  1. Sara Ponya is still not eligible for the Olympics, but she is starting in biathlon's IBU Cup tomorrow. Not sure if she knows she needs better FIS points or not. Fingers crossed for Bruna. I'll say a prayer.
  2. Try Robert Kerstajn the technical delegate? I messaged you his contact info I found.
  3. Brown is a fan favorite, but he's so overscored, and he has a low point ceiling. He shouldn't be on the Olympic team. It's simply a case of USFS giving the fans what they want.
  4. Can you stay in Zakopane for the distance race? Or if Zakopane is cancelled, will the team do distance in Zlatibor?
  5. I for one am proud of him. Vaccinated players can still spread the virus anyway.
  6. I get the feeling we will see a lot of COVID withdrawals during the Games. On the plus side... it looks like Katie Tannenbaum is in qualification position? Because I doubt Sweden will send Leslie Stratton, and the French athlete isn't meeting her federation's internal criteria.
  7. I don't think I'll watch a single minute of men's hockey. Player quality is far worse than the World Championships, plus there are fewer teams. It's no better than football at the Summer Olympics.
  8. Yup. Luckily she isn’t constrained by classic/freestyle/having to travel with a national team that isn’t always favoring you
  9. Wow. That’s strange. I can understand maybe leaving it to the last minute because of other commitments/injury, but why waste time in biathlon, and come back for a mass start, which is the worst for FIS points? I assume it was a coincidence since she hasn’t seen my message to her. Glad that one way or another she knows though!
  10. I saw that too. I sent her a message on her Instagram. Maybe I should email the federation instead?
  11. I am a bit concerned for . They have a women's quota, but the only athlete (Sara Ponya) doesn't have enough FIS points to be eligible. She needs 300 and has 378. Ponya is competing in biathlon right now and hasn't done any cross country races since the World Championships. Does the federation know that Ponya isn't eligible yet? I can't imagine she wasn't interested in going to the Olympics?
  12. This reminds me of when I was watching a YouTube stream of the 2018 qualifying and someone commented in the live chat that they had a crush on "Lukáš Klimax"
  13. I agree with that conclusion. So that means Mirlene Picin would not be eligible for the Sprint? What would happen if Picin has a better FIS points average, but only Bruna can start in two events?
  14. Right, the criticism is more aimed at the government here. It's a very bad sign for the winter sports season in general. Haha. It didn't come from HIV but it was able to mutate more because of the lack of immunity in people with HIV.
  15. The variant actually appears to be less dangerous than existing ones, so not sure I understand the decision. Probably hysteria. https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/safrican-doctor-says-patients-with-omicron-variant-have-very-mild-symptoms-2021-11-28/
  16. Thank you! I am so so happy for them. It always bothered me that the *most popular sport in the country* didn’t have a women’s team anyone cared about. Now with the disastrous men’s team results at Karjala people are commenting at the players “you should take an example from the girls”. I think we have a realistic chance at a bronze medal, but only if we win Group B and avoid Canada/USA in the quarterfinals.
  17. Dutch ice hockey teams continue their bullying of developing countries @heywoodu https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2022/ogqp2h/news/29101/dutch_oven_burns_turkey
  18. I meant more if it’s at the World Championships where there’s one team per country. Kind of like in biathlon when the Czechs or USA do better in mixed relays because they only have 2 strong men/2 strong women. But yeah if there are multiple teams per country starting then you’re right. Relays are rare enough during the World Cup anyway though.
  19. I actually don't hate this idea for relays because it would make them more competitive esp. for smaller nations. Mixed team sprint seems unnecessary as hell though. CC already has so many events.
  20. Lol. I mean it kind of worked… also love the chant of “Bul-ga-ri-ya” as they’re falling around on the ice. And the heckling during Slovakia’s 2nd penalty shot.
  21. As qualifying starts in a few days, here's my funniest ever women's ice hockey moment from the 2010 edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RypeKwtL4U&ab_channel=Stecak @hckošice "Anna Dzurnakova, number 14, team Slovakie. Ten minutes for misconduct, plus match penalty"
  22. Only 10 nations have enough quotas to be eligible for the team event, so we already know which are qualified regardless of rankings. Debuts for Georgia and Czech Republic (!). No France for the first time.
  23. Wow! That I didn't expect, I thought they'd join World Athletics first.
