Every race where Poromaa is beaten is a nice one (considering his pathetic comments towards biathlon), so this seems like a nicely surprising result  

Don´t think that was so serious comment but yes still stupid.

Fun fact btw from yesterday´s races. It was Maja Dahlqvists first ever national championship medal. Just took some world cup wins, and world and olympic medals first, and it wasn´t even in a sprint or in a very good season.

For those interested, this outlet generally keeps tabs on LGBTQ+ athletes at the Olympics: https://www.outsports.com/2021/7/12/22565574/tokyo-summer-olympics-lgbtq-gay-athletes-list/

What is so sad is how few Open men there are. Still more acceptance for gay women in sports than men.

Swedish nationals 20 km mass start freestyle today. womens podium could have been a sprint world cup podium

1. Sundling 2. Svahn 3. Dahlqvist

On men's side more establisjed names such as Burman and Poromaa finished 10 and 11.

Frida Karlsson (7th) and Ebba Andersson missed podium on women side, a bit of a surprise, but Anderssons boyfriend won men's gold.

1. Berglund 2. Jutterström 3. Rosjö

Turkey almost did, so who knows 

 

If anyone, it’ll probably be Team Homan though. Ridiculous record on the season of 53-5 (including the five games played here)

 

I think they even have a better record than Team Tirinzoni this season. 

Probably. Tirinzoni are usually great but they are not as exceptional on the tour (or other championships) as they are when they play world championships

Homan is going to win every group match and then lose in the 1/2, isn't she 

Do you think they will stop Tirinzonis world Championship winning streak of 41 games?

Terrible skiis for the swedes on home soil Sundling working hard with her legs to not loose to much despite having slip stream

Andreas Almgrens choice to leave 1500 and 5000m was apparantly the right choice. From mediocre middle distance runner to be just seconds away from the European record in both half marathon and 10 000m

 Briane Harris suspended for 4 years, after testing positive for ligandrol. 

 

https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/curling/curling-briane-harris-suspension-banned-substance-1.7140282

 

She plans to appeal the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport as she claims that “she was unknowingly exposed to it through bodily contact”. Honestly, I’m not sure whether to believe her or not. 
 

Same exact substance that has been used by a couple of Canadians doping in the past, first Laurent Vincent Lapointe (canoeing) in 2019, second Christine De Bruin (bobsleigh) in 2022, and now Briane Harris in 2024. Not a good look for Canadian sport. 

Even if I don’t understand why to take doping in curling, of course doping can still have affect, why else would we do physical training, but I also think it is very important that peppar take responsibility and that they can’t just based on their cover up stories like Johaug.

My Team, Granbom defended the title in the Swedish Elite League this plast weekend, qualifying for the national team squad for another season together with national Champions Nyman and the presumed wild card Team Edin.

For the overall cup, Linn Svahn should have been smart and pick the same heat as Diggins to make it more difficult for Diggins to advance

Norwegian brothers Marcus and Martinus Will represent Sweden. Even if the Song wroters are Swedish, I don't know if it is worse for Sweden to have norwegian representatives or for Norway that they rather participate for Sweden

Can anybody do some research if it's the first time in like forever when Norway doesn't top the medal table?  

First time Norway had 10th place as best performance over all womens races, relay included )?!

Swedes just like the rest of the season terrible shootinjg and decent skiing. Only saved by yesterdays relays where the others were even worse

Linn Svahn had a fall and stilll only missed podium by 3.2s but what a day for Sweden and USA!

So fun with Schumacher!! And looks like my relative Jonna Sundling can get her first distance win in WC!

Sarah Sjöströms butterfly yesterday would be good enough to be 5th best in the 50 Free style semi finals

Women's 50m Freestyle heats:

 

 Sjoestroem 23.91 in the heats 

 

She's ridiculous

Aldo ridiculous, why she Seems to only focus on 50 Free and relay in the olympics when I still think she could do great in 100 Free and fly

Sweden 2024 vs. Sweden 2023 after womens individual:

1 medal vs 5

I don't understand how FIS can accept this design of sprint courses if not for that they want to destroy their sport?

Only 11 Female competitors in the world cup ski cross in Georgia today! One quarter final had one single skiier competing for 2 spots in the semi final..

Don’t know where I got Team Edin winning from. As mentioned in another thread, not my best day today. 
 

Congrats on advancing to the final by the way 

Thanks! Unfortunately they did it without me. I guess we would have won otherwise
