Madagascar's only licensed cross-country skier is back in action after his only two previous results 4+ years ago https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&raceid=32591

They don't see the difference anyway

Check out 18-year old Norwegian Ragne Wiklund in the B-group https://live.isuresults.eu/events/2019_JPN_0001/competition/14/results She came in with a PB of 2:00.02, from last March's world junior champs in Salt Lake (where Beune and Leerdam both skated low 1:54's, so the ice was great).

'Our'. Stop being lazy and pay attention in school

Not specifically surprising, I just like seeing Slovakia in the final for my dude @hckosice

It quite often is the federation indeed.

Awesome! Hello, welcome and feel free to join in any discussion

World champions

Much as I hate to say it, I hope the Slovaks get 0 results this season. Nothing against Slovakia, nothing against the athletes, but 100% because I would love to see the federation be in trouble by a complete and utter lack of results. Banning athletes from competing because they won't sign your little contract...the fuck do you think you are? The Emperor of the World?

Absolutely.

#FartGate in the darts after the match between Wesley Harms and Gary Anderson. Harms said "some things happened....smelly things", after which Anderson denied having farted and in fact he said he thought Harms had been busy releasing some extra gas. Interview with Harms is in Dutch, but with Anderson it's in English (I couldn't understand half of it as usual because of his accent, but ok).

They really need to stop putting the reserves in the official results, or at least put an (R) or something behind their name. This is annoying, if you didn't watch you have no idea who actually skated.

Taiwanese dude is so weird. On a good day he goes well under 35 and now he finishes dead-last (except for a faller) in the B division. https://live.isuresults.eu/events/2019_JPN_0001/competition/2/results

Wow, this is just humiliating for the German women. Getting lapped by the awesome Japanese team within barely two minutes.

Awesome! And the one with the flags looks cool! I'll send them to him and see what he says, but I'm pretty sure this is what he wants, thanks man

Hi

West of what now?

Came here to say exactly that I can understand we can't always see 2 or 3 or 16 Prevc's, but not even one?

Did it have to be in a city with that impossible name though?

Here if you say hi in Japanese or Chinese in a Japanese or Chinese restaurant they're just like "huh? Dude stop" I think I had pastel too in Brazil (Brasilia), but again that's too long ago to be sure of which kind exactly.

Yeah that's a hard pass on the shrimps, but thanks for the rest I believe I tried caldo de cana when I was in Brazil, but that's too long ago to really remember it. I do know I tried coconut water straight from a fresh-cut coconut and now, 9,5 years later, I'm still trying to get that taste out of my mouth. I'll probably only have 1-2 full days in São Paulo though (and longer in São Carlos and Caraguatatuba, but especially in that second one I'm already promised several churrasco's ), so I'll have to make some choices (and it's not entirely up to me), but the pastel definitely sounds like a must-try. One with cheese, one with ground meat, one with chicken, one with ham and maybe one with shrimps so I can say "I'm getting fat, I'll just not eat the shrimps one".

@bestmen, my biggest Algerian friend ever, you're good with Photoshop/gifs, aren't you? A friend of mine is looking for a 'moving background' on these photos and asked if I knew someone who could help with that Honestly I don't know what the plan is with the second and third photos, but with the first one moving clouds would be nice Any ideas?

And still it is absolutely, completely, totally unbelievable China didn't finish their sliding track years ago... Of course winning sliding gold is not easy, but it is definitely the 'easiest' gold medal to come up with out of relatively nothing. For any host nation, especially those new in sliding sports, a sliding track should be the absolute first priority in terms of finishing venues. Having a ski jump ready 2 or 5 years before the Olympics makes barely any difference, having a sliding track ready 5 years before the Olympics makes for an immensely bigger chance of gold than having it ready 2 years before.
