    Huge breaking news: Novak is officially out of the Australian open due to health problems!

    So he’s in secondary inspection? I used to get send to secondary all the time when entering the US, you can’t leave until they let you and you aren’t allowed to communicate with the outside world.

    Oh, if Tennys thinks Australian can't host a grand slam because Australian customs and border security are prone to unreasonably and arbitrarily denying entry to people, sometimes even for political reasons, then we may want to talk about cancelling the US Open too xD I like to joke that I became an American citizen to limit my interactions with DHS. It's only really half a joke.

    The final climb is literally the only good thing about the Tour xD

    Also worth noting: the women are currently looking like they will miss the Olympics entirely. Their first athlete is currently ninth(!) on the reserve list. The American men will qualify two or three jumpers, meanwhile.

    Like, they should require vaccination or they shouldn’t. I don’t care that much either way. What is unacceptable is letting one crybully be exempt from the rule because he’s a big name.

    At least it's not a sub-tropical city this time :P This will certainly be a very unique looking Winter Olympics.

    Heh, sadly I think the last time a Canadian-American man played in the Aussie Open was in 2013 (Jesse Levine). So not this year

    Kind of funny that she has three world cup wins, three World Championship gold medals and an Olympic gold, none of which are in any of the four "core" disciplines. Weird career.

    As always, one rule for the top 1% and another rule for the rest of us.
  11. NearPup
    Well so much for the course not holding up…

    It’s where alpine skiers and grass skiers meet.

    Watch Kramer win the mass start from a speculative breakaway just to mess with all of us.

    Souza’s injury had nothing to do with aerials. She got injured while skiing recreationally on a public trail, not during training. Aerials is pretty far down the list of most dangerous sports at the winter games tbh.
  15. NearPup
    He won’t be going to the Olympics due to injury. If he was healthy a top 10 would be possible.
  16. NearPup
    What happened?
  17. NearPup
    Glad he made it given he posted the 4th best time in the world cup this year...

    That's the maddening thing, this is someone who clearly has the potential to be the greatest Winter Olympian in the history of New Zealand. Why isn't the NZOC rolling out the red carpet for him?
  19. NearPup
    It’s more the principle of the thing. The US federation is on record saying Wright would be selected if available. If he is snubbed by New Zealand why would he keep competing for them when another country, with much more depth in the sport mind you, was not just willing but practically begging to send him to the Olympics? When one country wants you and another doesn’t, you compete for the country that wants you.
  20. NearPup
    Which is why athletes who have the opportunity to represent a country with sane selection criteria should leave the New Zealand team for a team that actually appreciates their talent and their potential. Not selecting a 19 year old who has scored world cup points in biathlon is malpractice unless you have a ridiculous amount of depth in that sport, there shouldn’t even be a discussion over whether or not to select him. The Americans will gladly support Wright if New Zealand decides he isn’t good enough for then.
  21. NearPup
    If the Olympic committee don’t select him then he should absolutely switch to the US. Talk about an NOC being ungrateful, the fact that his selection is even in question is ridiculous. This is an athlete almost any other NOC would be extremely happy to select.
  22. NearPup
    Do you know when they make the team announcement?
  23. NearPup
    This will be a complicated team to select on the men’s side… the max quota cut to nine per NOC is just unreasonable.
  24. NearPup
    N’tab should really build an ice rink in Senegal and switch nationality at this point. This is two Olympics in a row where he would have been selected by virtually any other NOC.

    There is nothing more exciting in speed skating than what happened in pair 5: a drag race to the line to win the pair, along with a close race with the clock. One of the best speed skating race I’ve seen.
