Looks like there's no ski jumping stream

You get lapped, and you get lapped and everybody gets lapped.

Snowboard Freestyle? At the moment there's just a logo and music playing.

Sophie Sorschag has switched her nationality and will compete for Kosovo from now on.

She's been sick over the Christmas and New Years too. Hence why her skiing form wasn't that great lately. Polona Klemenčič also got sick while at Pokljuka and she was supposed to start the sprint, but still hasn't recovered. Maybe Anamarija got sick from being in close contact with her? I don't know what this means for our team, it's very likely they won't start on sunday.

Odermatt and Kilde both lived very dangerously today. Both could have ended up with serious injury were it not for their amazing saves. Sadly it looks like another Norwegian (Henrik Roea) picked up one, just a few meters from the finish line. It looked like a serious one too. The way it flipped him over at that speed you just knew something was wrong.

Finally Kobayashi does something of value this season. We will see if this is just home court advantage or has he actually got the form back. Too late for the overall, but just in time for the World Championship. Also Kasai at 50 years old finished 51st in qualifications

Apparently players from Cape Verde had problems with their beds in Sweden. The beds collapsed under their weight. "We transferred them immediately, but the bad aftertaste remained," said Nilton Delgado, who is helping newcomers from Cape Verde at the World Cup, to Swedish Aftonbladet. As he added, the beds of six handball players collapsed. "It's true that we don't have a big budget and the hotel is among the cheaper ones, but what happened was shameful. I don't know what the hotel staff was thinking, to offer the guests, who are two meters tall and weigh a hundred kilograms, beds intended for older children." But that's not all. Problems with beds occurred in Poland too! "The beds in our hotel are wide, but the problems were caused by mattresses that were too hard. Of course, the hardness of these is a matter of judgment and habit, but most of us asked for particularly soft mattresses," Norwegian player Tobias Groendahl told one of Norway's biggest newspapers, Dagbladet. His compatriot Sander Sagosen also had similar problems in Krakow, where the first part of the WC was played: "The mattresses were too hard and we can only hope that the mattresses in the new hotel in Katowice will be more comfortable and that we will be able to sleep well."

I'm really surprised by this. I guess we just love to play Poland in Poland. We won against them in volleyball and now in handball. Here's hoping they host the Eurobasket sometime soon.

Our team is poor. We didn't even qualify to this tournament, we are only here because of the wild card. We won against which was expected. But if we win against Poland and France it will be a huge surprise. We've fallen quite low since 2017 when we won the bronze medal.

Are Canadians and Americas still one team? I remember in the past two OG and WC they were coached by our coaches together.

That second run from Marco Odermatt was something else. Attacking full gas from the start to the finish, there were several instances where he no could, but should have wiped out. He carried way to much speed in so corners making him lift off into the air. Watching him today you can clearly see he is a level above everyone else in giant slalom this year. Also the fans were amazing. At times it felt like you were watching a football derby, especially when she Swiss were racing and getting the lead. For me this is the best race this season so far.

4 Slovenians in points today! I'm really happy for Vidmar and Cisar (perfect shooting performance). Jakov kept missing that one shot per round which resulted in only 17th place. He was quite disappointed in himself.

Polona Klemenčič and Anamarija (was sick during the break) both said that their skiing times should have been better. I think the waxing team made a mistake today. The end result no slovenian girls qualified to the pursuit for the first time this season.

It was just announced that Urša Bogataj has ended her season. She already was on the fence last year after the OG if she wanted to continue and decided to go until Planica 2023. So this likely means she will end her career at 27. This also doesn't bode well for our hopes of a medal in Planica. Last season we were on top, this year we will be lucky if we get one medal in the end...

A bit of interesting news about the Silvester Tour for women. Apparently the Germans have usurped it as their president of the ski federation has announced on their news channel that it's all but been confirmed that the women will jump during the new years in both Ga-Pa and Obersdorf. They want the Austrian part of the 4-Hills for men to come in and join them in hosting the other two legs. Meaning Ljubno (and also Villach) who's been hosting these events since the beginning will fall out.This stings as Ljubno despite being the smallest hill has the best attendance for women's ski jumping. Fox example over 7000 people were in the stands today. In some other venues you can't even get more than 200. I guess FIS really does care only about the money...

He'll be back when Song leaves imo

And he even gained two places in the final.

Lanišek got two 20s from the judges for his second jump. It was almost perfect

Dovžan, usually one of the slowest guys on the circuit was faster than JTB

Really happy for Ilka, but without all of those mistakes she would have won. Feels like a missed opportunity.

Just like in Peking. There he came from 8th to 2nd.

Polona Klemenčič gained 26 positions. I think it's the best result so far of her career. Lampič effect I think

Fantastic from Simon.

Lampič not starting today. Ricco Gross said they don't want to overburden her too early. Will start tomorrow in the relay.
