    Seeing all these athletes drop down at the finish utterly and completely exhausted to the very core of their soul....what a sport

    Podium for Sophia Laukli

    First World Cup victory ever for a French woman, of course it is ultimate climber Claudel
  4. heywoodu
    Yeah, Karlsson is really showing that this is her first time, she went for a lot of chocolate very early on
  5. heywoodu
    Niskanen with an attack of Weng's 2nd place. And Claudel on the way to history!

    Eva Urevc still within the top-15 on Alpe Cermis of all places, incredibly remarkable transformation this season, wow.
  7. heywoodu
    Karlsson really, really underestimated the monster that is Alpe Cermis. About to totally blow up.

    Watching this endless suffering is so good every year

    Been in Adelboden ten years or so ago for the giant slalom and slalom and yes, the atmosphere is like nothing else. Absolutely fantastic, and everyone gets cheered on hard by the fans

    Meanwhile the women's ski jumping part was cancelled, but strangely enough, not a single word about...well, what now? Usually the PCR would simply replace the ski jumping competition round, but for whatever reason there is no mention of that. Edit: right, PCR can apparently not be used for mass starts, according to the rules. Weird.

    They learned from Gerard van Velde (Kok's coach), who used to simply do a full lap super slow to recover after a false start He was visibly laughing, together with Leerdam's coach (who used to be his coach as well), when they were doing the same

    Incredible 5k by Eitrem, throwing in three 28's like old-school Sven Kramer Definitely going to be one of my highlights of the winter season. Young athlete, incredible race at a major championship in front of a full home crowd. Fantastic.

    Looks like Selina Gasparin is not entirely done yet, easily winning today's Alpencup sprint in Lenzerheide https://winter.racetime.pro/en/biathlon/international/2022-2023/event/400/results/competition/919/course/7447

    That is so much too much work for breakfast. Between the moment I get up to pick my breakfast and I start eating, I think there is roughly one minute, one and a half on a slow day, and it really shouldn't be any longer

    No, but of course it would be rather inappropriate to have the Russian flag swinging around left and right at this very moment Personally I'm not against Russian athletes competing under a neutral flag or something like that, but definitely not under their flag right now.

    No CNN alert has scared me so far, there isn't going to be some massive boycot or something Best case scenario: every single country competes in Paris in 2024 and this whole current mess is behind us. Unlikely, thanks to Russia obviously. Worst case scenario: Russia, Belarus (because banned) and maybe Ukraine (because other priorities) aren't competing, but the rest will.

    The women's season is being quite fun so far and the Tour de Ski no less so After Tiril and Lotta Udnes Weng both getting their first ever World Cup victory, today Katharina Hennig sprinted to her very first won in impressive fashion That was a fun race and especially a fun last kilometer, impressive work by Niskanen as well all throughout the second half of the race.

    After already getting several 2nd place finishes in the IBU Cup, the level directly beneath the World Cup!
  19. heywoodu
    Yeah, not much doubt about that one I mean, it wasn't exactly exciting to watch in terms of being tense, but yeah, that's to his credit. Magnificent performance.
  20. heywoodu
    Also, Q School will start in a few days, and Corey Cadby is back. Oh boy.
  21. heywoodu
    I am awfully surprised Italian commentary exists for darts In a good way!
  22. heywoodu
    And today doesn't exactly help: Russia announced a cease-fire from their side (so they can blame Ukraine of breaking it) during their Christmas days this week, yet today they're already firing As always: you can trust Russian authorities blindly, because you know they'll do exactly the opposite of whatever they promised and announced.

    Rare Swedish and Ukrainian podium places in today's Nations Cup races. Slovak podium as well @hckošice https://www.fil-luge.org/en/news/nations-cup-victories-for-sandra-robatscher-langenhan-and-rieder-kainzwaldner-in-sigulda-lat

    Supersprint qualifying in Brezno is underway, and it all looks equally depressing as the winter sports competitions in Germany, Croatia and so on these days

    With exceptions for, among others, long-term students and people who work there. Basically, the people who can't are tourists or people looking for some vacation home, and investors who do nothing but drive up the prices infinitely.
