Oberhof has always been a difficult stage with bad weather and fog.

Wierer and Vittozzi won't be competing in Oberhof, but Giacomel will be there. Vittozzi is clearly aiming for peak form in February and is giving up on the fight for the overall World Cup standings, while Wierer, at 35, has announced from the biggining of season, that she will be skipping some races. https://www.oasport.it/2025/12/biathlon-wierer-e-vittozzi-saltano-oberhof-per-allenarsi-i-convocati-dellitalia-per-la-coppa-del-mondo/

Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.

So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country.

And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.

Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.

Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.

After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.

If Jeanmonnot and Brasaiz are against Simon, perhaps they should have dropped Simon to improve the team spirit. Especially since there was the possibility of dropping Simon for her bad behavior. One thing is conflicts like the Vittozzi-Wierer on Italy NT some times ago, but money theft within the team is quite another. Simon clearly has a serious problem with himself.

Pensi che Brignone parteciperà a 3 gare o solo a SG e Gig, per esempio?

Despite everything, Stalin gave up: Finland, Greece, Austria, Yugoslavia (there were no USSR troops there). I don't think Putin would have given up on these countries, because even Stalin was more rational than he is. The Communist Party even limited Stalin, Brezhnev etc., who had to take its opinion into account, and Putin is like some old tsar who does 100% of what he wants and the all of the country just applauds him.

Chissà chi gareggerà nello slalom alle Olimpiadi per l'Italia? Ad oggi, dovrebbero esserci solo Della Mea e Peterlini. Collomb non ha ancora segnato un solo punto in CDM...

But the conflict between Simon vs Braisaz and the rest of the squad still continues?

Some times ago there was only sport and now there is sport and army, although many of them die in war because Putin doesn`t respect the lives of his own people.

What does California have in common with the Russia we're writing about here? Slums and poor neighborhoods exist and have always existed in every wealthy country and city.
