    Fialkova big early lead. Eckhoff awful second shoot. Aita Gasparin 0 0, looks good at this point.
  2. Grassmarket
    Eckhoff early fail...

    Good for Minsk, always lots of fans at their events.
  4. Grassmarket
    Doubt Windisch would have won even with a clear shoot, JT in shark mode now.

    Great skill from Doro, keeping both the ski manufacturer’s name & the Red Bull can in shot at the same time.

    Mini-meltdown from T. Boe!

    Short-cut to the beer tent for .

    France in trouble again.

    German second girl couldn’t believe she had to wait so long. Lots of crying for Julia Simon.

    Great from Vittozi, ready for the traditional stiletto-in-the-back handover.
  11. Grassmarket
    Disaster for on first shoot, gemiddeld/moyennante.
  12. Grassmarket
    Yeah, but they are Bahrain of International Biathlon, about as authentically Belgian as a Lidl wafel.

    Seems the only international TV coverage will be FINA’s own pay site http://www.fina.org/event/fina-diving-grand-prix-2020 This is the second-tier Diving competition - established stars compete in the World Series, starting in two weeks.

    Not only was Flo-Jo doped to her fingertips, but the wind-gauge was nobbled as wel. The thing that annoys me the most was that in the early 1990s the IAAF got absolute, definitive, tested in a court of law proof that all the DDR records were fake, but they were too incompetent to remove them. OK, it would have not fixed every single problem, but it would at least have cleared a lot of ground for honest athletes.

    Horse doping in Olympic Events is by no means a new thing. https://www.horsejournals.com/equine-doping

    I doubt it: the Olympic PV will probably take about four hours and he might have to jump 7-8 times before he can go for a WR. Both DuPlantis & Lavillenie set their records off pretty artificially short competitions. Dunno how many jumps he did in total - 2 or 3?

    Outdoor record only 6:14 to Sergey Bubka, 31/07/1994. Think this is the only major WR where the indoor mark is better than the outdoor. I suppose because 1) no wind & 2) much shorter competitions - fresher athletes.

    A big Mile race in New York last night, NRs & PBs all the way down. https://www.worldathletics.org/news/report/millrose-games-2020-elle-purrier

    Shortage of snow, so they had to change it.

    4 0 after 35 mins, i am officially on this one. tomorrow.
  21. Grassmarket
    OK that is the champ, obviously you have the likes of Andreas Wank which doesn’t work in a foreign language, but in your own native language...

    Bah! That is nothing! In the 1980 Moscow Olympics India fielded an all-Singh* 11 man field hockey team! *Singh is not really a name though, but an honorary title give to Sikhs.

    Sorry guys, just leads to a message with a lot of ę’s & ł’s which means that you can’t watch out of Poland,
  24. Grassmarket
    Yes, I know, but according to Herman Melville (Moby Dick) a Speksnijder was indeed a blubber cutter. However, in today’s IBU race there was actually an Italian girl called Lardschneider, which is the same thing.
  25. Grassmarket
    And it’s not just Slavic languages where people have weird names. I remember a 70s Dutch footballer called Zuurbier (sour beer) and there are a few Speksnijders - ie blubber cutter on a whaling ship!
