Got your traditional "How do I get a VPN to 'cos it ain't on in my country" post here for the World Cross Country from Beograd on Saturday here.

The Moral of the Story is stick to your expertise. Gus Schumacher's had a big day winning in the World Cup. His big day testifying to Congress does not end so well.

Bobsleigh WC Lake Placid | Lake Placid, United States
Four-Man *
Gold- Team Friedrich (54.75)
Gold- Team Lochner (54.92)
Bronze- Team Ammour (55.03)
* Second run got cancelled, I’m assuming weather related so only the first run counted.
Actually a much weirder story than that! Cipulis crashed on the second run, which would have cost him 2nd Place in the World Cup but……his crash damaged the track which was eventually decided to be too dangerous to race, so his crash didn’t count!

Another win for Charlotte Bankes in
And she repeats with a trademark last to first move in about 20m. But sadly the early season loss of form costs her the season overall.

Wow! Just catching up from yesterday, but Adele Nicoll took silver in the Lake Placid bobsleigh. Only her fourth-ever start as pilot - she only started after Christmas!

Same in swedish nationals!
Has 250+ starters! Hardcore!
I remember about 20 years ago when I first started watching CC I was in a discussion on another web forum with a guy saying that it was a mistake for the FIS to get rid of the 50k TT. And I think he was right - we see huge gaps here, even between the experienced guys, never mind the club amateurs.

It does seem like the Brisbane games aren't in any real risk of being cancelled, but the big project (rebuilding the Gabba) seems less and less likely to happen.
Think the IOC needs to be taught the lesson that they don't get a brand new Pharoah's Tomb every time.

Planning to revive that great 1980s Institution the Friendship Games, both Summer & Winter! Thomas Bacholympicgoldmedalfencing1976 not very keen, but only because he never won any medals at it.

Cross Country Season not quite over yet. The Ski Classics season continues for another couple of weeks, although coverage is patchy depending where you are. Birkenbeiner on Sunday.
Then & both have National Championships this weekend. Norway's will be free to air - hey, let's do a sprint, a middle distance ITT and to finish it off a 50km, why not? Also para, Nordic Combined & even Telemark.

The BBC are also covering - at least they have Scotland’s games.

Diggins puts a decent points difference into Svahn in the 10k Classic this morning, so should guarantee the overall with one race to go, barring the unexpected.
