time for a new World Cup stage for the Rifle & Pistol specialists... this week we are in Cairo

well, the Polish guys have done well all season long. the really surprising result is Tsubaki's gold. anything else is just among the range of the predictable achievements. unnecessary events? why? are there many other events in Winter Sports showing depth at the top level? if alpine and cross events in snowboard and freestyle have to go, then what about the actual freestyle disciplines (5 Nations at the start for the Aerials this morning) or Nordic Combined/Ski Jumping (4/5 Nations competing for the top 20 places in each event when we're lucky, not more than 10/12 in total at the start) or Luge or (for what concerns the top tier nations) the same Cross-Country Skiing?

no, it's not the case...he has dominated the 2021 season and, when not injured, the 2022 season as well... he already collected European and World Indoor titles, outdoor European and Olympic gold medals and he recorded both Indoor and Outdoor European records. I guess he's already done more than many big names among the sprint specialists of the past...comparing him to the Belarussian is an insult. right now he's not in very good shape (still, 6.56 is a clocking that most sprinters in the world can only dream about). adding another European Indoor title or not, it's not going to change anything for him, we'll see what he he's going to do in the outdoor season...

now the World Cup takes a break. from February 28th through March 5th, in fact, it's time for the 2023 World Championships in Boi / Taull (Pyrenèe region).

Stage #5 ( Val Martello) Mixed Relay Gold: Spain (Ana Alonso Rodriguez & Oriol Cardona Coll) Silver: France (Emily Harrop & Robin Galindo) Bronze: Switzerland (Caroline Ulrich & Matteo Favre)

Stage #5 ( Val Martello) Women's Sprint Race Gold: Emily Harrop Silver: Lena Bonnel Bronze: Celia Perillat-Pessey

Stage #5 ( Val Martello) Men's Sprint Race Gold: Arno Lietha Silver: Oriol Cardona Coll Bronze: Iwan Arnold

the youngster is good! Marcel is...lost!

I think there won't be anything to know before early 2025

Dzhima is not starting Today in the women's Mass Start, therefore yesterday's Italian hero Hannah Auchentaller is going to replace her.

tbh, I expected Goggia destroying the field in DH, Brignone and Curtoni going 1-2 (or 1-3 at max) in Super-G, Bassino retaining her Parallel Slalom gold (especially after having a half-sized starting field in terms of big names) and winning also the GS (with Brignone also on the podium) after Shiffrin's choke in the combined event (where Brignone's gold is the obvious and direct consequence of Shiffrin's fault). so, yes...it's absolutely true that more gold medals were expected in alpine skiing.

bleah! shitty day for Italy... I guess we already used all of our good luck yesterday in Oberhof...

so, also this CHL campaign is over! see you next August with a new chapter, full of new features and a new revised format for the regular season.

Knockout Stage Final Saturday 18.02.2023 - Highlights Luleå Hockey (SWE) - Tappara Tampere (FIN)

Knockout Stage Final Saturday 18.02.2023 - Result 16:20 Luleå Hockey (SWE) - Tappara Tampere (FIN) 2-3 (0-2, 0-0, 2-1) Goal Scorers: 0-1, 01:42, Kristian Tanus, PP (Maksim Matushkin, Anton Levtchi) 0-2, 07:06, Niko Ojamäki (Ben Thomas, Juuso Ikonen) 0-3, 41:00, Jori Lehterä (Kristian Tanus, Veli-Matti Savinainen) 1-3, 52:04, Erik Gustafsson, PP 6-on-4 (Linus Fröberg, Jack Connolly) 2-3, 57:50, Juhani Tyrväinen, EV 6-on-5 (Brendan Shinnimin, Jack Connolly)

Tappara Tampere are the new European Champions! thanks to a strong start, they earned a 3-0 lead and then they were able to defend it through the entire match. Luleå did too little and too late, cutting Tappara's lead to just 1 goal in the final minutes of the game, but they couldn't complete their comeback. Final score: Tappara 3, Luleå 2

tbh, in alpine skiing we've won way less precious metal than expected... and also in Biathlon, it's not that the mixed relays and Vittozzi in her individual events weren't out of any prediction. the only true surprise is today's gold medal in the biathlon women's relay.

by the way, I'm still shocked by this result...I didn't really expect Comola and Auchentaller to perform like they did today... and actually, I didn't expect even Vittozzi to blow Herrmann out like she did in the last shooting session. congrats to all of our girls...thanks for this great afternoon...my cardiologist couldn't be happier... now I hope this race gives all of our youngsters a new perspective and represents a boost to their effort to improve more and more on their weak side (definitely not the shooting, let's say).

well, her dad is the US National Team's coach since quite a bit...she's grown up among good native speakers...

Tappara dominating the first period and comfortably leading 2-0 after 20 mins.

FINAL PREVIEW - SECOND CHL FINAL FOR BOTH LULEÅ AND TAPPARA The 2023 Champion Hockey League Final promises to be nothing more than packed full of action as two European heavyweights line up against each other with silverware on the line. The two contenders are Finland's Tappara Tampere and Sweden's Luleå Hockey. Both know what sort of pressure a CHL Final brings, but only one of them can win! For Finnish side Tappara, it's been a long and twisty road to the 2023 CHL Final. The reigning Liiga champions are back where they were last season - this time hoping to get their hands on the elusive European Trophy and first title of Champions of Europe! The eight-time participants of Europe's premier international club ice hockey competition are back in the Final for a second year in a row, following six straight exits in the Round of 16 or earlier between 2014-2020. Their composed, defense-focused style of play that emphasises building up play rather than turn-overs has paid off, with the Finns recording an astonishing four shutouts while only letting 17 goals in over 12 games. They've only scored 35 times, which is six times less than fellow Finalists Luleå, but their goals have been backed up by another season of table-topping goaltending from Christian Heljanko who has been their go-to man in net and is once again a huge reason behind their success in 2022/23. Jori Lehterä leads the team with nine assists so far this season, while Niko Ojamäki's 12 points (7G, 5A) are the most for the Finns. Unbeaten Luleå enter the 2023 CHL Final as the team to beat this season as the 2014/15 CHL Champions eye their second title of Champions of Europe. Luleå have turned games around with late goals, won in OT, came out on top in a shootout and have managed games when they've needed to with tight defending and reliable goaltending, cementing them their place in the ultimate game of the pan-European competition. Furthermore, their near-perfect sporting record also earned them the right to host the biggest game of the season in Luleå, in front of their faithful home fans. The Swedish team have everything in place to end their memorable season on the European stage with another win and, more importantly, the European Trophy high above their heads! Aiding them on their quest of seeing their name on the shiny silver trophy will be ace passer Juhani Tyrväinen and snipers Brendan Shinnimin and Isac Brännström. Tyrväinen has managed seven points (2G, 5A) in 10 games played and his 13 points have him in third place CHL-wide. Shinnimin is tied for third among Luleå’s forwards in points but his seven tucks lead the team while Brännström, who's second in scoring with ten points, has registered six tallies.
