  1. Looks like the FIS has also approved making the alpine combined a team event starting next season, so still one run of Downhill and one run of Slalom but now with a different athlete skiing each leg.
  2. Some notes on this, in no real order: * Seems like it will be pretty hard to find a host for this, especially given ski flying is included. * Another step in the FIS growing their presence in freeride (hard to imagine they aren’t hoping to get this into the Olympics) * Mixed team event in dual moguls is exciting to me personally (would prefer a same gender team event but oh well) :P * Seems like the national team event in alpine skiing isn’t dead after all? I wonder if the FIS will change the format.
  3. Now that has stayed up and there is no risk of this being sour grapes - the world series going down to 12 teams is terrible, should still be up and should be promoted.
  4. Well, voted in Eurovision for the first time ever. Split my votes between and .
  5. So Alexander Rybak is a guest on the broadcast!
  6. Nah. The selection criteria are different now. Klimkait cannot be selected unless she is ahead of Deguchi in the Olympic ranking.
  7. Interesting, so anyone with an OQT at any point in the qualification period will be nominated if they finish top two at trials, regardless of their time at trials. Seems like a good change.
  8. Legally, SkiAndSnowboard.live . It’s a subscription service :/
  9. Reducing the number of teams that get to compete at a high level isn't going to improve the situation. If anything it will further increase the gap.
  10. Shrinking the men's world series to 12 team next year is just a real sign World Rugby doesn't have a lot of faith in 7s imo.
  11. Fun fact: I wasn’t an American when this thread got started :O
  12. Would be easier for her to do that if India allowed dual citizenship.
  13. I go by "Near" everywhere online (and that's what most of my friends IRL call me) so...
  14. wins!!! Not only is this a historic win for Czech baseball in it's own right, but this also puts them in the driver's seat for automatic qualification for 2026.
  15. What’s really improving their chances of qualification is the US doing well :P
  16. Amazing final runs by all three medallists in the men's half-pipe. Very dramatic competition.
  17. (I really wish the world cup had a serious South American and Oceania section in late (North hemisphere) summer, but that's just me)
  18. That seems like a somewhat ridiculous reason for a DQ?
  19. Clearly the team sprint is the best event in speed skating and it should be added to the Olympics immediately :P
  20. Men’s Team Sprint Final Results: - Christopher Fiola, Laurent Dubreuil, Antoine Gélinas-Beaulieu - Merijn Scheperkamp, Hein Otterspeer, Wesly Dijs - Bjørn Magnussen, Henrik Fagerli Rukke, Håvard Holmefjord Lorentzen
  21. Women’s Team Sprint Final Results: Gold - Brooklyn McDougall, Carolina Hiller, Ivanie Blondin Silver - McKenzie Browne, Erin Jackson, Kimi Goetz Bronze - Zhang Lina, Jin Jingzhu, Li Qishi
  22. Ukraine is one of the traditional powers in Counter Strike. So is Russia, obviously, but unlike all those fake esports (minus Grand Turismo) CS is actually popular in Ukraine.
  23. Including Counter Strike would give this event a whole lot more legitimacy.
