@Monzanator Have you read anywhere why Zuk didn't start in the pursuit at the junior worlds, where she had a rather realistic medal chance after her sprint? I'd think it has something to do with going to Canmore for the World Cup, but on the other hand, the 1-2 hours of travel time one loses by participating in the pursuit shouldn't make much of a difference.

I know the feeling, travelling through several countries by public transport to end up somewhere in the middle of absolutely nowhere for 2nd tier biathlon

We were watching without the computer nearby Great race though, especially for people who picked Christiansen today in their private little prediction game

Kristoffersen, awesome Kristoffersen in the World Cup on giant slalom: - 1 win - 8 second places, 8 times behind Hirscher - 7 third places, 6 times behind both Hirscher and Pinturault

The more goes to Süd-Tirol, the better Although that's not the main part I believe (without taking the time to google exactly which places are or are not there )

Lol

Among fans, yes.

Well then I hope it won't happen and Baselga can remain for a while longer...Inzell has great times now, but since it's indoor it's just another random ice rink.

Liechtenstein 1st and 4th, awesome https://www.ibsf.org/en/component/events/event/193233

Same at world youth/junior champs, where for example this season three or four teams finished more than 20 minutes behind.

@phelps @Gianlu33 @otheritalians Rumours in the Netherlands have it that apart from Cortina and Milan, a third location could be added to the Italian bid, Val di Fiemme? Cross-country would be in Lago di Tesero and (more importantly of course ) speed skating in Baselga di Pine? The thing is, the rumours say that the speed skating track in Baselga would be covered in these plans, and so one more classic outdoor track would be gone Any word about this in Italian media? I really hope especially the Baselga part is not true

They most likely did, but not in every competition do you automatically get taken out of the race because of it

Girls' youth monobob in St Moritz today @hckosice https://www.ibsf.org/en/component/events/event/193234

Nearly a one and a half hour mixed relay

Knew it

In only her 25th individual World Cup race, while still being very, very young. That's just not even remotely 'bad', at all. There are tons of solid World Cup athletes who barely ever shoot 20/20 by the way. Not entirely sure who is criticizing Zuk, but they are being rather unfair.

Eight shots, eight misses, ouch.

Vlhova

As expected, most will be there

Didn't like him before, like him less already

These differences in the women's sprint Q (XC)

Oh no

Meanwhile Kenya is missing because Wanjiku is getting 0% of the support she said she was promised during the Olympics. https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2019/02/13/sabrina-ditched-kenyas-international-skier-cries-foul-as-ministry_c1893500?fbclid=IwAR0q12eST8En8-gAZorPqHjx5dAtGZrrYAImOFeKCg8bHze6MLFRgusqDuY

Aquatics - Artistic swimming: lol - Diving: 0 - Swimming: 1-4 (depending on the shape of Kromowidjojo/Heemskerk) - Water polo: 0-1 Archery: 0-1 Athletics: 1-2 (mad Dafne's coach left so she could get 2 medals by herself, potentially) Badminton: 0 Baseball/softball: 0-1 Basketball (incl 3x3): 0 Boxing: 0-1 Canoeing: 0 Cycling - BMX freestyle: 0 - BMX racing: 0-2 - Mountain bike: 0-1 - Road cycling: 2-5 - Track cycling: 0-3 Equestrian: 0-1 Fencing: 0 Field hockey: 1-2 Football: 0-1 Golf: 0 Gymnastics: 0-1 Handball: 0-1 Judo: 0-2 Karate: 0-1 Modern pentathlon: 0 Rowing: 0-1 Rugby sevens: 0 Sailing: 1-2 Shooting: 0 Skateboarding: 0 Sport climbing: 0 Surfing: 0 Table tennis: 0 Taekwondo: 0-1 Tennis: 0-1 Triathlon: 0 Volleyball (indoor): 0 Volleybal (beach): 0-1 Weightlifting: 0 Wrestling: 0 So anything from 6 to 35

Right, on a more serious note: who qualifies from today's giant slalom? Top-x or something?
