Wow, clear shoot for Iva Moric, that is unbelievable under those conditions.

have a prospect! Anna Berger ski speed is pretty good….just the nine misses though.

Beijing conditions for the girls! Cold & a blizzard. Geez, people could ski off-piste & never be seen again.

Ole-Einar was first married to biathlete Natalie Santer; don't know if there were children.

Create an artificial city-centre course - it's been done before, there's a regular one in Moscow, not to mention the Steel Factory Big Air we had in Beijing - for both Alpine Team and the two Snowboard Parallel Slalom events to ensure absolute equality between lanes. Also brings the event to a new audience. Mixed team snowboard cross - as others say, there is no way this can be made into a workable, fair event. Biathlon pursuit - Hold time trial mini sprint four shoot qualifiers on Day 0 and use that as the basis for full 60 person pursuit on Day 1. No penalty loops, just a 15 second* time penalty for each miss. *Or whatever time penalty is needed to produce a roughly three minute gap between first and sixtieth place at that start.

And another race starting tomorrow on ES Player/Discovery, the Tour of Galicia. That is Galicia , not Galicia or Galatea . Always good racing in these Spanish regional mini-tours. https://ograncamino.gal/?lang=en

Adam Kszczot takes his farewell to Polish fans. Will race in Madrid & then I guess to the Comms mike or whatever. Big win for Ewa Swoboda over Elaine Thompson-Herah, so she’ll be looking forward to Belgrade.

Another Olympic drug test fail - Laura Barauero from Pairs Figure Skating. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-olympics/60480117

Strangely enough....I am. After only a week, couple of minutes gained, down to 53-55 from 55-57. Feel like Ben Johnson, without the yellow eyes.

Yeah, German pols just holding out for bigger bribes is all.

Catching up with indoor athletics, new cycling season, new rugby league season. Got four-weeks more winter sports to come of course.

We all have some serious catching up to do before the Omloop next weekend starts the proper season. Tour of Oman Provence Assorted Spanish one days Andalucia Algarve Alpes-Maritimes United Arab Emirates (starting today) Probably more.

Would have been cancelled in any other context. Well, there is only one other context.
