  1. OEB under heavy disguise....
  2. Penalty loops on the first shooting for SVK - into 3rd.
  3. That train’s going to be late, the driver will be fired. National humiliation for Swiss Railways.
  4. Didn’t expect that. Klaebo looking like a very tired man at the moment.
  5. Another good day for ‘s Andrew Young, should get a nice ten minutes or so in the Big Comfy Chair.
  6. For those of us in Britain, or if you have VPN cleverness, then live rights to the Tour Down Under next week have been picked up by the Freesports Channel. Starts in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
  7. Wow how many places did Fak gain with that last clear shoot? Must have been about 20.
  8. That’s a great win for Daniel!
  9. Must admit I thought Makarainen would never get another win, well done her.
  10. Fialkova 5 misses!
  11. Impressive consistency from ‘s Tania Vicenzino in today’s Women’s Bobsleigh WC in La Plagne - she crashed on the final corner on both legs, but managed to get to the finish line in both, so recorded a top 20 finish. Still, lots of time to practice between now & Cortina 2026.
  12. Looks like Esther Ledecka now prefers Alpine Skiing (Prize Money - 60,000 Swiss Francs a race) to Snowboard PGS (Prize money - enough Swiss Francs to buy a Sandwich) for some reason.
  13. Always think it is lucky they don’t have rifles in cross-country, there are a few times recently where the Russians & Norwegians would definitely have used them.
  14. Italy take all the pressure off Carrara by having their meltdown early.
  15. You are in trouble, mate.
  16. We have snow in Oberhof! Not enough to reopen the closed pistes, but makes everything look less like a the kind of rugby pitches I used to play on when I was at school.
  17. Another common one is trying to clear your foresight when you still have a round in the chamber! Sounds stupid, but people do it all the time. Also shooting a competitor.
  18. Bit of an upset as Steu & Koller of take a rare win on German ice.
  19. Just catching up now and all my prophecies of DOOM for Oberhof yesterday are being fulfilled. There was a picture today of a rubber bath duck in one of the shooting range ponds. . Just hope they have enough snow in a warehouse somewhere for the weekend.
  20. Yeah, I suppose German TV money is to biathlon what NBC money is to the Olympics so we have to go to Germany twice a year even though somewhere like Nove Mesto would nowadays get a better crowd & more modern TV friendly tracks.
  21. Bah! I would put Charleroi, Belgium up against any city on the planet as the most depressing place in the world! OK, it was never the capital of the Gulag, but the huge disused steelworks in the middle of town and the numerous slag-heaps in suburbs give it an atmosphere all of its own. Dunno why we keep going to Oberhof, really. Weather is always terrible, there’s never any snow, and crowds are never that great by modern standards.
  22. I know that - in 1941 the Nazis were spending all the money they had looted to try to buy popularity and to convince Germans (and new Germans) that life was normal. So I am sure that was why they built it.
  23. Did not know that! Ahem! Just revealed that the Hill at Bishofshofen was built in 1941.....you’d have thought they would have had other things on their mind that particular year,
  24. For viewers in GB, the BBC are doing some coverage on their Web streaming service. Opening Ceremony is first up.
