Fancy way of saying you went to get a Big Mac.

Go Australia and Canada

22 gold medals among men and women. Switzerland won one, Sweden and Finland shared all others.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floorball_World_Championships Ok it's a melting pot of diversity compared to korfball and kabaddi, but still. Which all doesn't necessarily make the sport in itself less fun of course

I had not forgotten Dumoulin finishing 2nd in both the Giro and Tour, which is quite the performance (especially for a Dutch cyclist, but in general as well, Marco Pantani-like stuff). I had to google to see what you meant with Tour de Flanders

Meanwhile in Paris..

Yay, I'm 2 for 2 in 'end of the season predictions' in one weekend.

At least Arosa has been rescheduled instead of cancelled. https://www.fis-ski.com/en/freestyle-freeski/ski-cross/news-multimedia/news-multimedia/news/the-audi-fis-ski-cross-world-cup-event-in-arosa-rescheduled

First of all, Dumoulin > Terpstra. Second, random podium

Much to the surprise of absolutely nobody, Tom Dumoulin has won his 5th consecutive "Cyclist of the Year" award in the Netherlands, with Anna van der Breggen getting the women's award.

Netherlands beat Spain in literally the last second

I bet that won't stay the case for much more than a few months though..

What?

You must have me confused with @Olympian1010

Although I have to say, the worst thing of all of this was having to look at a message in freaking Comic Sans all day like we're 5-year olds That's just adding insult to injury man.

So I'll ask it again: is the forum hosted on a potato or on a web server? Because these things happen a million times more than on any healthy website or forum

Oh man what an awesome way to close out the winter sports weekend. Also the 73629th first time winner of this season.

LUUUIIIITZZZ YES YES this is so freaking awesome!!! Coming back from such a bad injury with finally his first World Cup win!!

Tumler on the podium, wtf

Former Olympic snowboard champion Nicolien Sauerbreij explaining on Eurosport that 'aggressive snow' doesn't mean the snow will actually come and attack you. Thank you for this insight, Nicolien.

Even if the weather is pure madness Nyman puts down epic runs in Val Gardena, the dude is like he's living there or something

Not to worry, that Dutch result (Marvin van Heek 8th in the Val Gardena downhill) was a huge, huge fluke and influenced by crazy weather....which led our NOC to decide it was a 'non-representative result' and so his 8th place didn't count as the 'one top-8 in a World Cup' he needed to qualify for the Olympics https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=AL&raceid=70987 Second place for Rok Perko, not just his only podium, but also his only top-10 in 141 (!) World Cup starts

The last Dutch top-8 in a men's non-combined event is more recent than the last Slovak top-8 in a men's non-combined event

The 21st century, most likely.

Going for points, good idea!

And quite possibly the last.
