  1. So the "new" Julian Eberhard, Frode Andresen, Lars Berger and all former Norwegian cross-country skiers turnt biathletes.
  2. Not the best news for Kazakh Biathlon. Yeremin is fast on a pair of ski, but his shooting is...well...
  3. IBU provisionally suspends nine Kazakh biathletes. The provisional suspensions are based on criminal investigations in Austria and Italy. http://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-provisionally-suspends-nine-kazakh-biathletes The 9 biathletes: - Galina VISHNEVSKAYA - Alina RAIKOVA - Darya KLIMINA-USSANOVA - Olga POLTORANINA - Yan SAVITSKY - Maxim BRAUN - Anna KISTANOVA - Anton PANTOV - Vassiliy POTKORYTOV
  4. I know Dahlmeier has been sick, but thus it really affect her age that much.
  5. Curling has dropped tie-breakers. I think you are right that they will use DSC to determinate 7th place. 1-7 will qualify for the 2019 World Men's Curling Championship. If the scenario mentioned above happens, the highest ranked team of the three in DSC will secure the 7th place, and a spot for 2019 WCH. The 2 other teams will qualify for 2019 World Qualification Event.
  6. Yes, you are right. To answer your question. UEFA likes complicated systems, just look at Nations League.
  7. I don't know if this would be more annoying than the "long pause commentators". .
  8. From Uefa.com How does the draw work? The draw starts with the teams in Pot 1. The first team drawn takes position B1 and the second team drawn position C1. The draw continues with the teams in Pot 3. The first team drawn is assigned to Group A. In order to determine the position of the drawn team within Group A, a ball is drawn from Pot A. A second ball is drawn from Pot 3 and assigned to Group B. Once again, to determine the position of the team within Group B, a ball is drawn from Pot B. The same procedure is repeated for Group C consecutively until all balls from Pot 3 have been drawn and the teams positioned in each group. The draw will be completed with the teams in Pot 2 using the same procedure as for Pot 3.
  9. Now I understand it! The last grahphic explanied it so well.
  10. The traditional pardon of a turkey. This year's lucky Thanksgiving turkey is "Peas". It looks happy.
  11. Wow you found a lake in Finland. How is that possible?
  12. Your Brazilian friend has to wait a bit before she can compete against Shipulin.
  13. At the moment I think New Orleans Saints is the clear favourite in NFC. In AFC I have Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers. Chiefs is my favorite, if they can keep the first seed. Patriots have some injuries, but when they are back, Patriots look strong. You never know with Steelers, one week they score 50 points, the next they can't score in three quarters. An honorable mention to L.A. Chargers. They have a great season so far, but it's Chargers we are talking about. They are the champions of losing a game in the last minutes. So my Super Bowl would be N.O. Saints vs K.C. Chiefs. Saints winning the SB with 11 points. The score, (a guess of course), 42-31 to Saints.
  14. What a game last night in Los Angeles. Two gladitors fought an epic battle of offense in the Memorial Coliseum. Both teams scored over 50 points, which is first time in NFL history this happens. L.A. Rams rammed the Chiefs in a legendary victory. They showed who is the chief of the two teams, and won the match 54-51. Jared "I-am-not-a-bust" Goff threw 4 touchdowns. Patrick "I-love-to-put-ketchup-on-everything" Mahomes threw an equally impressive 6 touchdowns. The difference between the two quarterbacks was Mahomes' 3 interceptions, which costed in the end for K.C. Chiefs. Rams' tackle, Aaron "Beast" Donald, was extraordinary last night. His two forced fumbles and two sacks were huge contributes to Rams' victory. To end it all, this game was the third highest scoring game in NFL history with 105 points. (1. 113, 2. 106).
  15. Apparently Nations League is more unpredictable than TOISC
  16. Stanimira Petrova accused judges of corruption after losing her preliminary 57 kilograms featherweight bout to home favourite Sonia. Petrova’s coach Petar Yosifov Lesov,has had his credentials revoked after he threw a bottle into the ring in protest against the decision. Has anyone seen the match? It wouldn't be the first time in AIBA's history that judges have voted a bit suspiciously.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. First Russian victory in the Ski Jumping World Cup and the first Russian to lead the World Cup.
  22. 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
