Since some people might not check the ski jumping thread I'll post this here too: #1 gold favorite in women's ski jumping Marita Kramer tested positive and she is still in Germany which makes her Olympic start highly questionable.

I have followed NFL for over 20 years so yeah, he is right up there with Michael Jordan at the very least

One of the best NFL insiders reports Tom Brady might indeed retire after 22 seasons

Kevin Bickner won that which gave him automatic #1 spot for WOG. They were actually held in Lake Placid

I know he was added. Even Polish commentators laughed at the Patrick Gasienica inclusion to begin with. American NOC has no clue what they are doing or they truly wanted to blacklist Dean for some reason. Willingen second round is cancelled due to wind conditions. Ryoyu Kobayashi wins and reclaims the yellow bib. Decker Dean finished 27th so he scored 4 points.

Michal Jelinski, rowing Olympic champion from 2008 also has type 1 diabetes and nobody cares about that. I don't understand this diabetes craze that is supposedly to make their achievements exceptional. I haven't seen this narrative preached outside of US media tbh.

Wind lottery in Willingen individual but Decker Dean will score points! A nice middle finger salute to the NOC

I wonder if anyone in Slovakia notices that or is your media all about ice hockey & Vlhova already?

leads 3-1 early in the 2nd half. Meanwhile is down 1-2 to the favorites

With Sapporo cancelled this season, there was no better option to skip a World Cup round than Willingen

Impressive win for Stremous fresh off a Top 10 at World Cup! 8th place for Natalia Tomaszewska is a great result too.

wins 29-25!

wins by 63 points. should easily improve at WOG when they draft R. Kobayashi & Takanashi. Austria needs a better 2nd male since Kraft is not at the best level. Norway has issue with the second woman, Bjoerseth is having a mediocre season. And Germany also needs a better second woman, Juliane Seyfarth might stick to her Playboy look as top achievement!

leads the mixed at half-distance by a large margin. The Olympic mixed will be held on normal hill which is the only hope for countries like and but can always be in the mix since they have a B-team in Willingen.

5 days - 5 steps from Wotherspoon?

With no NHL players this feels like gold to lose. probably the biggest threat indeed.

Women start from higher gates than men but Yuki Ito reached 154 meters in training today. Silje Opseth had 152,5. For those who don't follow ski jumping much, Willingen is the biggest large hill on the World Cup. Here's the list of 150 meters jumps in Willingen:

Mikael Kingsbury - moguls Francesco Friedrich - two man bob Men's cross country 4x10 km Relay Women's cross country Team Sprint Ester Ledecka - snowboard PGS

Natalia Czerwonka & Magdalena Czyszczon (speed skating) tested positive after arriving in Beijing (no sympthoms). Also two biathlon coaches tested positive

Some crazy shit in vs . Ecuador had the goalkeeper send off after 15 minutes and Brazilian GK Allison was shown red card twice only to have them both rescinded on VAR (one was changed to yellow). Brazil had another player send off after 20 minutes anyway and VAR rescinded penalty for Ecuador. Game finished 1-1

In case someone needs a mixed team OG preview, Willingen will stage a mixed event tomorrow

Piotr Zyla tested negative both yesterday & today so things appear to be back to normal.

Ben Roethlisberger formally announced his retirement. Everyone expected that to happen. Some coaching news, Nathaniel Hackett is the new Broncos HC. I wonder if this was done to lure Aaron Rodgers?
