An update about this week's WC in Oslo. Good news: It seems the 30km and 50km in Holmekollen will go ahead as scheduled. The sad news is this:

The FIBA 3x3 Olympic Qualification Tournament, which was scheduled to be held in Bengaluru, India, from March 18 to 22, has been postponed.

New IWF guidelines will allow athletes to compete at a different continental championships in April if their own championships are affected by the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak. The ability to switch to a different competition is not automatically granted and is only available to athletes who are: Registered for their own continental championships Still eligible for Olympic qualification In compliance with whereabouts and other anti-doping requirements Able to arrange travel and visa to the host country Requests will be considered by a special working group of senior IWF commission chairs and will also have to be approved by the host country of the competition. However, entry deadlines will be relaxed so we could see changes relatively close to the competitions themselves.

"We're almost there" says the Tunisian Jury. The rest of the National Juries are like:

Final Standing available here toulousain Dunadan dcro What a battle for the first place! One point separated 1st and 2nd place. In the end, it was @toulousain who came out as the victor. The single perfect prediction in contest turned out to be very important. It's already @toulousain's second gold medal this year. He is the first to win two medals this season. A big congratulation once again, @toulousain! He was close to win yet another gold medal, but he had to stay in the 2nd position on the final day. When @Dunadan choose to participate in a prediction contest, he is almost guaranteed to win a medal. An impressive contest once again from his side. Likely not the last medal we will see @Dunadan win this season. Congrats and huge respect to you, @Dunadan! @dcro follow in toulousain's footsteps, as he secures himself another medal this season. Many strong predictions from his hand brings him a well-deserved bronze medal in this contest. Second bronze medal this month. Congrats, @dcro! You can look back on a good month in Totallympics prediction contest for you. @Agger and @PakoNatxo have been really close twice today of winning a medal. A bit of bad fortune for both of you. However, you can both be proud of two great contests. @Giovanni Gianni Cattaneo continues a good season start with a terrific 5th place. @Monzanator didn't win his second medal today, but a marvelous final day place him in the upper tier for the second prediction contest of today. As usual, thanks to all who participated! A busy February has come to an end for the users. March has already begun, and the first month of the Spring for many users will be less crowded. Due to the ongoing worldwide spreading of COVID-19, many sport events have been cancelled or postponed. This has also affected some of the suggested predicton contests for March. At moment, we will have one prediction contest in March. The Prediction Group will discuss if it will be a Women's Curling WCH contest or a Figure Skating WCHs contest. You will be noticed soon. Lastly, I will update the General Standings and Medal Tables in one of the upcoming days. That's all from me, your prediction contest manager, Wumo.
