So much looking forward to race!!! And... It seems like finding someone to prepare my skis won't be a problem as this time FIS will provide a "neutral support" for small teams with specialized staff preparing our skis 😱😍 *(just heard it from Jaque) Vamos!!! 🚀🚀

Our very own @brunamoura has arrived in Slovenia today, where she'll make her comeback after surviving the car crash on the way to the Olympics a year ago. Bit of a tense morning, because she had to go by a transfer arranged through GetTransfer, again, just like she was more or less forced to do last year due to the circumstances (this time the Brazilian van was full with the rest of the Brazilian athletes and a few non-Brazilians, so there was no space anymore). The reason for that being a tense thing of course being how it went so very wrong last year, so stepping into a hired taxi van was understandably a bit of a....tense moment. Luckily this time, as logic would of course expect, nothing happened and she arrived safely in Slovenia, all good! Next up: try to find someone to wax the ski's these days, light trainings to keep the shape and get the energy level to competition level and then on Wednesday, it's the big moment...the 5k freestyle! Vamos

Over to you @heywoodu

I always knew you are a lucky guy

Because he was booted a few years ago from the US team for being "with no potential for the future". Wonder what those people are thinking now, especially since the US men's team is going to be extinct very soon by the look of things.

I think it was only available on Eurosport. The only winter sport that is broadcasted on national TV outside of the Olympics is figure skating, world and european championships.

I believe (not fully sure) this is the first WC medal for Greece in any winter sport in history!

If I am not wrong GRE has its Eurosport version as well.

Medal for GReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeece

Yaas!!! Medal for Ginnis!!!

Ok ! It´s time, now or never ! Go Greece

This second run is going to be super close. 1 second separating the top 20. Could be one of those races where anyone in the top 30 has a chance at a medal.

By God, i think we are heading for a medal for Greece, a gold medal for Greece

Για την Ελλάδα, ρε γαμώτο!

Yo, dudes! We are snowboarding powerhouse heh!

AJ Ginnis into 2nd place!

I actually thought the Championships were lots of fun, the women's races were really exciting and the relays were good as well. Yes Johannes T. Boe dominated, but his season is on another level.

If I start in the Team Sprint, I may also get 1 or 2 free tickets, so I can give you one for this event. Sadly we get tickets only for the days we are going to compete. But about competing in the Team Sprint, I will decide latest after tomorrow

Israel: “Chilling in the Kibbutz “ by Full trunk and Jimbo j

no, it's not the case...he has dominated the 2021 season and, when not injured, the 2022 season as well... he already collected European and World Indoor titles, outdoor European and Olympic gold medals and he recorded both Indoor and Outdoor European records. I guess he's already done more than many big names among the sprint specialists of the past...comparing him to the Belarussian is an insult. right now he's not in very good shape (still, 6.56 is a clocking that most sprinters in the world can only dream about). adding another European Indoor title or not, it's not going to change anything for him, we'll see what he he's going to do in the outdoor season...

Congratz @OlympicIRL! I hope all your favorite sessions are still available as well!

Final Standing is available here tuniscof Ufilov Pablita Here is the presentation of the three medallists. Congratulation to all three medallists of this prediction contest. @tuniscof with the gold medal, @Ufilov with the silver medal and @Pablita with the bronze medal. With two prediction contests coming to their end this Sunday, next week another winter sport prediction contest will begin with the Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships 2023 Prediction Contest. The deadline for entering the contest before the first event begins is February 23th, 12:00 (GMT +1). Next week, I will also open a prediction contest. I will open the prediction contest for the Combined Speed Skating ISU World Single Distances Championships 2023 and Short Track Speed Skating ISU World Championships. The prediction design for the Speed Skating-part of the contest will be up during next week. The prediction design for the Short Track Speed Skating-part will be published when the first Speed Skating events have begun. I would say you can expect to see the prediction design for this part to be up March 3rd or 4th.

That is just wow In other hand, from the minnows corner, we officially know also the mini-mini-mini team representatives at the European Indoor Champs. So without further ado here are our heroes for Istanbul : Ján Volko (M 60m) & Viktória Forster (W 60m & W 60m Hurdles)

Tandrevold just pulled the brakes on the Simon-train

Tomingas' 6th place apparently moved her up from 1000 euro per month to 3000 euro per month in financial support. Nice.

Fantastic example of why IBU's pursuit rules are such an incredible waste for the sport. That's 15 (!) athletes who could have started today due to withdrawals of athletes ahead of them. Damn.

I think so too! And this despite our best biathlete has been sick and Elvira Will not race today either.

yes i will

Medal for

Rain & wind. Just enough snow to last!

Injury. Focusing on the next season already
