Wierer 5/5 and everyone else completely blow it!
-
The days of top skiers retiring at the height of their prime is over though. And Shifrin has only expanded her skillset in speed events over the last two years. If she keeps winning races at this rate even Bjoergen's cross country record could be under threat
-
Quite frankly only the injuries can stop her tbh. And the level of competition isn't very good. Only Vlhova can challenge her here & there. Veith is basically done with injuries, Gut hasn't recovered from hers much better and the new names are not really there unless maybe Robinson becomes the fresh sensation going forward? Holdener is a well-known choker so who is gonna deny Shiffrin now?
-
She was very shy for years though. It's only like in only the last two years she begins to laugh & enjoy it more. Remember her complete non-reaction to winning the gold in Vail when the crowd went nuts?
-
Neah, it's rock star attitude And now she will go shopping
-
Robinson on podium! I didn't think she would handle it! The look on Vlhova's face
-
Polish men have moved up to critical 17th place in the Nations Cup which would give them 4 starters in next year's World Cup. We have a minimal 6 pts lead over Slovakia with the Oslo sprint race the last one that can change the quota.
-
Norway has great skiers, they're not good enough to make the cross-country A team but they're world class in biathlon. It's only the shooting part that holds them back. However I guess Denise Herrmann doesn't regret switching over to biathlon even though she competed for wins in cc sprints? Schempp seems to be going out with a whimper? How long will he continue? Lesser & Ress don't have much speed so it looks as if Peiffer & Doll are the only two who can do some damage in two-shoot races.
-
Yeah, I know. Abbe Lund must be living mad, even when OEB was ignored for the Olympics, Bjoentegaard got the spot, then Svendsen retired and it's Christiansen jumping ahead of him
-
I got gold & bronze spot on. Obviously France spoiled the perfect score. Btw, has Abee Lund competed even once here? Or was he the unused sub again?
-
Fourcade costs the French relay team a medal. What a joke. If I were him I'd skip the Holmenkollen finals. Winterton/Dixon cheerleading aka kneecap sucking is over.
-
Poland somehow managed to finish ahead of USA and a very respectable 7th! This is actually the best women's relay result this season (but Gwizdon > Piton). Best relay legs: 1. Vittozzi, 2. Egan, 3. Herrmann, 4. Olsbu
-
My impression was that Ukaleq can use the points accumulated by her mother going forward even if she has no competition in her country. There are some entries based on nation's points like they have in alpine skiing? That's more or less how the extra six entries for Olympics in 2018 worked for teams outside Top 18(?) in the Nation's Cup (where like Japan took three of them on the men's side). So I wonder if this is to help Ukaleq have an easier path for the 2022 Olympics?
-
Yeah, that's the other part But Uiloq Slettemark only competed into her 50s to get the nation's quota for her daughter so I guess Ukaleq can start at IBU Cup level now? How those points work out exactly?
-
There is no Greenland Olympic Committee so she has no choice But there is a Greenland Biathlon Federation (of which her mother is President ) which is based in Norway. https://www.biathlonworld.com/about-ibu/member-federations/ It's the same why England, Scotland or Wales don't compete as independent nations at the Olympics. If you applied for a Danish citizenship I bet you'd be allowed to compete at the Olympics
-
Her father competed for Denmark at the Olympics already. Greenland is Denmark's dependent territory. Likewise people from Faroe Islands would compete for Denmark at the Olympics as well. Or people from Macau for China.
-
Right! I forgot how high finished back then. It's safe to say that was the one-hit wonder for Poliakova
-
But that's what makes the sport so popular! I bet everyone had more fun picking Johaug for golds in the Seefeld champs, right?
-
Has Poliakova ever worked for the relay?
-
I did some more checking and Tamara McKinney with 18 wins is the only other skier with more wins than Paris across both genders. So he's 4th all-time counting both men & women.
-
I'm pretty sure they will put I.Fialkova first even the first leg is usually the slowest tbh but these teams always wants to hide their weakest member on legs 2 or 3.
-
Nope. Franz Heinzer has 17 wins so 1 more than Paris. Lisa-Marie Moredod has 24 wins on the women's side.
-
Damn right. You'd think they've had no other bands like ever, I'd be playing this:
-
Just to confirm, Mowinckel suffered a torn ACL in that DH training crash.
-
For me it's Norge & Italia
