But master Ligety is still there. He could very well win a GS in Beaver Creek in his 40s

Tommy Ford

Rado Yankov with a nice fourth place today. Still not convinced about his chances for the season, but it's a good start. The italians on the other hand were sliding like crazy.

Peier with second place lol I remember years back, when Ammann was at his peak, Peier was doing a third shorter jumps.

Kristoffersen has never won in Beaver Creek, time to change that today.

Russia, as a nation in international competitions i presume? Because i can't grasp the possibility of CAS banning a bulgarian football club, for instance, of having russian players in the team.

But there are plenty of resorts, which are capable of having two courses. That is not the problem. It's just FIS doesn't want to invest that much in this event for some reason. I personally like it very much. Plus the norwegians will dominate every event either way. Better have some variety.

Skiathlon should be in more events during the season. At least 3-4 for me, we don't need a sprint and 15k in every round.

Did the french have jet skies or something That was some serious beating by them. Fourcade back to winning ways, hmm that is not good.

Mikaela will finish with 120 WC wins by the end of her career.

So, the austrian women's slalom team consists of: Katharina Truppe Katharina Liensberger Katharina Gallhuber Katharina Huber Are there any more Katharinas left in Austria

Pretty even scores all-around for now. Let's see how long until @Dunadan has a thousand points ahead of the next guy. PS: Can someone move the post to the discussion thread. Oops

Norge off to a flying start

I'm for the Tande win, so the second jump is good for me I'm actually pleasently surprised they went with it, since it's become way more safety concerned in the last few seasons.

Let's hope there will be a second jump.

I thought Myhrer had retired, or was going to. Nice run from him at 36.

Absolute domination by Edin. This guy is just another class.

Very nice course, looks hard.

I will join It's been too long without biathlon (winter sports) on my TV.

Please let it be 8, so i can open a bottle of fine wine tonight.

The new Terminator is getting a looooot of hate. I personally enjoyed it, even though the plot is largely a one we have seen before. Better than Salvation and Geneshit.

Catalonia, another potential future nation, to steal medals and quotas from our athletes. Where are the times, when Europe was 25-30 nations and not 55.

Harrachov always had problems, but damn it looks like one of those abandoned haunted places.

It's the same England story every time they go to Eastern Europe. It doesn't matter if it's Bulgaria, Montenegro, Kosovo or anywhere closer. How come such things don't happen to France or Portugal? They don't have enough black players? I haven't seen them complain about racism. Because there is nothing directly against them. The truth is people here know the provocative tricks England has been doing for years, when it comes to Eastern Europe. Of course you won't hear anything about their media bashing against our country, that was happening the whole week. Or of the trashing of Sofia, before the match by their "fans". England had a plan and they executed it perfectly. They very well knew, they would make a demonstration for the previous match and nothing that was happening in stadium would have changed that. People here knew there was a strong possibility of an England boycott of the match. Everything was normal until they purposely stopped playing in the 30th minute. After that everything escalated just like it was expected. It's the reverse psychology. The more you tell people not to do something, the more they would do it. Especially with all the negative comments that circulated in the week. The english were expecting a hellhole full of racist gypsies and the idiots in the stadium made sure they received, what they expected. Every time they stopped playing or threatened to boycott, the boos were louder and louder. Hope they throw our team from the competitions, so we don't have to endure such results. Football is dead here... What happened last night was truly sad and inexcusable and i'm ashamed Bulgaria is in the worldwide news with this. But there is always two sides of the coin...
