So for the checking purposes, it would be enough to remove one of your reputations.

Small Puerto Rico beats the big Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Carlos Lopez pulled out of WC finals. Down to 38 jumpers.

Who knows how good she would be without 457 DNFs/foolish mistakes.

Congrats @hckosice , @Ufilov and @Henry_Leon 5th place for me. Not bad for someone who never watched a rugby game. So much for current system putting knowledge first.

Croatian votes are in!

Sadly, all games will be in the middle of the night during weekdays...

We won some medals too, however it doesn't appear like the competition was particularly strong. World Cups in gymnastics are usually not something what the best athletes attend, but this one in Baku didn't even have the best Azerbaijani gymnasts.

Beautiful snow in Schonach.

Well, it seems to be quite a fitting way to get a win for an ultimate "wildcard" athlete like Rastorgujevs.

Commentators said he received "unauthorized help". So, congrats Rastorgujevs (unless something shady happens...)

Yeah, it probably won't give points towards the overall rankings. Shame. Australian Federation is to blame really. They initially didn't allow their team to enter as they didn't fulfill federation's "criteria". Few days after they reversed the decision, but to no awail as the entries were already closed.

Australians have pretty much denied the possibility of hosting the Olympics and time soon. So, yeah, another one of the "many" possible 2028 hosts is out of the window. Meanwhile, IOC is really considering the joint award of 2024 and 2028 Olympics. I guess they figured out that interest in hosting is disappearing rapidly... P.S. Why don't we have a thread for this stuff?

Do you have a map of that?

Laukkanen Eurosport commentators were quite rude to her before the race. "No way I'm putting my money on Laukkanen for the double win."

How did Korea get those 3 biathlon quotas?

Bad news for the lugers, curve 9 is not problem at all for bobsledders. Looks like they won't fix it for the Olympics.

People get it, alright. It's the only sport where slow motion shows lies. It's like watching a slow motion replay in archery and seeing that an arrow went to 9 instead of 10.

"Visible by human eye" is not some exact term to be honest. Everyone gets angry when judges don't see something in football or other team sports. It's just so that it happens all the time in race walking.

Entry list for Jumping World Cup Finals is out too. 39 athletes from 19 nations will compete. The most interesting name I see is Eric Navet. Olympic medalist and multiple World champion from the 90s. He pretty much hasn't been around at all since 2004 Olympics and now he's back. His only other previous appearance at the WC finals was in 1992.

Seems like a good idea. However, I think this event is really struggling with modern times. Slow motion replays clearly show that basically everyone is cheating by having both feet in the air. Last time I watched it, commentator was trying to explain that cheating has to be seen by the human eye, but yeah... Rules in this sport are ambigous at best.

So, what, women's wrestling will have 10 categories between 48 and 75 kg?

Isn't there a pursuit for Kocergina tomorrow? Never say never. And she will be joined by Baiba Bendika in starting order, who seemingly became a big time pursuit expert this season.

It's completely ridicilous that FIS didn't create team event WC after it became an Olympic event. Olympic event that's only contested at WCh and WC finals...
