Exactly what advantage does Switzerland have in their equipment? Would you mind explaining a little, please?

Norway are bound to have a mediocre to horrible Olympics (by their standards I mean) in Cortina-Milano next year. No Boes, no Riiber, no Johaug, no hope.

Could you write a bit more about her struggles and misfortunes over the years? I' m not so familiar with her story.

He was furious indeed. Can't blame him. But then he calmed down, discussed the incident with Boe and also admitted in an official interview with the IBU that it was all his fault.

I feel for you. I am also quite a staunch supporter of Italian sport (I always root for your athletes, especially in Summer Olympics). I think Georgia Colomb in alpine skiing and Auchentaler (I hope I typed it correctly) in biathlon have good potential though. They look very promising to me.

Imagine how (we) Norwegian fans feel now that the likes of Berger, Eckhoff and Olsbu have retired...

I'd be happy to although my predictions usually suck.

How's Petra doing? When is she expected to return?

Jacquelin was close to making this interesting but narrowly failed.

My thoughts exactly...

How was this race NOT on Eurosport?

Well, she has explicitly stated that she won't, but who knows...

Johaug will not be competing in Milano-Cortina.

If it's him and not -let's say- Samaranch Jr, the near future looks kinda bleak for the Russians I guess.

I have a question for everyone: Will Russia participate in Milano-Cortina? What's your (very early) prediction about this? I guess it largely hinges on who the next IOC president will be, which we'll know next March I think.
