Point for me i reckon 16 year old D'Antonio is set to make her WC debut in tomorrows slalom, without having a single Europa Cup race.

Unfortunately, with the way this whole comeback has unfolded, i can't see her with anything more than a top 15 position in Cortina.. If that at all is achievable given, that she will almost have no races before the OG and no training for 8 months.. Wonder if this will haunt her in the coming years (especially if she does badly), to injure herself in such an unnecessary race..

New info has come out, that Sivert Bakken when found, was wearing his high altitude mask. As we know those masks reduce the oxygen, that goes in the body. And with Bakken's previous health conditions, that should have been a red light... The Norwegian Biathlon Federation has forbidden all of it's athletes to wear altitude masks until further notice.

Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy.

Snow or Ice or GTFO! Sometimes i wish i was in these organization's structures, so i can give them a piece of my mind.

Done with the voting. As with every contest i re-arranged the placing numerous times before reaching a conclusion.

Having more points after only 8 starts, than his previous best full season is wild. His inclusion in training with the German team the past few season has really paid off this year. Btw, I'm really enjoying the start of this season with the new Slovenian dominance. Domen looks like the incarnation of his older brother.

I can't see how Norris will lose this. Even Littler will be before McIlroy in my eyes.

Vonn winning by a second doesn't speak well for the state of women's alpine skiing.

I will definitely vote on Sunday evening as well. This time for real. Need to fill my final ranking, as i have a couple of clashes, but will be traveling on the weekend, so will finalize things when i get home.

If this was 6-7 years ago I would have said "Fantastic, I will have luge on my Eurosport again". But after a couple of seasons of watching live and whenever I wanted on free YouTube, to go back to sporadic random runs being shown and most likely on delays is going to be frustrating Because Eurosport is not going to prioritize luge at all for live broadcasts.

Great 6th place for Gismondi Beating almost all Norwegians and some of the Swedes is a superb performance.

And I presume people have first class travel available to these places. The point to host such events,for these resorts, is usually to attract tourists and fans. If you are hosting a WC round only one or two weekends a year, then I fail to see how there aren't at least 1000 fans in the whole country that can't plan on going..

JTB and TB announce retirement and everyone outside Norge pop open the champagne and say "finally". Then Norge enter Botn and Uldal, who are the next incarnation of JTB and Taraj Boe

Great to see the Poles coming out again for their Wisla round. The atmosphere is on hand as usual. With all due respect to Norway, Finland and Sweden who have invented these sports, but in the last couple of years it's painful to watch the starts in Scandinavia with 30 people in the stands.. It is always a shock how barely anybody goes out to watch a WC round in a historical sport for that nation. Same goes for the cross-country, Nordic combined races we had. Only biathlon managed to pull a nice crowd in Ostersund.
