Safety & security my ass. It's obviously about the money or lack thereof following Skoda's decision

Doping will never be stopped anyway and IOC knows that. Besides Justin Gatlin being present in Tokyo shows how hypocritical IOC really is. It's a no win situation for them since they were lenient before and playing hardball makes no sense anymore. They are sitting on their hands when it comes to Kenya already.

Polish NT head coach Jerzy Brzeczek has been fired! Good riddance

Next one should be someone from Italy IMO.

Yeah, National anthem gets banned and yet they still have the nerve to ask for some patriotic song instead? Come on. Is this a joke?

Of course they have the nerve. It's Russia. And I'd love to see IOC look stupid when Justin Gatlin gets to hear the US national anthem

Andreescu has been absent for so long two more weeks don't make any difference

It seems like the pre-season marriages have left even the French TV confused?

And Stekala blows it A proper reminder he's a second-tier guy who overperformed this season.

Yes, they weren't lapped but still without Hojnisz this performance was terrible. Except Hojnisz none of our womens arent able to score points regulary what wasnt a problem yet two years ago. Something bad happened with Zbylut and Żuk, lets hope that Greis will find what is reason behind these results.

 

I wish to see in Anterselva Jakieła on the relay instead Gwizdoń and Mąka instead Pitoń.

 

About Davidova and Żuk. This "story" we can compare to Szczurek and Landertinger, in juniors both of them were medalists but then in seniors we all know where was Landertinger and where is Szczurek... Being good in juniors doesnt mean that you will be good in seniors at all.

But there was no hype for Szczurek coming into the seniors. Hell, Wojciech Kozub is still the second-best Polish male in the last 30 years. Meanwhile Zuk had some hype coming in as she did win those 2 gold medals in Otepaa compared to Davidova's one (could have been three if not for 2 more misses than MD). Elvira Oeberg won the youth golds back then and look at her now too. We don't have a problem that our best juniors are blocked by the depth of the senior team. Zuk had all the tools to become a regular Top 20 fixture and she's done nothing since the World Champs last season. It's safe to say she has regressed over the last 12 months and she's way too young not to be concerned over it.

Btw, Sikora said Zuk and Zbylut will skip Anterselva? So Gwizdon and Piton will probably stick around there.

Hey, at least we didn't get lapped minus Hojnisz And we finished ahead of Italy   I can imagine they put Wierer on the last leg just for a training leg. I think they figured out it's no use to put V&W on the first two legs and hope for the other two not to lose too much?

Sadly Kamila Zuk just can't get going whatsoever. To think she was on par with Marketa Davidova in the juniors is a sad story when you see how Davidova has developed into a Top 10 performer in the seniors.

Huh? More like Canmore 2019?

Oeberg's ski speed is toast. Kruchinkina is way faster.

Belarus leads after 3 shoots. Who needs Domracheva?

Braisaz with a meltdown.

Eckhoff 2 penalty loops.

You know it's bad when Tomasz Sikora gets upset how slowly Kamila Zuk is shooting. She's really giving away too much time on the range

Well, Eckhoff and Olsbu will have some catching up to do.

Larschneider meltdown undoes all of Vittozzi's work

Bassino wins! 3/4. Quite clearly the best GS skier this season.

Maryna G-D 10th

Monster run from Worley. Could be for the win?

MGD into second place 0,64 behind Gut. That's a great performance!

Amanda Anisimova has officially withdrawn too

We‘ll see about that ...

 

Also: Once again great job connecting unrelated things to support your narrative.

Child welfare connects this case. In Poland it's the liberals who want this taken away (because the "state can't afford it" as our former minster of finance said)   just like the liberals in Netherlands. Rich will NEVER understand the poor and this Dutch government collapse is a living proof of this.

Marc Rutten is lucky he's not American because he would have been accused of racism after illegally punishing the immigrants & Muslim minority like that.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55674146

It's funny, in Poland several government critics accused Law & Justice of buying votes when they adopted a similar 500+ children welfare programme (that was supposedly going to be spend not on children but vodka because it's Poland) yet an albatross of a child welfare programme in the Netherlands brings that government down (which shows you how idiotic the anti-Law & Justice critique in terms of 500+ really are).

Holland has been accused of being the driving force behind the rich EU North's fiscal policies, turns out these fuckers even wanted to save money at the expense of their own country's children? No wonder they're history now. Good riddance!

Three-time college national champion coach Urban Meyer will be the next Jacksonville Jaguars head coach! Things got a little more interesting in Duval with Trevor Lawrence widely expected to be #1 pick in the draft.

Meyer won two college titles with Florida Gators in the 00s so he should be loved by the Jax fans? Of course successful college coaches don't often find similar success in NFL. Just look at Nick Saban's failed tenure with the Dolphins. Also Pete Carroll found success with only his third NFL franchise. However Jaguars have had 10+ loss seasons in 9 of the previous 10 years so the only way is up!

What's with Skottheim? I suppose this is more than just a calf strain suffered right at the very end of the Hochfilzen mass start?

Both Keys and Murray will be replaced? Nonsense. Then for what is this two weeks qurantine before first warm-up tournament? 

Keys said she's out already. I seriously doubt Australia allows someone who tested positive to fly into the country and quarantine here. I mean self-quarantine is for healthy athletes to begin with.

French Open prevented false-positive players from taking part so there's no way Australia allows Sandgren to play IMO.

Meanwhile Andy Murray tested positive for covid...  as did Madison Keys.

Magda Linette has apparently pulled out due to a knee injury.

At this rate all the lucky losers that travelled to Australia will get a MD entrance.

WTA LLs:  Bonaventure (In already, could be for Yastremska though), Gasparyan, Schmiedlova, Buzarnescu, Tsurenko, Rakhimova.

EDIT: Apparently Yastremska has flown to Australia today anyway. So Bonaventure is in for Linette and Gasparyan will probably get Keys' spot.

It's official - Main Draw ceremony will be held on February 4th @thepharoah

Kinga Zbylut 34th, Kamila Zuk 39th. It is what it is for

Kocergina 47th with 9/10. That's a positive results for @Werloc ?
