  1. Good to see Elisabeth Maier nėe Elisabeth Vathje back!* She omce did one of the all-time great co-comms with Martin in which she mostly just listed all the species of dogs all the various athletes had ever had as pets. Don’t recall that she was invited back. * Hubby is Austrian so she lives there.
  2. As much as Women’s Nordic Combined does!
  3. Have out-performed expectations by qualifying two for Saturday.
  4. Eckhoff gives herself a chance for the Pursuit. Lots of good days for & .
  5. Good skiing for Davidova as well, just one miss.
  6. Early exit for Justine B-B. Tachizaki leads, another “get a screenshot” moment. Another great race from Alimbekava!
  7. Ahem! Some of us were around when her parents were competing. Greenland is not an Olympic nation, though - they had to compete for Denmark.
  8. In flying you can be in the air for anything up to five seconds, so it’s a lot more difficult to hold an aerodynamic posture. Also crazy dangerous, there’s an unofficial minimum age requirement, so only experienced jumpers get entered.
  9. New UCI rules for concussion in cycling. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/55199275
  10. The good news - or at least the delayed bad news - is that the World Indoor Tour goes ahead, with Karslruhe January 29th as the first major Gold Standard event.
  11. Oh this us on! Top news, thought it had been cancelled, but in fact it’s just moved to Ruhpolding from Gelsenkirchen.
  12. I notice on the FIS site that there are now training runs scheduled for Thu & Fri, so I guess rescheduling.
  13. Story I’ve heard on a British board is that Sam Atkin was only in the race as a pacemaker for 5000m, but once he’d done his job he didn’t step off, slotted into the pack and got round in a QT! Also in the UK all-time top 10.
  14. Perhaps the idea is there are at least 2 semis (each 90 mins)semis & then a final. So like three football matches in one day? I’m guessing less than 36 competitors as well.
  15. Germany not even on the podium! Shouldn’t laugh, just bad luck with the weather , could happen to anyone ....
  16. Hanna Oeberg got ice-water for blood, fast & clear. Eckhoff clear! Eckhoff 10/10....
  17. Mini-meltdown for JT Boe. Sweden on a charge.
