Can Simon catch Oeberg?

And Dunja Zdouc is partly Slovenian, since she is leaving on our minority part in Austria. 

Well, back in 1987 we still had soldiers based in Poland. Pidrushna's father was one of them

This is the time to remind everone Olena Pidrushna was born in Poland

I smell a medal for

If Zdouc hits 5/5 then Hauser will have a chance to steal a medal IMO.

Yeah, this race obviously needs an Eckhoff meltdown on the range...

Obviously skiing speed for Polish men is terrible

ANK in 9th place after first shoot. That's probably as high as we'll be all day

And we're off...

I think in track, the mixed 4x400 relay is run in whatever order you want.  If the distances were the same, that would be really cool to see.  

Yeah, but we see less women running on predominantly men's legs since it simply looks stupid (and vice versa with men running on women's legs). It was still more frequent when the mixed relays came on but last time I saw this there was only one woman running against 7 men. I won't be surprised if WA makes each leg mandatory for one sex and all the blending will be eliminated by rule.

is like 75% in. ANK, Guzik, Maka & Zuk. Hojnisz probably aims for the individual race and gets a bye in the mixed relay.

Nah, Mank is the whitest film this year. It's going to get nominated in each category, but it's not going to win anything.

It's set in 1930s. Not even Hollywood can spin the BLM crap in that movie. And yeah, since there are 0 black people involved, it's probably gonna be a total bust at the Awards

So, which film has the most black people involved since I'd like to know which is the favorite?

Tomljanovic choked as usual. What else is new? Halep tanked on purpose during the AO Series and still had to rely on vintage WTA choking to even reach R3.

Mank getting most Golden Globes noms says it all. The film that shamelessly preaches about Hollywood being bad for its involement in politics (but during the 1930s - for the Republicans).

 

As a film alone, it's just really boring and unimaginative.

99.9% of Hollywood movies picture Democrats as the good guys and Republicans as the evil. But of course it's never wrong when Hollywood supports Democrats. Never!  

I've heard the weakest part of Mank is the script itself. Because of the political reality I won't be surprised it's gonna be a massive hit during the Oscars. Anything to make Republicans look bad is a 100% win in Hollywood!

The supertuck is one thing, this (forearms on the handle) will be banned by UCI too

I see UCI wants to upgrade the CAS "Russia" word ban mess with some crazy shit of their own

Shall we expect more whinging that some BLM or feminist movie got passed over this time? Or are there enough movies about blacks and women to keep them happy for a change?

Swiatek beats Giorgi 6-2 6-4.

I see people argue over the same thing again. Remember that better is the enemy of the good. If the milennials want to ruin biathlon with their "better ideas" and laser guns then they get no support from me. They have the brake dance crap at the Olympic already. Just leave the biathlon alone FFS.

Meh, social media filters are old news

You can't see the first gate from the start. This will be cancelled.

So don’t give the championships to countries with too little snow/countries that can’t handle hosting it (like Italy obviously).

FIS is too political to limit the hosting venues to Austria & Switzerland alone

They should just get rid of the combined and the other gimmick events, then they would have more flexibility. Also it might make sense to have the world champs in March when there is generally less snow.

Bad idea because if there's too little snow you just can't do anything other than cancelling the whole champs. It's different for nordic WC when you can pour artificial snow in case there isn't the real stuff available. We've seen some nordic worlds in basically spring environement but it would be a disaster for alpine skiing. With the climate change I don't think you'll ever see alpine skiing WC in March.

Both starting tackles Schwartz & Fisher were missing but like NOBODY even mentioned the OL as being the Chiefs weakness before. No matter what hole they fell into, it was always about Mahomes, Kelce & Hill bailing them out. But this one time they fell and stayed in the hole it's suddenly because Fisher & Schwartz didn't play? It's more like the offensive genius Andy Reid for once got outcoached by the opponent DC (Todd Bowles).
