The swedish womens sprint team this weekend has been bad enough but to only start with Ilar and Henriksson today is embarrasing

Working on "if the olympics were this Christmas" predictions. Stay tuned.

Today  missed out on the podium among the men, but in the women's race Jasmin Coratti made up for that by winning her first ever World Cup gold 

Season weekly update. USA jump ahead the ranking.

Podium for Grecu in the women's monobob! 

Early victory bid from  Davidova.....
 
 
Looking like she has got it....

3rd place for Minkkinen looks like a sure thing now, that's awesome!

Georgiadou and Gkountoura both into the semifinals in Orleans 
 
Unfortunately they will face each other now so there is no chance for an all-Greek final 
 
Good to see Georgiadou going strong after all she's been through. Really would be incredible if she can qualify for LA 2028, finally making her first Olympics at age 37, and shutting everyone up with the medal she deserves!

And  Pueyo in 3rd during the men’s sprint Q’s

Oh great, the Nowegian Championships presented by FIS have started again 
 
Zero interest in this sport at this stage. I'll probably tune in to watch a couple of races at the World Champs and that is that. Actually emeritus Johaug winning makes Norwegians look kinda awkward. Guess their Next Gen isn't that sharp whatsoever but like who outside of Norway (and maybe Sweden) cares?

Super nasty fall for Arnaud Boisset in today's first downhill of the season, he was 100% knocked out by hitting his head on the snow....

Fun fact, with todays win Therese Johaug becomes the third oldest winner in the women's World Cup. Above her are  Hilde Pedersen at 41 years and of course  Marit Bjorgen at almost 38 years.
