Macedonia's parliament passed on Friday an amendment to the constitution to rename the country Republic of North Macedonia, as agreed with Greece to put an end to a 27-year dispute. Now, it is time we started petitioning for Western Macedonia

I really like our draw. This time we really lucked out, when comparing the other groups. We "only" have to beat Brazil, i'll take that.

I like both versions to be honest. When SA wants, they can make it as interesting as if it was in Africa. The deal is that like many other sports, the safety aspects have kicked, instead of the epicness.

It's Dakar season once again! Even with the fewer stages than usual it is still one of the sporting highlights.

I was talking about the men's race. No Cologna, Manificat, Hellner, Harvey, Poltoranin, anyone, it was only Norway-Russia-Norway-Russia-Norway-Russia

Kobayashi is a real mystery for me. In the beginning of the season i thought he just had a string of good jumps and his form will disappear in a few rounds like every prior japanese jumper. But the guy just keeps winning. And the 4-Hills, once the hardest event to win, he just breezed through. Or maybe, this is the weakest ski-jumping season i have watched. When i look at the final 4-Hills and the overall World Cup standings, it's like there are no stars anymore. As if the big names from the last 4-5 years have all disappeared and the mediocre jumpers are now picking up the pieces..

I watched. But even for me, as an avid Norge fan, having the whole norwegian and russian teams in the top 12 is too much. I have a kick when norwegians beat the other nations, but now there are almost no other nations.

Correction, there have not been any favorites in slalom in 2-3 years. Hirscher wins and anyone else can be 2nd or 22nd in any given race. Ugly discipline i agree.

Were only norwegians and russians allowed, because i didn't see any other nation in the race.

Let's see if Popov can make points again

They will show the second run, but because of the Hopman Cup not the first.

Yup, Tour de Ski has definitely run it's course. In addition to those that skip it more and more, the ones that do actually start don't want to finish it. FIS needs to start thinking how to save it before it is too late.

Do you watch only crap stuff.

When she returns from Bulgaria

Tough match-up for Zografski. His run of points is probably going to end.

Anderson superb today The treble is coming

On point those dutch commentators as always

Very tough match for Gary against Dobey, but he is turning things around.

Not surprised that loser Hristov is among them. Should be banned for life!

Fourcade already with 2 misses, not his weekend and i'm very pleased with that.

Great day for team Norge

I still don't know how Nove Mesto is not a permanent WC stage. Amazing crowd, great course, beautiful complex!

Last nights session was the best so far. Great matches, drama, even better results. Very happy that the prick Price was dumped out. Bring on today.
