Group C1/C2 jumping team allocation has been made. Looks like every Group C nation is interested to compete except and . C1 (Moscow) - C2 (Budapest) - So it turns out that the Moscow qualifier will be the stacked one after all. Budapest qualifier will probably be Czech Republic vs Hungary, but watch out for Slovakia! Although it says that Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have "confirmed participation", I refuse to believe that.

Norway won almost 40% of all medals available at these Nordic Worlds (and almost 60% of gold medals)...

75.5% for Nicholas Wagner & Quater Back Junior. Luxembourg has a true star in the making.

Nice silver for Ireland.

Central European League, Stage 13 (Zhashkiv, Ukraine) Inna Logutenkova (Don Gregorius) - 75.840% Inna Logutenkova (Fleraro) - 75.755% Maksim Kovshov (Flirt) - 70.980% Full results... Competition was judged by two Ukrainian judges who were already suspended in the past for nationalistic judging.

Karsten Warholm tied record.

Exactly the kind of symptoms Tammjarv had a couple of days ago.

Hoogland just ate Paul for dinner.

Indeed, nothing has changed in women's madison since its introduction two years ago. It's always 3 or 4 teams that are sweeping intermediate sprints and the rest just circling and crashing around. It's almost grotesque how incapable the lesser teams are. Even if they put a full attack they often end up with nothing on intermediate sprints. And the same story will be going on next year, with half the field going to the Olympics knowing that they can't score any points...

And again a bunch of DNFs, not just New Zealand. 4 in total. In all Olympic editions of men's madison only one team ever had a DNF:..

New Zealander who crashed on lap 5 just collapsed on lap 80. Great job paramedics for letting her race.

So I correctly guessed all 6 medalists in today's team events, but only one of them in the exact position.

Barely five laps gone and already a serious crash in women's madison. How very surprising.

I wonder if the commentators will be saying "Krusnoyarsk", like the luge announcer always does.

As it turns out, 76.970% is the new record for Latin America. Previous high score dates back to 2007, when Bernadette Pujals posted 76.550% aboard Vincent.

Pyeongchang was a nice change of scenery in the men's 50km, but indeed the freestyle mass starts are just a big no.

Here's hoping that Roponen gets a good result. It's in freestyle, after all.

North American League, Stage 10 (Wellington, Florida) Laura Graves (Verdades) - 84.535% Kasey Perry-Glass (Goerklintgaards Dublet) - 83.875% Adrienne Lyle (Salvino) - 80.160% Full results... 76.970% for Yvonne Losos.

Here is a nice article on them. https://www.chronofhorse.com/article/behind-the-stall-door-with-vancouver-k

Another promising result for Wagner. https://concours.nl/wedstrijden/rubriek/view/id/14666

So I predicted a silver for Stoch.

Boring.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

4th place incoming for Finland. How very original.
