Someone beats Shiffrin when she finishes.

If you ask me, with 48 teams, Europe should have 18, but i'm biased of course.

This is presumably the new reposition, though nothing is official yet. I would ditch the playoff and have Europe with 17.

The World Cup will be expanded to host 48 teams, up from 32, Fifa has decided. An initial stage of 16 groups of three teams will precede a knockout stage for the remaining 32 when the change is made for the 2026 tournament. The sport's world governing body voted through the change at a meeting in Zurich on Tuesday. The number of tournament matches will rise to 80, from 64, but the eventual winners will still play only seven games. The tournament will be completed within 32 days - a measure to appease powerful European clubs, who objected to reform because of a crowded international schedule. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38565246 ***** Oh, dear

A team from our womens league has made a transfer of Iranian player Moadeh Borhani. And our sites are saying this is the first time that a women athlete from Iran will play proffesionally international. Also the same team made another interesting transfer, a player from Rwanda, so they are shaping a very unusual team.

It's strange seeing so liitle snow in Val di Fiemme, when there is so much elsewhere in Europe.

Being in Adelboden. If it was any other resort they would have canned the race.

Now that Hirscher went through the fog, they should wait until it clears a bit.

Yeah, he saw Frenzel comming for his records and said "no-no".

Only for the home starts i suppose?

Goggia with another podium, but still in the hunt for a victory. Where and when will it come.

The Adelboden race is such a beauty every year.

The polish starts next week will be insane!!

5km free is the perfect discipline for Jess Diggins, she is unbeatable in it.

I was waiting for the moment when the pressure will squash Tande and it came. What a horrendous jump and as i expected, his caliber is not for a 4-Hills winner (at least not yet). The return of Kamil Stoch Awesome to see that the fall he had in Innsbruck didn't faze him.

I think Ustiugov wants to win every single stage.

The big snow storms hit us last night. There is a full ban for all motor vehicles in 6 countys, highways are closed and 800 villages are without electricity so far.

Tobby Price fell and broke his leg.

Soo happy for Mani Moelgg Well deserved after an amazing second run.

Crazy race today

And the first big casualty of a favourite - Al-Attiyah retires from the race after he busted the car in stage 3
