Excellent start of the season! Live timing wasn't ideal, some transponders issues here and there, so while she should have crossed the line first (started 2nd), I didn't see her in the finish list even after 8-9 women finished...luckily then she called and when I asked if she finished, she said she did, so no problems and it was indeed just some transponder issue  
 
Tomorrow it's the 10k classic, first time she does 10k races back-to-back, let's see how that goes  Less pressure though, since that one won't count for the Brazilian Olympic ranking, only classic sprint and freestyle distance races count for that.

Good start to the season for @brunamoura, 375 FIS points in a mildly strong sprint field in Italy yesterday. Started well in the quarters, but fell because of someone in front of her hitting something that bounced back on the course. That's alright though, qualifying is what matters in the sprint and that went well for a first snow race in almost 2 years

10k today, starting a little after 10am. Getting under 300 points or so would be a nice way to start the road.

big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili

to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.
 
they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia
 
his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov
Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.

I hope me and the wife can attend some events. My wife's uncle and his family live near Verona, so a family visit could be an opportunity to witness some events in Milano live. My wife likes figure skating, so that is on the wish list of events to attend. Personally I would love to attend one of the ice hochey games, but it would also be fun to watch either short track or speed skating live. 

December is probably going to be focused on either Italy/Austria or Norway, but the plans are still being made as we speak. Renting a car, driving from the Netherlands down to Italy, finding accomodations and help with preparing the skis and all that...trying to make it as an independent 'solo' athlete is...hard  
 
I can't go and help out, because we got the keys to our house (finally) and there's lots of work to be done there, so it's all happening at the same time and the mind is getting crazy (for both of us)  

History is made
 
The comeback from 0-1   was written with goals of Lorenzo Lazzari, Nicola Nanni and Alessandro Golinucci
 
San Marino finish with seven points in Group D1 thanks to the first two competitive wins in their history, and clinched promotion to League C
 

This is incredible. Amazing San Marino! 🇸🇲 
 

If anyone would have said to me that womens tennis team will be in the fed cup (however it is called now) in Semifinals in this decade I would never believe it.
Hell, we barely qualified one female to the olympics thanks reallocationns of reallocations... and now.. suddenly a cetain Rebecca landed from somewhere from the sky and we are in Semifinal ! Absolutely insane
 
 

It’s November 17 for me, which means it’s officially my birthday 
 

World Cup podium for Nicole Rocha in Pyeongchang  
 
Start order made a massive difference, to be fair, even more so in the second run, but still  

Well... I'm late, as always, but unfortunately I couldn't follow live and I've just finished catching up with the thread. 
 
Congratulations to our winner @Hipooo and to @Belle and @Erigert on their medals. 
 
Well done to our host @Cinnamon Bun, who put up a huge effort managing the contest.
 
Thank you to everyone who voted for our song and helped us achieve this 5th place. I saw we were very close to a podium finish, but this is still a great result.
 
Congratulations to @Makedonas on the very successful song choice.
 
I'll now share my ballot. 
 
 1st   12 pts   Romania  2nd   11 pts   Bulgaria  3rd   10 pts   Sweden  4th   9 pts   Mexico  5th   8 pts   Brazil  6th   7 pts   Indonesia  7th   6 pts   China  8th   5 pts   France  9th   4 pts   Denmark  10th   3 pts   Spain  11th   2 pts   Italy  12th   1 pts   Albania    Res1   Ireland  Res2   India  Res3   Hungary  
I'm looking forward to seeing you all in the next contest!

I still can't get over the shock!
 
Many thanks to all the juries who voted for . From the number of points, it looks like you either loved or hated the song. Nothing in between. I was quite curious to see how the scoring for a stereotypical four-chord song would develop. And it looks like the mainstream has won this time. 
 
At the same time, I want to congratulate  @Belle for a great and exciting battle, and also  @Erigert for the first podium! I am already looking forward to seeing you on this ground next year.
I must not forget the great organization of   @Cinnamon Bun! Great job! I realize that during the organization there were many obstacles that you had to deal with. My admiration for you is even greater. 
 
As the winner of the competition, I am happy to take over the hosting from Great Britain (who took over the hosting from us the year before). I will try to create an even more impressive event than when held the competition two years ago.
 
... Mikolas Josef also saying a big thank you
