  1. Big money, good lawyers for the liar sinner - now back to South Tyrol Monaco to take some boosters in time for Roland-Garros.
  2. this is not a mixed sex event though, the only mixed one was axed from the program. It's FIS being stupid.
  3. Another show before the final
  4. She won a medal 6 years ago in the same event
  5. opening ceremony in the middle of the event, how beautiful.
  6. This heat system format in snowboardcross is much more suitable for a big championship event, they should use it at the Olympics as well.
  7. She has competed for Brazil some 20 days ago...OAsport writers must have taken long holidays and needed more time than usual for their "copy, paste and add a clickbait title/intro" article
  8. Nah, they'll be in the same pot for the draw of the playoff paths.
  9. Work in progress Imane Khelif Lautaro Martinez Kaylee McKeown Rebeca Andrade Karlos Nasar Summer McIntosh Leon Marchand Militiadis Tentoglou Adriana Ruano Kristof Milak Veddriq Leonardo Jasmine Paolini Lisa Carrington David Popovici Dusan Mandic Tadej Pogacar Rodri Armand Duplantis Marco Odermatt Yaroslava Mahuchikh Lee Kiefer
  10. They've likely hidden other big names' bans in the past. It looks like this is the way things go when the money involved become too much.
  11. Tennis is basically like an American sports league in regard to doping issues, sanctions are a joke and/or kept hidden.
  12. IMO the Italian federation was right in not giving to that financial and political blackmail - had they accepted it, plenty of more established athletes in snow sports could have asked for more under the threat of changing nationality. It's not like they had a sports almanac from the future saying that that 15yo girl would have won 5 olympic gold medals and 5 overall world cups.
  13. Nonsense. Chamizo moved to Italy, married an Italian, he's still here after many years and was essentially banned from competing for Cuba. Colturi's tie to Albania is that the Albanian federation had invested a ton of money in her mother's business (élite and very costly academy for young skiers), and then gave her a role, and probably another big salary, as a director in exchange for the pomise of their first winter Olympic medal. A better comparison is to that archer who competed for Ivory Coast because her father had a big clothing business in the country.
  14. Because they want to be able to say they they respected the official athlete quota of (whatever the number is). Same reason for not counting alternates that will surely partecipate, it's not a practical matter but a political one.
  15. Wtf, did he randomly drop 12 seconds from his best?
