Jurickson Profar will play for

I guess US bookies will have some bets on which game ends on a walk-off pitch clock violation first already? Royals vs Tigers would be a good idea

Which is odd, since Skinder (together with Marcisz, more than with Kaleta) definitely seemed very promising not that long ago. Still fairly young though, not even half of Mourão's age, so there's hope  

Justyna Kowalczyk gave Skinder access to her coaching "know how" and training methods as assistant to Veretelny which resulted in her getting great results as a teenager. But when Veretelny was let go Kowalczyk left with him and moved to biathlon which resulted in Skinder's results plateau in the last couple of seasons. Instead of being a sprinting Top 20 regular she struggles to make the QF so it's like two steps back and I feel this talent will be wasted. While Sylwia Jaskowiec was ruined by injuries before, Skinder had better perspectives from a younger age but it's not looking good right now...

Jaque Mourao finished just behind  Skinder and Kaleta which tells you more about the state of Polish cross country than anything else.

30th place for Federica Sanfilippo

WTA stays in Mexico for Monterrey 250 (also another 250 in Austin) and random trivia for @hckošice Marie Bouzkova & Anna Karolina Schmiedlova meet for the 3rd time in WTA MD and all three matches were played in Mexico

Camila Giorgi wins Merida 250 beating Rebecca Peterson 7-6(3) 1-6 6-2 in the final

Fencing is almost like ski jumping. You have an impression only like 6-7 countries are good at it but those who are seem unbeatable. At least we don't have the old Italy vs Hungary two-man show

17.5 for a horrendous landing wobble for Bjoerseth

Klimec barely avoided a fall but Slovenia will have to settle for bronze most likely...

Hubert Hurkacz wins Marseille 250 over Benjamin Bonzi 6-3 7-6(4) in the final. That is ATP title #6 for Hurkacz

Peterson was down 0-4 in the final set and won six games in a row. Peak WTA.

Camila Giorgi beats Katerina Siniakova 7-5 7-6(2) to complete the final line-up! 

@JoshWe have a special thread for ATP results too

Snow in February is nothing, even in California. It snowed once in Nazareth, PA in April

Piotr Żyła 105 meters in 2nd round and defends the NH title from 13th after the first jump

Yevhen Marusiak 103 meters in the 2nd round - new hill record and Top 20 finish guaranteed

Barbora Krejcikova wins the Dubai 1000 over Iga Świątek 6-4 6-2.

Merida 250 semi-finals still ahead:

Rebecca Peterson vs Caty McNally

Camila Giorgi vs Katerina Siniakova

Wind havoc all around and compensation points shuffle the pack. Kraft leads after round 1 but Top 10 is within 5 points of each other

Ipcioglu, Urlaub and Marusiak have qualified for the 2nd round!

Zografski with the longest jump 99.5 is still waiting

You know the gate has to be lowered when Andrew Urlaub jumps 98 meters 

Formula E in Cape Town just finished. Been a crazy race with wild pass for the win by AF da Costa.

Waiting for the NH ski jumping WCH.

Andersson wins ahead of Karlsson and Slind.

On a different note, apparently the organizers have badly overpriced the tickets and the audience is totally in the gutter. Now they cut the prices in half hoping to salvage something for week two...

I watched ski jumping team event so I didn't miss anything

Last round to go. Germany has the gold in the bag, only 9 pts between three teams for two remaining medals. Kriznar needs a monster jump to save the home pride...

Poland finished dead last 8 pts behind USA but Annika Belshaw was DQ for irregular suit. A complete disaster for us but what do U expect when an active nordic combined skier took over as coach last season (Szczepan Kupczak, he's retired now)
