If we look at the 2022 olympics many of the medalists qualified with 5-4, including the scottish women who took gold (also the previous time Scottish women won gold in 2002, they did it with 5-4)
- Women: Great Britain (gold) and Japan (silver)  
- Mixed Doubles: Sweden (bronze)
- Men: Canada (bronze) and USA (4th)
 
 

Plus 21st place, not even 2,5 minutes behind, by 15 or 16 year old (depends on who you ask) Thelma Falk in her very first weekend of official FIS competitions, wow.
 
DNS for our Totallympian due to leg and ankle issues, unfortunately. 

Andersson and Ilar looked fantastic though. Destroyed the race for everyone who was there for good points
 

So Skistad planned for another yellow card to be disqualified and start of with a clean sheet at the World cup, instead she got a red card. A disquslification but she keeps the yellow one

GOLD and SILVER to Sweden already before final. An all Swedish Gold medal game. So so impressed by our guys.  

Two teams in the women's semifinals.  It's a shame that Duda/Ana Patricia got injured; I wouldn't be surprised if we had three teams there (despite the dangerous American pair).
 
Melissa/Brandie were unlucky; I think they would have done better against Thamela/Victoria or the Latvian pair.

Well I wouldn't have been that surprised, but then you told me this. They're not human 
 
Holting Nilsson/Andersson have really came into their own this season.

I'm surprised by this second pair; their blocking quality is spectacular. 

Just as I predicted.
 
Damn it Ahman/Hellvig, why can't you play like the best and stop losing to bad teams in the first round? 

Minnesotan Jessie Diggins announces upcoming retirement from ski racing
 
This will be Diggins' final season of racing.

Weird rules. Sweden still gets a playoff spot despite being absolutely terrible. Relegation to Nations League C apparently came with a bonus. Not that we’ll actually make it through the playoffs, but still... 😂

Hellvig has been injuried so they didn't expect to be in the best shape.
But also remember they list 2 games in the groupies stage in Paris as well and it sent well after all😁 However I think the second Swedish team has better Chances actually.
 

Fun season opening in Munich on roller skiis with a lot of the best biathletes participating and many surprises!
 
1. Perrot/FRA 2. Frey/NOR 3. Strelow/GER
 
1. Vittozi/ITA 2. Skottheim/SWE 3. Magnusson/SWE

Despite the weather, Ståhls winning throw was the 3rd best throw in any World championship or olympics ever, only his own best throw in Budapest and Cech in Eugene was better.

Really felt something good was about to happend. Everyone looked so annoyied or nervous about the weather situation, Daniel Ståhl just kept dancing.  Apparantley  6/12 of the throwers wanted the competition not to be delayed. Australia however wanted to postpone it to tomorrow
 
2cm (always questionable in discus meassurement) from 4 World titles!

So happy for  Rose, I've been keeping an eye on him for a decade so it's great to see him with a world medal.
 
I'm also loving the parity in this sport. 53 nations with at least one medal and only 3 nations with more than 5% of the medals.

Absolutely smashed the pages total from both Paris 2024 and Budapest 2023, well done guys 
 
193 to 255.

This would be a lot easier to say if shady Kersee wasn't her coach.

The bad with this late championship is that you don't get another few competitions whiskey you are still in top shape After..

Jenny! For being not one of my favorite sports she is really a favorite that I am so happy for her results from Paris to now After many though years of mental health problems After the Rio gold!

GB is going to go medalness in La - calling it now. 

Bad day at the office
