Update from the Danish Badminton conflict. The Board of Badminton Denmark has chosen not to continue negotiating beacuse they can't accept the leader of the Players' Association, Mads Oeland. According to Badminton Denmark the reason why they won't continue to negotiate with Mads Oeland is that they received "threats" about compensation for the missed training sessions in the Elite center. Other "threats": - Threats to open negotiations outside of Badminton Denmark with federal sponsors. - Requirements for continuation of the elite program in unchanged form, even if there is no applicable collective agreement between the parties. - Badminton Denmark does not want to negotiate a new collective national team agreement with a gun for the forehead. - The only reaction Badminton Denmark has received from the Players' Association in the last 14 days is two mails on Friday 30 November. The two mails contain, among other things, threats regarding the submission of claims for compensation due to the suspension of the elite program, and threats to open negotiations outside of Badminton Denmark with the federal sponsors, as well as requirements for continuation of the elite program in unchanged form. They say it's not a healthy way of negotiating. Badminton Denmark will try to negiotiate with the players through the Players' Council, instead of the Players' Association. This is all of course from Badminton Denmark's perspective. We haven't heard anything from Mads Oeland or the players yet.

Guess who is going to be 4th?

With Fourcade's dominance for the men, there need to be a bit of balance in the biathlon world.

Don't forget Dzhima!

Wierer and Oeberg show some good skiing today.

20/20 for Dombrovski. @Werloc must be satisfied.

I see that Crnkovic has "practiced" his shooting.

Here in Denmark we don't have many weird dishes or food. Traditional Danish food is pretty bland. I watched a food program about Danish regional dishes. I saw this dish, which I found sort of weird. It's cod heads and balls of barley porridge. The balls are put inside the mouth of the cod heads, and then you eat the balls. Appetizing. We also have sylte (A kind of tarrine). Sylte was originally made from a head of a pig, but is now commonly made from the forequarters or shanks of pork or veal.

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) Congress has voted in favour of including parkour as an official new discipline. It has also been officially confirmed that Congress accepted the creation of the Gymnastics Ethics Foundation, a new body charged with implementing FIG policy on the safeguarding and protecting of athletes. The Congress also agreed to strengthen the FIG's governance in the field of gender equality and ratified a number of changes related to the statutes. "For instance," the release continued, "Federations participating with more than one delegate in the Congress, must now include at least one representative of each gender. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1073020/fig-congress-votes-for-official-inclusion-of-parkour-events

I need to consult my old Dutch roommate next time, before I write something about Dutch traditions.

Tiril Eckhoff will not compete in Pokljuka due to a cold.

Looking forward to the yearly protests against "Zwarte Piet"?

Kuzmina is on the start list tomorrow. I thought she didn't compete in individual this season? @hckosice Do you know if she is actually going to start tomorrow?

Yes it is. I love "he who must not be named" is Martin Fourcade.

What the f**k, German biathlon. https://www.sportschau.de/wintersport/biathlon/video-magiathlon---ein-magischer-biathlon-winter-steht-bevor-100.html (It's in German.)

Random posts about food is what you get when a biathlon competition is cancelled.
