran in the Brazilian team, the snow is now basically ankle deep in some of the curves. It's going to be an interesting challenge...(sadly not on TV, but only on the Eurosport Player apparently, due to the UAE Tour being on Eurosport 1 and - which is just unbelievable - a replay of an Australian Open semi being on Eurosport 2 Luckily I have the Player, but my family members who'd like to watch don't...).

The results of the last World Cup are indeed distorted. Mainly due to the lack of Miho Takagi , Graeme Fish and Zhongyan Ning . Below I indicate per distance which changes I expect. Women: 500 - We missed Nao Kodaira , but the question is how good she still is. She seems to have passed her peak. Your prediction based on the WCH seems realistic. 1000 - We missed Miho Takagi , she is the big favourite in the medium distances. She will fight with Bowe en Leerdam for the gold. 1500 - We missed Miho Takagi , pretty sure she will win this. Wiklund was a very unexpected winner. Next year I expect Bowe , Wüst and Golubeva for the silver and bronze medal. 3000 - We missed Miho Takagi and Ayano Sato . Still I think the favourites for the medals are De Jong , Schouten , Wiklund , Voronina and Sablikoba . 5000 - We missed no one. Big fight next year between Schouten , Sablikova , Weidemann , Wiklund and Voronina . Reigning Olympic champion Esmee Visser may come back next year. Pursuit: Japan will win the gold. 100% sure. Men: 500 - We missed Tatsuya Shinhama , many other Japanese sprinters and Tingyu Gao . They can change the podium, although Russia remains a favorite. 1000 - We missed Zhongyan Ning , who will win a medal in front of his home crowd. Again the Russians are favorite, although I'm not pretty sure if Kulizhnikov may start in connection with his doping history. 1500 - We missed Zhongyan Ning , no way the Dutch will get a clean sweep. Anyway, Nuis and Krol remain the other favorites. 5000 - We missed Graeme Fish . Normally he fights with Van der Poel and Roest for the gold. 10000 - We missed Graeme Fish and TJ Flowers , will be exciting to see them compete with Van der Poel . Pursuit: Japan becomes better and better, I expect a close battle with Norway, Netherlands, Canada and Russia. Mass start: unpredictable!

I like this sport, really fun at the recent Winter universiade, but the fun was not only from watching it, but also with following the GPS of athletes. Hope there will be some way to check spoiler free replays with GPS included. I'll probably be working during live races. Ski Orienteering World Championship starts tomorrow with first races on Wednesday.

As per Olympic alternate rules, they do not get a medal or get included in the team roster, unless they get subbed in at some point. Once subbed in, they can no longer go back to their alternate status, I believe.

Fak & Eder in Vittozzi mode

+ 11 vaterpolo čestitke dečkima Anamari Kožul otvorila sezonu sa 67.40 što je trenutačno 12 rezultat u svijetu,te sigurni pomak na rankingu

the most important is the Olympic qualification? no?

This sport doesn't get the same media attention as other sports, but it probably still would have been the most disastrous and embarrasing result in Croatian sports history (embarrassing it still is). In two games we didn't manage to beat Russia, a team that drew with Romania, barely won against France and lost quite clearly against Greece.

This post aged well

Updated and Completed February 21st, 2021

more like the rganizers blew it, or at least the race director to be precise

Top 6 for Rodes is still a great result

Solevaag is Lisa Hauser of alpine skiing. Years of borderline Top 10 results and suddenly finds a break-out season during the COVID pandemic At least no another gold for Austria.

This is all set for Vinatzer gold, mark my words

"Chasing first slalom WSC medal" for Kristoffersen. So was Brazilian Michel Macedo, but yeah.

Zane Weir is Italian, almost, this is what our federation say

Congrats for our Serbian friends they haven't celebrated a GS win just for a year Congrats

2-0 for Novak he's simply unbeatable in Australia

Benjamin Ritchie takes the pole position.

Vidovic Gold, Popov Silver, Marchant Bronze

Yeah, let's be fair...I mean, a few in the medals, sure, but really no gold has gone to anyone that surprising. Faivre might not have been the favourite, but he's far from some random winner of course.

Vijay n Jasleen got 120 points and rest 3 got 10 ranking points for their efforts in Grand Prix in Judo ranking. Jasleen has strong chances of qualifying to Olympics.

in Oberstdorf, they should hire the Cortina snow crew... despite those temperatures, they've been able to keep the tracks working perfectly (and yesterday's top time in the 2nd run by Liensberger and today's Vinatzer's 2nd time in the 1st run with no.17 are there to show that, before someone is going to say something)...

Ryding going for a huge time, but DNF... 4 DNF in a row for Bibs 11, 12, 13 & 14

All those dumb skiers trying to be the fastest Aim for position 15 guys.

Oh well, Oberstdorf 2021 starting next week dreams of these cold temperatures, they're going for 15+ and the snow is already one big swamp

so at the end they managed to finish the game, even if they had to wait until the night came to save them from the embarassement

Due to the warm weather in the men’s slalom tomorrow, in the second run they will start from Place 15 to 1, and after it ,place 16-60 will start.

What do you know about her? Eleni is a Greek name

Downhills are going to be....interesting. Due to the weather, the snow is very soft and so the skis go deep into the snow. Especially the downhills, which are mostly in the sunny part and are already challenging by itself, are going to be a challenge because of this.

Oberstdorf looking good

The day Holdener wins a slalom is the day the Earth is destroyed by an asteroid strike before the medal ceremony.

A complete list of all qualification events coming up in next few weeks and months. Keep me updated on any date changes, cancelations etc. (if there will be any

Copernicus Cup, Toruń, Feb. 17, 2021 Men's High Jump: Gianmarco Tamberi (2.34m) Andriy Protsenko (2.34m) Women's Triple Jump: Viyaleta Skvartsova (14.39m) https://worldathletics.org/competition/calendar-results/results/7147570

Better chances then! ???

I think it’s fair to say Ski Orienteering was a hit at 2019 Winter Universaide. The sport got added to the 2021 Winter Universaide after the Games, and now it’s been made a compulsory sport by the FISU starting at the 2027 Winter Universaide. Source: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1101285/ski-orienteering-fisu-2027-university Interestingly, the IOC rejected its inclusion in the Winter Olympic program back in 2006 (along with Ski Mountaineering and Winter Triathlon). I think it might be time for the IOC to consider SkiO and SkiMo for inclusion once more...
