New info has come out, that  Sivert Bakken when found, was wearing his high altitude mask. As we know those masks reduce the oxygen, that goes in the body. And with Bakken's previous health conditions, that should have been a red light... The Norwegian Biathlon Federation has forbidden all of it's athletes to wear altitude masks until further notice.

Iva Moric is actually 2nd below line, probably even first below line as Germany might return one quota. 
 
I think they use the average of 3 best results during last 3 trimester. 
 
 

France currently has 3-4 men quotas in top 10 places under the line... If this situation will be on 18th january,who do you think they will nominate and how many slalom racers (3 or 4) if the quota will be for e.g. 7? There are many good names, like Noel, Rassat, Amiez, Muffat, Allegre, Alphand, Pinturault, Elezi, Vitale, ... Catch is that 3 of the top 4 slalom racers are not so good in giant slalom... 

didn't see where it was said that the ukrainian guy complained about it,and anyway yes personal and economic reasons are  perfectly valid reasons to choose another country as far as i'm concerned,athletes are not robots,they also need to get paid and be able to eat and live,some countries will be able to suply that better than others,cuban athletics in particular has many such problems,other countries will pull in athletes for money because what they have nationally doesn't cut it,all perfectly legal in the sport world,i remember as a child being upset about Donata rimšaite's flip to Russia and all the controversy about that,it took me a bit but i realized that it was ultimately dumb for me to be mad and that she had every right to leave an enviroment that was absolutely toxic for her.i don't know how it was for this guy but i don't think just because a war is going on means that your sport career MUST be put on hold or remain stagnant if there are better options available,that's just my thinking,in the end we do not pay these people's bills so i don't see a reason for the outrage,nationalism alone doesn't cut it for me here.

Just relax man, ok? Would you be happy if, for example, Janica Kostelic took Italian citizenship 20 years ago and started skiing for us? Exactly... Point of view always depends on the point of sitting...

He trains in Osijek,Croatia for some years and he told that he has not good relationships with Ukrainian committee.
In Osijek he found place to work and to live and he speaks Croatian and is very proud to represent Croatia in the future.

Ugh, what's with athletes receiving actual hate when they make a choice for their nationality? Especially if he had trained there for years, it's just not that weird to compete for them..

Ukrainian gymnast and silver olympic medallist from Paris + 2x 4th from Paris Illia Kovtun have requested Croatian citizenship. Now he is waiting approval from Ukrainian association or one year of without official competitions. He trains in Osijek,Croatia for some years.
In addition,European championships 2026 will be in Zagreb in August. Most probably,it will be his first competition for Croatia (if he won't be able to compete at the 2025 worlds).
We could say that Croatian men team with him and Tin Srbić (high bar silver from 2021 Olympics and ex world champion) and Aurel Benović (vault olympic 5th from 2024) will be very strong. Btw,Srbić and Benović were injured for these European championships. Benović won the world cup in Osijek and he is making even higher difficulty jump then in Paris and Osijek to become the new world champion.🇭🇷💪😏

The first trimester ended on the 22.12.24, which for sure means those results will not count. 2nd trimester ended on 26.01.2025. all results after that will count for sure. Not sure about the 2nd trimester as qualification period lasts until 18.01.2026. I would assume only last trimester of this season plus all events next year until 18.01 will count, but that’s my view. If correct the current list is not really saying much. 

I think (but really not sure) the current points take into account the whole season 24/25. For the Olympics only two trimesters will count from this season plus first trimester next year. 
I don’t know the trimester definition /dates but we can assume that all results before Christmas will not count. 

That is the tricky thing, I believe that the scores take three trimesters into account so some athletes will have scores that are too old by the time the olympics come. 

I see what you are saying, thank you. 

Croatia with 3 candidates 😳, but still long way to go

"raže"" nije točno napisano!!!
A ovo koliko možeš glupost nadrobit je da čovjek ne povjeruje. Jesi razočaran Kumrićem? Jesi sigurno. Dečko je bio neutješan i plakao. Promisli ako imaš čime (šta sumnjam) kako se osjećao Černogoraz, Krišto, pa i taj Kumrić koji za smiješnu naknadu marljivo 4 godine treniraju, da bi došli na najveću svjetsku pozornicu i ušli u besmrtnost, a onda im san propadne za milimetar. Toliko si isfrustriran da ti vjerojatno treba i pomoć. Rekao sam ti već nekoliko puta, barem nauči hrvatski jezik i pravopis. To bi kao pravi domoljub trebao biti preduvjet da možeš bilo šta reći. A kad naučiš pisati onda možda i shvatiš šta znači uložiti trud u nešto, pa ćeš bolje razumjeti da Palma Čargo leti na dasci i da bi tebe vjerojatno lopatom kupili kad bi se popeo na nju i da je dala sve od sebe da bude što bolja i boli je uvo za krkana kao što si ti.  
Sorry ostatku ekipe, ali ja ga stvarno ne mogu ignorirati!

Pa za Vorobevu je uspjeh da se uopće kvalificirala s obzirom na bolest i ozlijede, a i godine su tu već.
Prva 2 plova je sasvim korektno odradila, u 3. plovu je očito bila neka greška, najverojatnije krivi start. Taj plov će se ionako brisat treba nastavit dalje.

Vekic on clay? I won't be surprised if she loses to Bronzetti R1 tbh.

Vekić (what do you think about her chances?
1st round Bronzetti
2nd round Andreescu/Tauson
3rd round Gauff/Tomljanović
QF Putintseva/Kostyuk/Sakkari/Siniakova

Po meni u cijelom meču Pavić čak i lošiji, baš su nezainteresirano izgledali.

*Cernogoraz,a ne Crnogorac!!! 

Bravo Donna👏👏

završio je prvi dan kvalifikacija u trapu , možemo na kraju biti zadovoljni
dvojica imaju 74/75, njih osmorica 73/75 , njih sedmorica 72/75.  njih 17 je u igri i tu je sve otvoreno
 

Perfektne zadnje 2 serije, trenutno 6. no još trojica ispred njega pucaju. Prvi ima 74/75 bit će sve jako blizu.

Djokovic - Nadal is tomorrow in the afternoon  Perfect placement.
