@sami-eg and @NikolaB can you quote my post with the third place match and final in the handball prediction contest? Write your predictions in the quote and remember to delete the space in the brackets. Also, just for safety, could all from now on post their predictions as a quote instead of copy my post in the handball prediction contest? Thanks, Wumo

That is also my problem. Vlad just posted his prediticions and I can see them fine. Hmmm.... Can you try quote my post? I want to see if that helps. Remember to delete the space in the brackets.

Try delete the [ hide] and [ /hide] in your post without your prediction in it, so blank cells. If the hide-boxes are not in your post when you try to edit it, then copy all of the content in my prediction design post again.

Hey Can you all stop posting your predictions in Handball for a moment. I can't see the content of everybody's posts. Can @sami-eg, @heywoodu and @NikolaB please edit their posts or try post their predictions again? Thanks, Wumo

I agree this system would be much more fair than the current. What do you think about hosting rights for the two groups? I personally thinks the two nations with the lowest combined sum of their places from the WCH and continental championships should receive the rights to host one group each. (WCH + Cont. = Score) High/top places equals low score. Let's say the Netherlands and Norway end up with the two lowest combined scores. They would have the hosting rights for one group each. If the Netherlands choose to decline as host, then the nation with the second lowest combined score in the group is asked if they want to host the group. In my opinion, it could also be a good idea if the two nations with the lowest combined score could choose which team they would be in group with. If we continue with our example and say the Netherlands has the lowest combined score. The Netherlands would choose a nation first for its group. Norway would then choose a nation for its group. The Netherlands then choose the next nation and so forth until both groups are complete. This way a nation like the Netherlands, who maybe don't want to host such an event, can still benefit by choosing the nations in its group.

This is a song I can recall from my time in my kindergarten when I was 4-5 years old. It seems we grew up in very different times?

Yeah, I'm not sure why we have two cases in such a short time and why they come now? The health requirements have been part of the elite programs for years in Norwegian and Swedish skiing and they have not been changed this year, so I do wonder why we suddenly see two top skiers who can't meet them? I do fear Oestberg's situation is more serious than Karlsson's. Of course I don't have any concrete proofs of that. It's only my own personal interpretation from what I can read in the different medias about Oestberg's situation.

It was today announced that Frida Karlsson will not be allowed to compete in any competition because she has not met the health requirements set by the Swedish Ski Association. The national team doctor can't say when she will be ready to compete again. Karlsson is sad and disappointed about the situation, but she will do her best to come back soon, she says. https://www.svt.se/sport/langdskidor/frida-karlsson-kan-stoppas-fran-allt-tavlande
