Great sprint so far, lots of clear shooting.
 
And Davidova is first with 10/10 

If enough nations withdraw we can actually medal again at the WC 

Not really surprised, it's more sad and pathetic how even at the World Championships, they can't make a Super-G, that's not barely over a minute long. What, France doesn't have mountains anymore?.....

Elena Fanchini, alpine skier, passed away in an age of 37. She didn’t compete in WOG 2018 due cancer. Now she has lost her battle against the terrible disease

There was a "historical" result in the volleyball world this weekend.  Of course it's on a much lower level, but for anyone, who loves statistics would probably be interesting. 
 
In the top Bulgarian women's division, Maritza Plovdiv lost a match after 7 years and a 145 game winning streak. Out of those 145, 123 were won with 3:0, 19 with 3:1 and only 3 matches ended with a 3:2 win. This speaks enough about the strength of our women's league  

Will have to check for slalom specifically, but i vividly remember Marc Berthod winning the Adelboden GS in 2007. With BIB 60 he was 27th in first run and then won the race 

What can i say, another brilliant performance and will to win from Novak. They robbed him of the title last year with the political shenanigans, but it just fueled him even more and the emotions showed that. I have seen this over the years, people trying to peg him down, but it just adds more fire in him to  prove them wrong and what has made him so successful.
 
I've been a die hard Federer fan for 17 years, but there is truth in Stefanos's words after the final - Djokovic is the greatest player of this sport. Federer had the chance to be this guy, but he missed so many direct matches with Djokovic, which he should have won. I can't count the times i was so angry and had sleepless nights after many painful loses. But in the last 2-3 years, i have put it behind me and accepted, that Federer had a rival, who pushed him to the limit and beyond and learned to respect that. Novak will break the majority of his records and frankly i'm ok with that. Hope he gets to 25 and plays a few more years. 

Last time i heard, peak Becker was wiping floors in some other place

Sadly yeah, i was hoping this topic would begin at the end of the year, or beginning of 2024, but no, we will get "glorious" 2 years of drama. 

That European Championships idea brought no value whatsoever. It's just a few sport Euros bunched up at the same time without much correlation. It was only a failed marketing trick in my eyes.
 
At least the European Games could be some unique event, which could build prestige and something for the athletes (and fans) to look forward in non-Olympic, non-World Cham. years. But this can only work , if the Federations have the E Games their definitive Euro Champs for the year and not have 2 separate events... But they don't want to do that of course.

Yeah, i saw some articles about him, when we had our national championships a week ago. I'm definitely not excluding ourselves from the mix, as we have one of the biggest foreign teams around   Mnatsakanian, Umarpashaev, Bataev, Magamaev, Abdelslam (even, if he is always injured), now this Ukrainian fellow. Quite embarrassing i would say from a historical plan, but that's how "the mighty have fallen". 

Not, that i have researched that deep how they calculate the points for the starting bibs, but there are people, who never seem to finish, yet race after race are with bib 10 or so

Opening race of the new season in Formula E and i must applaud them for finally making the cars more presentable and remove those tire fenders.    They look a bit bare in the back, but nonetheless the best version so far.
