  1. I know that but she still gained the most time in the technical GS/SG middle sector. Old habits die hard!
  2. If slalom speciallist Michelle Gisin can finish 2nd here, Vonn could win racing without the ski poles
  3. Random teams having naturalized Americans in basketball is as common as naturalized Chinese in table tennis I believe Joe McNaull was the first American who played for Polish national team when he obtained our citizenship in 2000.
  4. Packers are pretty much done this season after another dismal game vs Vikings. Browns rolled back to 1950 and clowned the Bengals who were absolutely awful.
  5. Kot is fucking useless ever since he thought he could become the team leader ahead of Stoch. His ego hit him in the ass the last two seasons. Plus I simply can't stand his father in the TV studio
  6. This shows you how far ahead Shiffrin really is. This was a scrappy run from her but still faster than Vlhova who appeared to nail it.
  7. 16-22 to be exact. But it used to be worse when all the big guns started 1-7. You just can't have it in the speed events, the 16-23 system was scraped because they complained about 1-15 being irrelevant and a waste of time. Plus the best guys in the current system always choose bibs 5, 7, 9 and 11 almost all the time.
  8. If Michigan still gets to the playoffs after that beatdown then the whole system is rigged! This suits Harbaugh very well. Must be the most overhyped coach ever - and most overpaid right now. What a shitshow that was!
  9. Unless of course she grows too big to show this teenage excellence anymore? I find these freestyle skiing more like gymnastics, 16 yo are better off to steal the show than 24 yo.
  10. Stafford hasn't had a great season tbh. It's not like he throws some fringe guys open which usually makes the difference between top teams.
  11. Robert Kubica will be announced as full-time Williams driver tomorrow
  12. No Darya Virolaynen in the Russian team? Has she dropped off the boil so badly?
  13. Watched the second half on TV. Looks like Irish D forced some key stops to prevent at least two try drives from NZ. I have no idea how strong the NZ team was, maybe they send some back-ups for this Tour?
  14. Yeah, I'm familiar with the word "krasne". Would have never guessed the second part though. Btw, this is a Polish "lyzwa", not exactly your "lyza"
  15. I once asked a Finnish poster on some other forum about Krista Lahteenmaki's name and he said it meants "Tree by the lake" IIRC Would need a reminder on that if we have some Finnish posters here
  16. I always find it funny lyzovanie means skiing in Slovakian/Czech because a very similar sounding word "lyzwiarstwo" means skating in Polish. I had no idea how you call figure skating then Vlhova's masculine form is Vlha though, right? Therefore I looked up the oriole.
  17. I see that Vlha means 'oriole' in English? This is what her name comes from? It's perhaps a little less complicated than those Finnish names
  18. I remember the old Zandvoort F1 races, 1983 was probably the best of them when Piquet & Prost tangled in a forgotten incident so I know how that last corner looked like. It was the old Parabolica-like at Monza. I last watched a DTM race there ca. 2012-2013 and yeah, Tarzan is still the best overtaking spot for modern cars IMO.
  19. I'd rather settle for Zandvoort myself though that's old school track too. Do they still have that big sweeping bend in the final corner that leads to the S/F line? That could offer some passing into Turn 1. Tunnel Oost has the chicane put there like in the 80s? So it's no longer the killer corner? I didn't watch any races on Zandvoort for a while and missed this season's DTM round there so I don't recall exactly if they did some upgrades lately.
  20. Assen would be horrible for car racing, it's too narrow with too many chicanes to make it exciting for F1. It's like mixing Catalunya & modern Imola together. It works for bikes which don't have issues with the aero slipstreaming F1 is unable to deal with over the past several years.
  21. That's the first win for Poland in short track World Cup history!
