    Good to know, that would mean, we could have more exciting races in the foreseeable future. My statement wasn't directed against Johaug personally, it's just the hope for mass start races which are not decided after 3 minutes though I don't like her either since her doping ban, she's cleary the best - by far, no question about that, but that's exactly the problem I'm talking about
  2. LowerSaxony
    Is that a calculation by yourself? How many places between BRA and CRO/LTU in the sprint team relay are necessary for them in order to be 30th?
  3. LowerSaxony
    The entire CC/NC German team with completely inferior material for the third day in a row. Not the only team of course, but kinda sad on the home turf. And honestly, I hope Johaug will quit soon. Women's mass start races are completely unwatchable with her on the start list. No climax, field destroyed after minutes. Tour de Ski 2021 was such a delight without her. ;-)

    Ah meanwhile the entry lists are out: https://directus.european-athletics.com/assets/139a87c7-1d49-40b9-9a78-0e98c3221279 --> 16 competitors in Men's HJ
  5. LowerSaxony
    Yes, Germany nominated 3 male high jumper for its team of 50. Full team can be seen here: https://www.leichtathletik.de/news/news/detail/74520-dlv-nominiert-50-athletinnen-und-athleten-fuer-die-hallen-em-in-polen (German only, but I think most of the translations should be clear ("Kugelstoßen" means shot put and "Stabhochsprung" means pole vault )

    You deserve loads and loads of respect for pursuing your goals, and pushing cross country and biathlon in your country. I cannot even imagine how much work is needed for becoming a competitor at a World Championships and how hard it must be to align training with private life - especially without much funding from your federation and sponsors I guess. Even though I'm only a couch athlete (at least for the very most of my time): Stick to your goals, keep on fighting, you have my full respect and admiration for your efforts and your past and future performances!

    Let me guess: He wants to hide those small rockets under the sled that were secretly installed by the Germans? But yeah.. poor run. Hopefully, he won't crack on another mistake in the deciding run at a major event.
  8. LowerSaxony
    Does the seeded group really consist of only 6 doubles? I thought it were 12 sleds (in that case the probability for two certain German sleds being drawn at 1st and 2nd starting position would be only 1,5% ;-) ) By the way, the starting order is drawn in public (so the rules say at least)
  9. LowerSaxony
    Always the same bs. The technical delegates of this competition are Saso Komovec from Slovenia and Jani Hyvärinen from Finland.
  10. LowerSaxony
    That situation sucks. But I fear an appeal would be useless - the local health authorities in Oberstdorf send the Polish team into quarantine, not the FIS. Of course, the FIS cannot overrule the decisions of local authorities. It is unlikely that quarantine order is abolished so quickly. Hopefully, they are at least allowed to participate in G-P (maybe except Muranka).

    You are mixing your cocktail of Ben Johnson, Justin Gatlin, the GDR, Kenya and NIKE in order to "prove" that some "Western World" countries is as bad as the Russian state doping. That's some nice mix of whataboutism and reframing the initial discussion.
  12. LowerSaxony
    So what is your advice how to deal with the findings that Russia run state sponsored doping over years and years and mocked the evidence when the WADA was investigating? Ignore it because there might be other cheaters from - what you call - the Western world?
  13. LowerSaxony
    Martina Ratej (SLO) got a positive finding from a retest from London 2012 and is now provisionally suspended
  14. LowerSaxony
    Is there any source for it?
  15. LowerSaxony
    That would be loads of luck for Germany after awful European Championships. In the condition they showed at the European they'd get three kicks in the ass by all three teams.
  16. LowerSaxony
    Yeah, when it comes to the point where I don't get pasta in the super market anymore I'm absolutely ready to start riots
  17. LowerSaxony
    Yeah that's true and fine and all. However, this thread doesn't contribute to a cool-headed atmosphere, but rather increases the hysteria ... that's all I intended with my post Maybe I'm just pissed that the football test match between Germany and Italy in Nuremberg, for which I have tickets, is seriously dangered to be cancelled due to corona
  18. LowerSaxony
    We have enough posts like "3 new cases in country X today" or "Now even country Y has fallen" ...
  19. LowerSaxony
    There is still such a high probability that 4 months from here we talk about like "Hey, you guys remember when half of Totallympics freaked out about Tokyo 2020 being cancelled? And everyone posted every single new case of corona in his country here in the corona thread with 60 pages?"
  20. LowerSaxony
    Are you registered for the Democratic pre-elections? It's not that anybody can vote in the primaries, is it?!
  21. LowerSaxony
    Don't know, but the problem is that we have a "prisoner's dilemma" here: Whoever moves first, loses (voters, power, posts etc) None of the two big parties has an incentive to split as they know that they will lose all elections for sure if they do.
  22. LowerSaxony
    Because the super dysfunctional US election system punishes that party which splits first.
  23. LowerSaxony
    Shaking hands has basically stopped here, but everything else goes like we are used to. Luckily, in Germany only few people kissing each other on the cheeks to say hello Today, my employer has decreed that everyone has to do home office for the entire March if there is no urgent occasion to meet people in person. That means I have to come to office exactly once this month for a meeting
  24. LowerSaxony
    And Chloe Dygart improves the WR by 3 sec in the first IP heat of the day She seems to have overlapped her opponent twice
  25. LowerSaxony
    Maybe she was exhausted from her 5 hour sauna session to bring down her body weight?
