It's confirmed that Vikersund has been included in the World Cup 2018/19 season and as part of the Raw Air Tour. This come after a discussion about safety standards at the hill.

I think there must be a curse over Neureuther when he is in Levi. Luckily, it's not so bad as last year.

Apparently FIS doesn't acknowledge this Canadian skier, or maybe his name is too explicit for FIS live update. He could also have the most unusual name in the world. #Bringbacktheoldfis (By the way, the name of the Canadian skier is Russell Kennedy)

It's weird not seeing the name Prevc in the world cup.

The ATP and Tennis Australia today officially unveiled the ATP Cup - a new team competition to kickstart the men’s tennis season from 2020. The tournament will be played across three Australian cities over ten days in the lead up to the Australian Open and will feature teams from 24 countries. The format of the ATP Cup will see nations split into six groups, with eight teams emerging from the round-robin stage to compete in the knockout phase until only one team is left standing. There will be up to five players in each team, with ties comprising two singles matches and one doubles match. The criteria for entry into the ATP Cup will be based off the ATP Ranking of the No. 1 singles player from each country. https://www.atpworldtour.com/en/news/atp-unveils-atp-cup-team-event-for-2020-season

Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said if “private funding isn’t enough, we’ll make the final push” to cover the remaining costs. https://apnews.com/3d08df3defcf4287af4f9cb57a32fca6 @Gianlu33 @AlFHg @Dunadan @phelps have you read more about this in the Italian news?

I never thought the word "pesto" would be mentioned so many times on a sports forum. (Before today, "pesto" hadn't been mentioned on the forum. Now it has been 12 times .) Edit: Well 13 after this post.

The government of Spain has given assurances to the IOC that athletes from Kosovo can compete under their own flag in competitions hosted by Spain. https://www.olympic.org/news/joint-statement-of-the-ioc-and-the-spanish-olympic-committee

Pesto rosso is a general term for red varities of pesto. Pesto alla siciliana is a specific type of pesto. Here we normally make pesto rosso of sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, sunseed oil/olive oil, pine nuts or cashew nuts, garlic and parmesan (sometimes a little basil).

Don't you have other types of pesto, except Pesto alla Genovese, where you live? Here we make many varieties of pesto. BUT NEVER MAKE KALE PESTO! THAT IS A CRIME AGAINST PESTO!

Really?

All these Italian dishes makes me really hungry. I will probably have Fusilli al pesto rosso with some vegetables on the side later.
