Wow, puck really becomes visible.

I think that's the part where the puck is more visible.

Rydzek beats Frenzel in a photo finish, once again.

Next objective, see the puck as it enters the goal.

What a jump-off in Bordeaux WC. Four of the former/current World No. 1 riders knocked the same fence down! And that fence wasn't knocked by anyone in the initial round. This caused a very much surprising podium with Epaillard as the winner. Also, it appears as though Guido Klatte and Max Kuhner have now secured their tickets for the WC final. On the other hand, some top names are really struggling to secure their places, and they have only one more chance at the last qualifier in Gothenburg later this month!

There will be no live stream.

Lebanon will compete in alpine skiing parallel event tomorrow.

Looks like Croatia will be the first entrant. On the side note, Grand Final is scheduled for my birthday.

Someone is wearing a WC leader shirt in Oberhof.

They are everywhere.

Yes, he seems very talented, excellent results through whole season. Actually, I remember that Andorran Olympic committee didn't want to send him to Sochi because he only had B standard at the time. Glad that this decision didn't discourage him.

Here's some nice news. Elsa-Gudrun Jonsdottir apparently made her comeback to XC skiing after 10 years of absence and is well on the way of becoming the first Icelandic woman to qualify for the Olympics in XC.

Sadly I missed that as I switched to bobsleigh.

Looks like our dear friend Angelica Morrone di Silvestri is back. Although, she did not start the first race. https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/results.html?sector=CC&raceid=28437

I think they removed someone who withdrew overnight (and did not write DNS).

Btw, it won't feel like a real 10000m race until someone gets lapped.

You can luckily enjoy it for few more hours.

" she wants to attend other competitions, experience the Olympic atmosphere and visit the sports facilities around Almaty " How does one experience the Olympic atmosphere at the Universiade?

Lol, what did the athletes do that the Olympic medals are the ones that get recycled of all things.

I'd take that with a pinch of salt seeing that someone like Alisa Zhambalova made the final. Her only other WC top 30 in sprint came at the limited field of Tour de Ski. Also an Australian scored WC points.

Yes, let's also have two road races at every Summer Olympics because of those overrated sprint finishes.

Eventing world is finally coming out of hibernation (at least for a moment) with showcase competition in Wellington, Florida.

That's why it makes even more sense to have one Gundersen and one Mass start competition at the Olympics. Simply because one favors sprinters while in other it doesn't really matter if you miss out in sprint finish.

Then I guess you find ski jumping boring too.
