Another landmark goes. How many hours of my life did I spend installing & updating Adobe Flash for a 40 PC Computer Lab..... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55497353

Good to see & back in the Nations’ Cup result sheets this morning - obviously with no WC points yet they have to start alongside the Brits, Bosnians & Brazilians.

Swedish women are back, so no more wins for & .

Wrong number! Should be 666.

Yet will not benefit from the restructuring of the competition tomorrow.

Which Champs are you talking about? Belgrade 2022 Indoors - 19-20 March Oregon 2022 Outdoors - 15-25 July.

All these Russian Championship races from Izhevsk are now on the Russian Biathlon Channel on YouTube, so plenty to keep us going until the real thing comes back. https://www.youtube.com/user/russianbiathlon

First slalom win since dinosaurs ruled the Earth!

Quick, change the gate!

Well, all the Poles are rubbish so far, so I hope they are apologizing.

Having lots of latency/lag issues connecting here this last couple of days. Anyone else seeing the same, or is it Brexit-related DNS problems?

But like I said, a lot of the big names also suffered with the bad conditions, so there probably not many objections.

So the big German names who all finished outside the Top 12 get a re-jump, then?

All-Polish death match jump off: Only the winner gets to compete.

First win of the season for !

Julia Mancuso gets in trouble on social media as snowflakes complain about her playing with snowflakes. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9092327/US-ski-champion-Julia-Mancuso-defends-throwing-toddler-son-deep-snow.html

Lord, this is just awful watching at the moment. Every single snow-blower in Germany is mobilised for Eisinbichler’s jump. Going to be some big names eliminated early tomorrow....

No way that this can go on, bottom of the hill is utterly trashed! 2nd Run cancelled, Vlhova. Private jet probably grounded, though.

Lots of delays for those just logging in. Bormio Men’s DH delayed to Tuesday Bormio Super-G delayed to Wed Semmering Women’s Super-G 2nd Leg delayed by win for 15 mins.....not looking good though. Giant inflatable things coming loose from their moorings, heading off in the direction of Switzerland.

There’s kind of a tradition of people coming in as the red-hot in-form favourite & flopping, though.

The guys decided just to settle for an arm-wrestling & vodka drinking competition instead, then?

That brief four-five day time of the year when the only live sport is cyclo-cross.

Well, here in Lewis Hamilton won the official award, but I always think race drivers do only about 20% of the work. Tyson Fury was impressive, historically a British heavyweight has to be twice as good as his American opponent to win in Vegas. Otherwise I’d go for Theo Geoghan Hart for his improvised win in the Giro, but not really the strongest field by the end. Our best women overall did not get a chance to compete in their big events, so maybe Lizzie Deignan for some good World Tour wins, including La Course.

Will be awarded tonight here in .

Granerud the first to win 5 ski jumping WCs in a row & PBs for both , Boyd-Clowes 6th & Soukup 30th.
