  1. Taiwan is named Chinese Taipei in international sport, not Taiwan, and there lies the conflict. For China, Taiwan is a province of the Republic of China. For Taiwan, It is a sovereign state. "Chinese Taipei" was then chosen as an ambigious name for athletes living on/from the island of Taiwan back in 1979/81 to solve the political conflict. I'm sorry if I misunderstood your point.
  2. My point is that Taiwan should be allowed to call their nation what ever they want, without being threatened by IOC to be excluded from an international sport competition, because of a name. I'm sorry my point wasn't formulated clearly.
  3. POLITICS ALERT!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Taiwan is due to vote on Saturday, November 24, on whether the island should compete as "Taiwan" and not "Chinese Taipei". IOC warns Taiwan name-change could cost country right to compete at Tokyo 2020. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1072419/ioc-warns-taiwan-name-change-could-cost-country-right-to-compete-at-tokyo-2020 Politics and sports is like a dirty martini. Olives and olive juice should not be mixed with alcohol, but it still exist anyway.
  4. I always thought Millennials would be the reason for the downfall of our civilization. Oh well, at least I lived as long as an average person in Classical Rome and Grecce.
  5. First Russian victory in the Ski Jumping World Cup and the first Russian to lead the World Cup.
  6. The stats page on the new fis is TERRIBLE. I searched for Russian podiums in the Ski Jumping World Cup, and this is what I see: #Bringbacktheoldfis
  7. So many new names in the top after first round, but there is still a second jump left. And yes, great jump by "Andreas Wave". You could say he is riding on a wave at the moment.
  8. Zenhäusern is still a big mystery for me. With his height, and some weight training, he would be a good skier in the speed disciplines.
  9. The podium. 1. Hirscher 2. Kristoffersen 3. A dude who is over 1 second behind the two other.
  10. I could be Bulgaria's first World Cup points since Peter Popangelov in the 1986/87 season. (That is what I could find, but I could be wrong.)
  11. Bib 75 Albert Popov is currently 22. He will qualifiy for the second run.
  12. No Shipulin on the Russian team in Pokljuka. President of the Russian Biathlon Union, Vladimir Drachev, has told Russian medias, "He is not ready yet. It so happened that he did not run in the qualifying rounds, and his state of health is not up to perform. We still have to prepare". Shipulin will instead prepare for the IBU Cup.
  13. Yeah it's not the same, but it could be this scenario from now on... Reality can be cruel.
  14. Japan had two falls but they still became 4.
  15. I wonder if Kazakstan can score 100 points over 4 jumpers in this competition?
  16. Or some Danish words.....Speciallægepraksisplanlægningsstabiliseringsperiode.
  17. You must mean the track is open?
  18. The 2010 Olympic gold medal winner and multiple WCH medalist, Tatjana Hüfner, will retire after this season. This decision has been taken due to many injuries and health problems in the recent years.
  19. Neureuther will not start tomorrow due to his hand injury. https://www.sportschau.de/wintersport/ski-alpin/video-nach-ausfall---neureuther-will-sich-so-schnell-wie-moeglich-operieren-lassen-100.html (German)
  20. Yeah, that is usually the conditons when the season starts in Central Europe. (Wisla, Klingenthal). But I really like the season begins in Poland. The atmosphere is always so great. One of my biggest wishes is to be in Zakopane when the World Cup is there. I imagine it must be so fantastic.
  21. The surface/snow is not great, many falls. Also, Kasai doesn't qualify for sunday...
  22. The new World Cup season is about to start.
