Valerie Grenier has 33 pts so far, but she already has points in all disciplines (DH, SG, GS, SL)! Moreover, she is the only one who did it so far.

Yay, Zubo got 13th place with 6th best second run.

Edi Dadić is apparently in excellent shape. This weekend he placed 2nd in sprint and 1st in 10km free in Ramsau. He was also 1st in the sprint qualifications. There was quite a strong field in Ramsau, more than 100 skiers in both races. Apart from that he won some very useful FIS points, especially in sprint, where he apparently improved a lot! If he can lower his FIS sprint points average to the 67 pts that he scored here he should surely make top 300 in Olympic FIS sprint points list and therefore unlock the second male quota for us. The other condition is that we need to have another athlete with A standard, however that shouldn't be a problem at all for Krešimir Crnković, even though he is primarily a biathlete.

Wow, Zubčić will make second run! I almost forgot how it feels like to have a skier advancing to the second run...

That's cool. However, I guess there's no way that he'll switch to now that we won.

Wow, Dai Dai Ntab wins.

Well, he is from New Zeeland. Does it really count as a non-Dutch win?

Astana ice rink as empty as it could be.

Well, this system is nothing new. Favourites used to be the first to start so they just brought back the historic system.

Lillehammer is the home ground and spiritual center of Norwegian winter sport.

Btw, looks like both and could get points in this race.

I very much doubt that this ever happened before.

It was a very emotional win for Vahtje yesterday.

Ah, yes, Laura Deas is competing here, a former event rider (at international/FEI level!)

What a win for Tucker West 2nd last split - 0.008 ahead of Pavlichenko Last split - 0.001 behind Finish - 0.006 ahead

You are famous.

@heywoodu You picked Repilov as the 2018 Olympic champion?

Wow, that was you. Nice.

I just heard that Korea bought German-born Aileen Frisch (former junior World champion).

"Spectacle" called mass start will be the last speed skating competition. Talk about an anticlimactic finish.

Wait, you are actually for the idea of athletes going to the Olympics just to compete in some weird mixed team event?

I suppose that some pre-qualifications in team sports will be the first to start, however, the first direct qualifiers will probably be the 2018 Shooting World Championships and World Equestrian Games.

Haha, the B proposal has only team events in prone/double trap/50m pistol, without individual events. And I thought FEI was becoming desperate.

Two weeks ago, Galileo satellite navigation system launched the first rocket that carried 4 navigation satellites at once into the space... These boosters use "only" 5 tons of fuel every second.

Ireland did have that unlucky 4th place once...
