Air traffic control: "We did not detect the aircraft because it was not carrying a transponder."

Ukrainians claim the drone is not theirs, which would mean, if true, that it came from Russia. Apparently they found a red star printed on the metal so maybe it came from Putin's backyard. Nothing is off the table. What is concerning is that military vehicle flew over three NATO members (Romania, Hungary, Croatia). It was not shot down. It fell in one of the NATO capitals. Perhaps even more concerning is that nobody is reporting on it. I guess Zagreb could have been wiped ooff in a nuclear blast without anybody noticing it as well... Putin must he laughing his ass off...

Conspiracy theories galore. Some are claiming that they use Google directions hence why Yarun got confused with Jarun. Well, good thing nobody was targeting Slovenia then!

Aaaaaand looks like it did enter the air space from Hungary at the speed of 700 km/h. This should confirm the rumour about its origin? Still absolutely insane that it should land in an urbanized area of the capital, literally 3 km away from all the main government buildings, among other things...

And it seems increasingly likely that it was an Ukrainian Tu-141 which crashed. Pretty close to a miracle that there are no victims. I am afraid it would have been a different story had it crashed just a couple of hours earlier... https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/44697/ukrainian-tu-141-strizh-missile-like-drone-appears-to-have-crashed-in-croatia

So... Last night a drone crashed suddenly in Zagreb. Or was it a drone? Two parachutes were found as well (?!). The impact created a crater three meters wide. Allegedly it's the Soviet-build drone that only Ukraine is using. Allegedly. Somehow it passed the whole of Hungary and ended up in our capital? Meters away from the student dorm? The place where I used to live. This is so utterly bizzarre... https://m.vecernji.hr/vijesti/ravnateljstvo-policije-o-udaru-na-jarunu-pronadena-dva-padobrana-nema-dojava-o-ozlijedenim-osobama-1569976

Or the big air, which gets a huge extra venue while adding nothing to the program.

Meh. I am not worried. Putin has put the weakness of the Russian army on full display here.

technically had an infinite increase in Sarajevo.

Feels like this discipline suffered from bad timing more than anything else. It would have stayed in the program for sure had it been introduced in 1998 or so...

Bronze for Zrinka in the GS. Pretty great conclusion to an otherwise poor season. She didn't turn any heads in Beijing, and everything before that was even less impressive (compared to the previous season). Guess she peaked at the right time.

Nice PB for S. Kolega - 13th. Except for Zubčić, this race pretty much wraps the season for our men's team. I suspect Kolega might give it a go in Kranjska Gora, but points are unlikely of course.

Yes, Sami! He had some promising splits all season and I was hoping a full run like this one would happen. Bonus points for going green against angry Henrik of all people.

Any chance the ski ballet makes a triumphant return? I'd prefer this over any of the freeski events, to be honest...

Henrik throws a tantrum again.

It would explain plenty.

Yeah, she was more convincing last season actually, when racing mostly the Europe Cup. This title surprised me given her WC season this year.

Zrinka Ljutić is the slalom champion. She is now invited for the WC finals, which is awesome.

FYI, Rudolph Lewis won the first Olympic time trial. 320 km long. 10 hours 42 minutes winning time. No doubt about my pick here...

Spotify is down. Damn. Is it the Russians, pro-vaxxers or anti-vaxxers? At any rate my ride experience just got busted.

But not including Guernsey, Saint Helena, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands, Turks and Caicos and Tristan da Cunha? Bleh. Amateurs. EDIT: On second thought... Of course the Caymans are not included.

Looks like the people of Kharkiv have been finally liberated from food, their homes and jobs, their city...

Yeah, one has to be fair and outline that the Nordstream 2 is way too close to Ribbentrop-Molotov for comfort. Crazy it ever happened, but you know, money..

Claudia Pechstein went faster today than she did when winning a bronze at the 1994 Olympics held at the same venue. Damn these technology sports.
