To the people saying that JTB is going to run away with the golds, Ostersund is one of his worst venues. Watch out for Peiffer, I have a hunch that the sprint gold is going to Germany.

That's why I'm the one to welcome you

Welcome to the LAPPED bus, we hope you enjoy your stay

My top 3 is top 3, feels like a trap

Honestly, if I had a 4th pick for the prediction, I would have went for Sweden.

For the pure shock value

Oh, after some searching I found the article. Well, that's sad. Another athlete with a huge potential gone, especially in the winter sports scene Well, her career was rather tragic though. A lot of injuries, a lot of disagreements with the federation (they highly opposed her training abroad) and I'm certain there's a lot more stuff that never went public. I thought she was trying to come back after her latest injury, but she gave up after that final one. With no news on Salvijus for a long time, I'm wondering how he's doing and if he's training at all.

I see, so Agnė Sereikaitė has not fixed her injuries as of yet and Salvijus Ramanauskas is possibly out with injuries as well

On the topic of no information, @heywoodu . I think I'd have a higher chance to find out what's going to happen to me in the following ten years of my life, than finding out if anybody from Lithuania is actually participating in these championships

I wonder when will smaller teams (as well as with other less popular sports) eventually understand that regularly posting and informing their fans on what's going on is eventually going to lead them to more people being interested? At the end of the day, people wanna know shit. For example, I used to write my LLAF buddies or athletes that I know to find out when athletics competitions are starting in my hometown. Eventually, they're becoming better at that, but it only helps the people that are actively looking. The problem of empty stands during competitions is actually reaching the people that are not interested and to make them interested. Playing "Guess your World Championships team" is not a game that many people want to play, but our biathlon page is updated once a year it seems, because in the active athlete section we have retired ones and those that came back out of retirement are nowhere to be seen

I correctly guessed our team, all of the seven biathletes that I mentioned by name

More than ten Polish users in this forum, I'm pretty sure that @rybak shouldn't be the only one that has any interest in music I'm an OG that remembers the days when Poland had a massive jury, if rybak is MIA, someone could join up to keep the perfect attendance for Poland.

Well, as always, the Lithuanian biathlon team is not announced. Good thing we're small and I have some connections Tomas Kaukėnas, Vytautas Strolia, Karol Dombrovski, Gabrielė Leščinskaitė and Natalija Kočergina have already travelled to Ostersund. I assume that Linas Banys will join the team after his races in Sjusjoen to form the men's relay. There are still four athletes that technically could make an appearance, but I highly doubt that we'll see them, unless perhaps Ana Jesipionok will travel together with Linas to start in a race or two.

Well, I definitely went all out in my biathlon prediction, it's gonna be rather bold, but statistics and performance based as well. Although this might backfire on me a lot more compared to my past predictions.

@mrv86 You'll need to find a new Switzerland to send your votes to

There are certain rumours that Lithuania might be sending their least successful artist to TISC

Well, you would need to nominate a song by an Australian artist that's been released after January 1st 2018. Later on you would need to vote for your top twelve songs in the competition.

Been pretty detached from cc-skiing lately. Is there a reason that I should know why Charlotte Kalla was not really challenging for the top spots?

Forgot to celebrate over here! Another medal for Airinė Palšytė and she is the only Lithuanian athlete to ever win more than one in European indoor competitions. With Ireland, Serbia and Slovakia winning medals here, I really did not want to feel left out

Agnė lost the medal pretty much due to sub-par tactics

I am becoming paranoid since Biathlon WCH prediction contest is not being announced

Some good news for us finally! 3rd place for Justinas Kinderis

Second day of the Lithuanian Swimming Championships and we have our first guaranteed olympian!!! Danas Rapšys swam 200m Freestyle in 1:46.71 and qualified with an A standard. Kotryna Teterevkova swam 200m Breaststroke in 2:29.77 and secured a B standard Andrius Šidlauskas improved his 100m Breaststroke time to 1:00.18, but was 0.25s away from A standard, so remains with B for now. Alicja Tchorz from Poland with a B qualifying mark in 100m Backstroke Deividas Margevičius swam 100m Butterfly in 52.87, was 0.11s away from our NR set in 2009 and secured a B standard

Honestly, it was a pretty dreadful day for Lithuania. Agnė Šerkšnienė saved it with an amazing run and qualified to the final of 400m. with a NR And Airinė Palšytė managed to qualify as well. There's still hope for a medal
