  1. Not really. You can call the standings at the cancellation point final. Mass hysteria has more power than common sense these days. The Spanish influenza in 1918-19 didn't cause the cancellation of Indianapolis 500 or the baseball season back in USA and it was far bigger than the current coronavirus outbreak Polish ice hockey league will probably play the semi-finals that are due to start on Saturday behind closed doors and nobody thinks about cancelling the entire season.
  2. Biden delivered a beatdown yesterday. He won every single county in Missouri and racked up 80% in Mississippi. Not to mention winning the biggest state Michigan by over 250,000 votes! (where Sanders beat Clinton four years ago). Sanders didn't even deliver a speech and bailed out to Vermont
  3. No worries. This is their "work" so they fall under the special circumstances issued by the Italian government. The French confirm this: https://www.ski-nordique.net/la-federation-italienne-de-ski-stoppe-toutes-ses-activites.6292320-358825.html The biathlon 'A' team is allowed to finish the season, same with women's ski jumping team, snowboard cross and of course Federica Brignone in alpine skiing
  4. This is not unusual in ski jumping. Every now and again they change the measurement index or someone comes up with a significant technical edge. Women has seen a power shift too, Americans are basically non-existent anymore while someone like Coline Mattel was a contender for three years before ending her career at age 23 due to lack of results. Takanashi the teenager was a dominator, the adult version is a mere Top 10 regular.
  5. SLOW shooting is sometimes more effective!
  6. Not really. Avoiding a penalty loop on the last shoot would have been sufficient
  7. Sanfilippo brngs Italy down to Earth. This will be a training ski for Wierer on the last leg
  8. Hanna Oeberg skips the relay. Italy unusually with Wierer on the last leg, guess if Sanfilippo & Carrara blow it up then she can take it very easy
  9. Matthias Mayer takes the lead. Stll 2nd place for Kilde is very good.
  10. That was the great concern the Italians will use the coronavirus to protect Brignone's overall lead. Shiffrin is 153 pts back with three Are races, basically she'd have to win them all and count for Brignone to bomb in PSL and slalom to somehow take the lead back. Vlhova would have had a better chance if she didn't blow the Crans Montana AC.
  11. So, apparently this was Michal Slesingr's last individual race ever? Horrible it happened with empty stands
  12. Cheng Fangming gets a PB in 16th (previous was 22nd) JTB is only 16 pts behind MF if we drop the two worst results.
  13. Krcmar passed both Fourcade and Jacquelin on the last loop and finishes 4th!
  14. Yeah, pure bullshit. OEB vs Poiree vs Fischer was a LOT better than this
  15. Doherty's skiing must have really fallen off lately. He lost over 30 secs. to Cheng
  16. Tomasz Sikora speculates Alexander Tikhonov's happy mouth in one of the TV interviews was behind the Loginov crackdown at the WCh Well, they can't talk about Wierer's eye-lashes today so it is what it is.
  17. Magdalena Rybarikova (tennis) will retire after the Fed Cup finals next month.
  18. Yep, apparently the German went the wrong route on the last leg and Marcisz simply followed her by default even though she knew there was a new loop for the relay. Epic brain freeze that makes Stadlober look good
  19. wins women's 4x3,3 km relay! The job done by Alexander Veretelny & Justyna Kowalczyk sure comes to the fore. Marcisz won three individual medals so far. It's sad that there are reports Veretelny might actually retire at the end of the season. He has said before he's basically retired for 7 years already If he goes, so will Kowalczyk and our senior cross country will go down the gutter again. We haven't done anything to cash in on Kowalczyk's success period anyway. It's basically this one coach who brought her to all these results and now she's doing the coaching for the youngsters. We're complete amateurs compared to Norway & co.
  20. USA beat England 2-0 in She Believes Cup. Spain also beat Japan 3-1. It's curious to see Spain invited here, they gave USA the biggest test at the World Cup and could be on the verge of becoming a real force in women's football. They dominated the junior ranks for years but their senior team was always lacking the same quality. Probably not anymore.
  21. I noticed Kocergina was "only" 27 secs behind Herrmann after the first shoot. If she shot 10/10 she'd probably finish around Todorova so a Top 20 result!
  22. MIkaela Shiffrin has flown to Sweden yesterday. Comeback in Are looming
  23. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Old white men dominate politics in the world
