Kubacki 112.0 hill record The Fluke Man strikes back!

Team mixed NH about to start. has this in the bag? is eyeing an 8th place finish and the government funding that comes with it (more important for the girls tbh). I believe 5th is our best place available if the girls perform at their top level. But I expect 6th-7th.

I'll let our German expert bitch about the finish! gets 8th (best WCh team finish ever) and secures the government funding which was the main goal!

Let's face it, nordic combined is probably the least followed event of the entire FIS World Cup series. It's like luge on skis for Germany so obviously every German pretends to be an expert. There is no discussion available because Netherlands & Poland play zero part in any success in this event (but we're at our best since the early 90s right now thanks to a bunch of ex-ski jumpers who instead of quitting the sport actually switched over to NC). So I speak my mind and I don't follow any majority because I don't read any NC press and there's like ZERO TV coverage for nordic combined in Poland. TVP Sport doesn't even broadcast the NC events here, they have a lenghty ski jumping studio instead However I see that Gruber is still the best skier Austria has and that's enough for me not to call his performances random also given his past success. If Kircheisen did the same you'd be praising the old fox but Gruber? And I don't even care about the usua Germany vs Austria cc beef which probably explains why you dislike Gruber so much

Is it closer from Krasnoyarsk to Moscow or maybe Tokyo? Siberia in March? Not my primary choice for anything!

Swoboda with the fastest time in the 60m heats but she can always get tight when it matters the most. Karolina Koleczek flops in the 60m H heats to join Iga Baumgart-Witan's shocker yesterday

Gruber has build a huge gap on the first relay leg... probably another completely random performance

I believe Vasaloppet takes the early morning slot tomorrow (8 am CET)

Not watching 50k mass start is pure evil

I literally watched 5 mins of this race. No need to waste time on another Norway 1-2

KJT 4983 pts for gold. Probably needed like 5 cm in LJ to crack 5000.

If there was an Austrian in Top 5 after 1st round I think they would have delayed the event and tried to clean the tracks like they did before Johansson's jump in the first round. But there was no point in helping Geiger & Peier And Kraft protected his bronze medal too.

Me too The fact remains Polish journalists were ready to crucify FIS, Hifer & Sedlak after the 1st round and now they won't eat a single crow most likely. Stefan Hula said the event should have been cancelled but it's our last hurrah anyway. In 2021 we'll be two years older and even wind & snow won't help us again.

1-2. Fuck everyone!!! Most luck we've had since 1972

It's in the Guinness Record Book? https://gulfnews.com/going-out/society/sharjah-raises-worlds-largest-flag-1.2119329

Makes you wonder why? Zuzulova was never that popular despite having a similar potential for success only wrecked by injuries? Maybe you shoud change your avatar now?

Ciric with bleached blonde hair looks much worse than in the picture above

Two DQ in men's 1500m heats including Filip Ingebrigtsen.

This could get ugly fast. If they only were tipped off about the cc skiers and suddenly found the Tutenkhamon's tomb instead?

Takanashi could end up like Daniela Bartova & Emma George, reduced into oblivion by history moving forward. Just wait until women begin to jump on the big & mammoth hills. Takanashi is like the dead-ball era in baseball or pre-Open era in tennis, or pre-shot clock in NBA.

Nope. Biles & Ledecky are not the best their sport has ever seen. Women's ski jumping is a global event for a mere decade. Takanashi's peak was the highest so far but the throne is vacated for me because she never won individual gold medal anywhere.

You're the one who majority people disagree with here Your ego is too big for you see the whole picture.

Yet these champs are held in his home country. I guess you don't accept the possibility he could have sacrificed the World Cup to focus on these champs - potentially his last ever? And you said top Germans are taking it easy in the post-Olympic season? Gruber could be doing the same and yet you call his medal random?

Team wants to defend the overall 1st place in medals' table from previous EIC. Jakub Krzewina (400m) is the only late withdrawal due to knee injury.

Gruber still had the 4th fastest skiing time? (Hakola had the best, Riiber 6th). I don't see how being Top 10 in both jumping & skiing makes a Top 3 finish random? Germany obviously lost too much on the jumping hill and Rydzek is just about the only one who made serious inroads but over a minute behind at the start made his challenge futile. Riessle didn't seem to even try but can't blame him since a Top 10 finish is not what's satisfying for him. Szczepan Kupczak's 18th place is the highest finish for a athlete in this event since Tadeusz Bafia finished 17th in Seefeld 1985
