That is a nice feature, but overall I dislike the new design. The old one was completely fine, one of the best sports app UIs in my opinion. They removed a bunch of features, like cup standings and medal stats on the athletes' pages or the ability to follow an entire national team, not just individuals. Also why does the Predictor Challenge need to open separately in a browser now?

Fantastic performance from Peťa yesterday!!! Let's hope that continues through the rest of the season. Also nice to see the team getting competitive again, congrats to Liensberger! Let's hope that at least the women's downhills in Zermatt will go as scheduled... Otherwise FIS might abandon this idea for next season.

eliminated by in group stage again wow... First the men in 2018, now the women!

Pogi noooo It's over now. Vingegaard with an inhuman performance this week.

Vondroušová wooo The first unseeded finalist in the Open era too!

This is seriously such an exciting Tour Last year it was my first time following the race closely, but I must admit I was already getting bored by the end of the second week. This year not at all

Does anyone understand the current open sales phase? It says that tickets should be released periodically, but also that the current sale focuses on venues outside Paris. I'm not sure if that only applies to this batch of tickets or to the whole phase and there will be no more Paris tickets released outside of resale.

Well, finally someone outside the Big Six (USA, CAN, SWE, FIN, CZE, RUS) and Switzerland is going to win a medal. It will be either Latvia's first or Germany's first since 1953

Wow, with some of these biathletes I feel like I didn't even get to know them over the last few seasons and they're already retiring...

Latvia wooooo

Well, glad we had gotten 6 cheap tickets during the first phase, even if not all of them are exactly what we wanted. Was hoping to snatch one more slalom, fencing or tennis ticket this time...but no affordable ones remained when we got our slot yesterday. Hoping everyone else here will still be able to get what they wanted or close. Still with any ticket there's at least gonna be the option to watch other events on outside screens and feel the atmosphere inside the city. Sidenote: Our affordably-priced AirBnB booking for the event (partly paid-for already) got cancelled...of course.

This applies to all FIS competitions, but I feel like it's most relevant in cross-country. FIS has just announced full implementation of the fluor wax ban starting next season. FIS to fully implement fluor wax ban at start of 2023-24 season (fis-ski.com)

IBU together with FIS has just announced the full implementation of the fluor wax ban from the 2023/24 season IBU implements full fluor ban (biathlonworld.com)

And let's not forget Mari Eder (Laukkanen) also bidding farewell! That finish area celebration almost got me in tears, why would you do that to me Definitely one of the most emotional moments in biathlon since I started watching it.
