  1. I am sure there is one tiny village shop deep in the forests of Oregon that has an amazing selection of shoes. Similarly a village shop way up beyond the Norwegian Arctic Circle full of cross-country skis, another deep in the Black Forest that sells luges etc etc.
  2. Oi, Talay DQF she should know better!
  3. OK, it should be normal that young athletes improve every year in the early indoor season but it is always good to see.
  4. Mahuchikh 2.02 WR U20!
  5. There you go, NR for Salome Lang , 1.93 in the HJ. Must be cursing her luck with no World Champs...
  6. Oh sure, but it was only on US TV and expensive Pay Streaming. Could have mentioned also the Scottish National Championships last weekend. N But this is the first meet everyone gets to see. Should say also that this year’s performances do not count towards the postponed Worlds - clock will reset next January.
  7. Europeans (Torun, Poland) will be rescheduled with a two-week gap between them and the Worlds to give athletes the chance to double up. We have live international athletics on TV for the first time in 2020 tonight! The Karlsruhe meet is on ES in about an hour, Dusseldorf meet also live on ES on Tuesday.
  8. Seemingly, because of the shortage of snow they had built a really complicated twisting looping course and he wasn’t the only one to get confused. We have seen people lose medals because of this before.
  9. Nico Walter’s crew trashed about €20,000 worth of kit.
  10. Oh dear, Kuehn 0 for 5.
  11. It’s no fun if everyone hits everything!
  12. My favourite example of this is the St Jan’s Kerk in Gouda. On one side you have a set of stained glass windows celebrating His Catholic Majesty King Phillip II of Spain defending the One True Apostolic Faith against those those heathen heretical dogs, the rebellious hell-bound Calvinistic zeeguezen, the Dutch. One the other side, a set of stained glass windows celebrating the heroic divinely-inspired Dutch burgers defending the noble cause of religious liberty against that bloodthirsty tyrant and enemy of popular freedom, King Phillip II of Spain.
  13. Orange is in France, near Avignon. For a very long time, up until about the 1670s, it was actually ruled by the Dutch, and lots of the streets, buildings etc still have Dutch names.
  14. The Marseillaise has about a dozen verses, fortunately they don’t all get sung, although I think children have to learn them at School. British anthem has about five, but we don’t bother about the one where God sends General Wade to crush the rebellious Scots.
  15. Back to reality today, three misses on shoot 1.
  16. Back to Classic style for today’s Pursuits.
  17. Guess someone in NL has bought the exclusive.
  18. Tour Down Under is also available live on the GCN Racing YouTube Channel - the one-day preview criterium race is live now.
  19. Allez les bleus! Should be winning every week, though.
  20. still good shooting though, only +3 after 6.
  21. Commentators back on ES.
  22. No matter how bad people think the Eurosport commentstors are, it is still better than having to listen to Bavarian polka music.
  23. No drama from Fourcade.
  24. Managed to finish with blades on the ice both times today, so there is progress.
  25. OEB under heavy disguise....
