Meyer (100/125, 101/125) FWIW, last place in qualifiers in Paris has 107/125, so these are not good results at all.

Future of Sport Commission released its report today, among its recommendations is immediately increasing funding to the sport sector (NSO's). and providing incentives to merge NSO's with similar mandates (such as merging all aquatics under one banner). https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/future-sport/participate/interim-report.html Pretty lengthy but if you have some time its a must read.

Victor Lai into the quarterfinals at the Worlds!

Yes its still there.

Apparently the track cost millions of euros to build in France for the World cup. I think that is a non starter.

Yea that was my understanding too, but it could be different for the Winter Games.

Apologies, I went ahead and subscribed, "Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, four additional sports could be added to the traditional Olympic program in 2030. Ski mountaineering, freeride (skiing and snowboarding), telemark, speed skiing, sled dog racing, ice cross, 3x3 hockey, ice climbing, trail running, and cyclocross are on the starting list. With varying degrees of chance of ultimately appearing on the 2030 Olympic agenda." We can cross out hockey. It implies 4 of these will be chosen. My guess would be Ski Muntaineering, Freeride, cyclocross and cross-country, with ice cross in fifth.

The problem is Nordic Combined will be an IOC decision, while any new sports will be coming from the Organizing Committee.

According to this article: "Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, four additional sports could be added to the traditional Olympic program in 2030. Ski mountaineering, freeride (skiing and snowboarding), telemark, speed skiing, dog racing." Now I don't think dog racing is one of them https://www.ledauphine.com/jeux-olympiques/2025/08/18/jo-2030-les-sports-additionnels-le-facteur-x-du-projet-olympique Not sure how reliable this source is

Thoughts on the overall performance of the team?
