Justin Fields set the new single-game record for rushing years by QB (178). Previous recored was 173 by Michael Vick twenty years ago.

Like said above, Jan Boklov first started using it during 1986/87 Four Hills and broke though as the inventor though there were others who also tried the V style. And he always got low style marks but eventually the longer distances outweighted the marks to the point he won the 1988/89 overall World Cup (Jiri Malec won bronze at 1988 OG normal hill using this style as well). From that point onwards more jumpers started to switch over, the first one being Swiss, most notably Stefan Zuend.

Caroline Garcia & Aryna Sabalenka will play in the YEC final

1991/92 was the last season where almost half of the field was still using the parallel technique. It was basically all gone come 1993.

Yeah, Westman has one of the worst landings out there and always gives up style points BUT she can only improve on that! First podium for in ski jumping World Cup since March 1992!!! https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=JP&competitorid=38148&raceid=647#results

Lukas Podolski still wheeling it for Górnik Zabrze. Scores from half-way line...

Maxime Crepeau (GK) is out of the World Cup after a serious injury in the MLS Cup final. Other notable players who will be absent are N'Golo Kante & Paul Pogba. Ben Chilwell is also out.

Incredible MLS Cup final between Los Angeles FC and Philadelphia Union. No spoilers just in case...

4-1 was the final score. Houston Astros win their second World Series ever after 2017. Rookie Jeremy Pena should be voted WS MVP. Dusty Baker is no longer the manager with most MLB wins w/o a World Series victory.

Yordan Alvarez with a 3-run HR in the 6th. Astros added another run and lead 4-1 in Game 6...

Caroline Garcia beats Daria Kasatkina in third set TB to secure the Sakkari SF match-up. Iga Świątek blitzes Cori Gauff 6-3 6-0 to complete the sweep. Gauff & Pegula went 0-9 at the YEC losing ALL their singles & doubles matches

Correct. Even an old-timer like Apoloniusz Tajner (ex-HC & boss of Polish federation) said this week that he thinks in 20 years time there will be no ski jumping on snow anymore

Silje Opseth wins the first women's event ahead of Marita Kramer & Eva Pinkelnig. Frida Westman in 4th place (one whom a lot of Polosh fans want to do well given how Swedish ski jumping fell off in the last 25 years). Maren Lundby 16th on her comeback. Noticeable good results for Rautionaho (9th) and Strate (11th). No points for Tamara Mesikova who finished 35th splitting both Konderla & Rajda.

Well, it reminds me of this old classic

Aryna Sabalenka beat Jessica Pegula so Ons Jabeur had to beat Maria Sakkari in two sets to make the semis but she lost in straights. Iga Świątek vs Sabalenka is the first SF, Sakkari will play the winner of Garcia vs Kasatkina.

Also in Wisła...

Ahem, the Slovakian sleuthing needs an upgrade The last Slovakian to win World Cup points in ski jumping was obviously Tamara's uncle Martin Mesik. I could have told you that without google Engelberg 2005: https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=JP&raceid=1991

Astros take game five 3-2. Justin Verlander gets his first World Series victory decision. Phillies travel back to Houston where they'll have to get wins off both Framber Valdez & Christian Javier

Świątek beat Garcia 6-3 6-2 and Kasatkina beat Gauff 7-6 6-3 which means Świątek has made the SF while Garcia plays Kasatkina for the second spot. In the other group Sakkari has advanced.

The most puzzling Polish name for a foreign country is obviously "Włochy". It comes from a German version of Vlahs who invaded Italy in the medieval period. The same background has the Hungarian name of Italy. However we sometimes use the term "Italia" just to have some language diversity

In Poland everyone always says "Czechy" so this change is completely irrelevant

Five HR for Phillies in Game 3 but Astros pitch a combined no-hitter in Game 4 to even the series! It's only the second no-hitter in World Series ever after the 1956 Don Larsen perfect game.

Man, British Empire is taking all those hits while buried in the grave. Anglicization of the global languages is the longest-lasting effect of the Seven Years War

Aryna Sabalenka beat Ons Jabeur in three sets. In the other group today: Świątek beat Kasatkina 6-2 6-4 (fifth win in a row in this match-up) and Garcia beat Gauff 6-4 6-3.

Trade deadline passed today. Here are the moves:
