Swewi

24.62 in the 50 free heats in Sarah Sjöströms comeback in Swim Open in Stockholm in her first race after giving birth 7.5 Months ago. Faster than Haughey

World title no. 8 for Edin! What a championship performer. 9th at the olympics and have fallen down to 13 on the ranknings, Barely qualifying for the slams anymore. Could make you think they had a bad season but they still got the european and World title😄

7 ender by Edin against Czechia! nice to see them back again, even if the competition might be a bit lower than in olympics.

I think definately with 48 teams it is not too many with 16. however I can accept that Swedens route was not deserved. The problem (or good for Sweden) is that they award teams in Europa league C division. Iof we did not fail in the B division we would probably not have won a playoff spot from B league. Maybe a Genius move from our former national coach😂

Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏 Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2). For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that. There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.

Maybe not the most Nice sprint finish I have seen by Hanna, but not the worse I have seen in biathlok either and at least Simon admits she would have Done the same in that position

Great to see Linn shine after all her struggle for the past years! great to see the Swedish men starting to improve as well. Not spoiled with that. And nice ending for Pellegrino too!

They should have 2 weeks in North america every year! Biathlon too

I am of course happy with that Sweden for the first time wins the womens nations cup but I must still question the rules. They don´t count scores from pursuits or mass starts to the nations cup because they consider it´s unfair when all countries don´t have 3 or more athletes starting, but somehow they consider it is fair to include mixed relays and let male performances affect the ranking for women and the vice versa.So thanks to a mans disqualification (Jaqueline in the last single mixed) Sweden won the womens nations cup. Now I think Sweden would have won anyway if all mixed relays would have been discounted from the womens team ranking but still a bit weird to see how his failure had that impact on the womens cup.

Yeah I guess Weng and Slind Will be gone. Diggins retiring now after this season final. Frida Karlsson, Maja Dahlqvist and Moa Ilar have Said they Will most likely not continue after Falun 2027 (Frida is not even that old so I hope she changes her mind). Sundling is 31 but I could see her Continue actually. She has the potential to be a Björgen. Sprinter who can start dominate in distance after 30 +. Interesting that, also for men, it is quite many nations that are successful on junior and u23 level

After Falun in the 50km race in Holmenkollen Ebba Andersson Will miss the World cup finals. most likely Klaebo Will do the same after the fall in Drammen

Gabriel Gledhill (GBR) who was seen drafting behind Diggins during the race apparantly was drunk under the race as he accepted 10-12 beers and 5-6 shots from the attendees besides the course.
