Or maybe not... Elvira hit the turbo button on the last lap...

Oeberg, Simon & Hauser all 4/5 but it will be a ski race between Oeberg & Simon!

Elvira Oeberg leads after three shoots in the pursuit. Can she avoid a meltdown?

Bryce Bennett looks good to win his first World Cup race in Val Gardena

Well, Breezy Johnson made it look competitive.

Yes, it seems like getting within a second will be impossible - and she made at least two mistakes on the top section.

Dare I say Ratajski underperformed this time around...

The mass starts in speed skating are usually boring as hell. Short track's appeal is focused on the word "short". Long track mass start is a failed attempt to create competition & excitement.

@hckošice Well, you can always advance to B level come 2024? The same way Poland probably drops to B level and somehow gets to play Venezuela.

All the games would be played in Europe, which is kinda wack. I'd like to see us playing in Bolivia 

Bolivia & Venezuela will probably be placed in B division so there is more chance someone like Slovakia draws them? @hckošice

Marita Kramer wins again (5 five wins in 7 events this season). Frida Westman 15th in the end.

If Boniek is quoted here than it's a done deal.

Huge chance for some European teams to finally play the elusive  

It's the only CONMEBOL nation Poland has never played before (and we had a discussion about these games few months back).

Frida Westman 10th after first round in Ramsau. Meanwhile neither of the jumpers made it out of qualifying. Lukasz Kruczek will single-handedly (well, not quite) kill our girls' potential in a matter of two seasons

ALG had 2 red cards from previous match + 2 injured players , they were in bad situation , otherwise the score will be large

lucky teams in the same group with Qatar in WC  

Yes, it's obvious the Qatar group will be a desired destination for anyone outside Pot 1 during the draw ( I assume the hosts will be in that pot by design). Any team from Europe/South America or even Africa could advance into the knockout round. Qatar has bought enough foreigners to look competitive in handball but football is a different ball game

This game made some news yesterday since Marciniak was the referee. Actually he has a worse reputation here in Poland than he does with UEFA. 19 minutes of extra time sounds far-fetched by default.

2002 and 2004 Ferrari was vastly superior to the rest. Those two seasons were on par with some of Mercedes' last ones (2019 in particular when Red Bull switched to Honda and LeClerc outpaced the out of sorts Vettel who was still reeling from 2018 German GP error that basically shifted the title momentum).

A huge game tonight.  Hebert and the Chargers vs Mahomes and the Chiefs.    I'm going to it 

I assume there will be more Chiefs fans in the stands? I mean Chargers must be like the 12th most popular team in LA area? (behind Steelers and Packers even ).

Elvira Oeberg 8/10 and only 0,7 behind Bescond. But Olsbu is on course to win anyway.

Eckhoff 9/10 behind Sola 8/10

Bescond 10/10 but will need some ski speed to challenge for the podium.

Mercedes has withdrawn the appeal. Results are officially official

@Swewi You actually played curling with John Morris?

The 2-11 Jacksonville Jaguars have fired HC Urban Meyer. The idea that successful college coaches can succeed in NFL has suffered another blow. Matt Rhule from Carolina Panthers is another guy on the hot seat and might not return in 2022.

Karolina Pliskova picked up a hand injury and has withdrawn from Australian Open 2022.
