Time to start contest "What the hell this picture shows?" 
 
It's possible. There has been annouced list of 27 sports from which in September they going to choose 20. This is a full list:
- archery
- athletics (track & field)
- badminton
- basketball 3x3
- boxing
- break dancing
- canoeing (slalom and sprint)
- cycling (road and mtb)
- fencing
- gymnastics (don't know which one, maybe all of them)
- judo
- modern pentathlon
- rugby 7
- shooting
- sport climbing
- swimming
- table tennis
- triathlon
- volleyball (beach and indoor)
- weightlifting
- wrestling
- beach handball
- electric trial (not sure is this a proper English name of this event)
- karate
- mountain running
- teqball
- summer ski jumping (there they are  )

No it can't. The venue that will be build for Games will have 700m long, if I remember correctly. It can't organize all canoeing competitions, not to mention rowing. Rowing is possible only on Malta in Poznań but organizers want Games only in Małopolska. I don't know what's wrong with rowing and canoeing in Poznań and track cycling in Pruszków (assuming that track will still be open in 2023) but who am I to judge?  

That is disappoiting. I'm glad that program is expanding, that we have modern pentathlon, rugby 7 or climbing but without athletics and swimming this event will never get enough attention.

Norway controls FIS already. Do they really have to control ISU as well? Hell no. Name me ONE Norwegian figure skater not named Sonja Henie who won a World Championship gold medal   I'm pretty sure they will be put back to their place and rightfully so. Norway in figure skating doesn't mean anything. It's like Romania or Poland trying to tell USA how the baseball World Series should be run

It's not just a Polish surname. He was born in Polish family, he speaks Polish, he even was active in Polish community in Vilnus. Of course I'm not saying that he should change nationality or something, but it's not just a name  

Can we have Karol Dombrovski back? He'd be an immediate upgrade for our men's team

Żyła and Kubacki in top3  Also way better jump for Stoch in second serie. 
 
Good to see these results after dissapointments in cc skiing and biathlon...

We beats by 91-61 
 
And we played without few our best players! 
 
I hope that in Monday we will beat Israel as well, then we will secure our spot to these Championships

Felix Loch is back! Sort of feels like East Germany is back as well...

Just click "Final"

I'm so surprised to see that already in first race of the season Monika Skinder scored some points to world cup standing 
 
Good luck girl in next races, I hope that she will have more points in other races  

@rafalgorkaif you'll made a new thread for that, why not? But maybe year before olympics?

but are they serious or what?   
 
more and more disgusted by the ioc and by the world federations...
 
they're just making a joke of themselves and of the olympics...
 
I feel more and more that I'm wasting my life following this sh*t...

Maryna lost in her first race, but anyway it's very good result to her being in top16 in World Cup event! I'm glad of this result  

I made compilation what combination qualifications and finals would look like if athletes would take the same results as in classic competition.
 
Women's Final:
1.  Meshkova 6 pts.
2.  Gejo 45 pts.
3.  A. Kałucka 56 pts.
4.  Krasovskaia 64 pts.
5.  Caulier 70 pts.
6.  Adamovska 80 pts.
7.  N. Kałucka 96 pts.
8.  Meul 126 pts.
 
Men's Final:
1.  Luzhetskii 20 pts.
2.  Lehmann 28 pts.
3.  Collin 40 pts.
4.  Kruder 48 pts.
5. Iarilovets 63 pts.
6.  Boldyrev 64 pts.
7.  Marcus 108 pts.
8.  Peharc 140 pts.
 
To be fair, I'm not sure if there will 6 or 8 athletes in final. I counted as it was at WCh.
 
 

That's a guaranteed PB for the Polish Caterpillar!

Gąsienica-Daniel! What a result!

Mixed team events in individual sports should be banned imo.

Absolutely accurate . I calculate full rankings after 2/3 
 
Combined European Champs.xlsx

Not exactly. Her mother is Czech, father German. She was born in Prague but her family moved to Germany when she was kid. First she competed for Germany but not anymore.

Tatiana Hufner is now a member of the Italian luge team
She will work with Armin Zöggeler and his staff about the starting technique, one of the historical problems of our athletes
