This must be the kind of hunger sword swallowers feel. --> Vertical

I checked the whole thing against yours, because after the last vote India was stuck on 0....checked every country's total one by one...then after a simple refresh India suddenly moved to 8 points, as it should

Is the average daily surfing time per person more or less than 3 hours?

I just checked the entire scoreboard against the one I'm keeping (which is a boring looking one, not your fancy and much nicer looking one ), and everything is equal, so either we're both wrong, or more likely we are both right

Excellent, I really got to tidy things up here a bit Also, I've been following along with the scores, just in case and because I felt like it. Standings in the full order after 9 rounds: https://leaderboardhq.com/xy9mabui (I had started and just after a few juries, when catching up, realized OlympicIRL was doing it too, but then I thought 'ok lets just keep going now' )

Really though? I'm just picking the first Armenian result I see (it's easy to search on FIS website) and not a single of these names would make me doubt whether they're Armenian or Greek (or just Armenian or anything else)...like, at all

Huh, I had never thought of that before, but now that you mention it, I would totally believe 'Makedonas' being Lithuanian as well (even if it's only a nickname)

12 points for NED, I'll ignore the rest.

Quick question: could you do that in a spoiler next time? It'd be nice to keep the TOISC thread available also for those who want to watch a bit later

Whoah

Still 12 nations within douze points, lovely so far

This confused me as well

No idea if information is still really being published about it here, it's mostly become just 'part of life', kind of. The recent thing is that there's another round of booster vaccines going on, apparently, but mostly for older people.

Probably going to wait with sleeping until Bruna's flight to the Netherlands takes off, which is around 25 minutes before the Dutch voting time...so might as well wait for that as well then

That is unclear yet Step one is getting back home, which is hopefully tomorrow (her flight of today was cancelled). Then she'll need to get back to work: both work as in training, since in the burning heat in Brazil she simply had to put that down for a bit to not destroy her body, and actual work as in her job in the bike shop For now we're thinking of trying to find some races in Austria or Germany in January, possibly including the open Dutch championships (which are no FIS races) and maybe followed by the Austrian championships in Saalfelden. It depends a little on logistics, for example the wife of the bike shop owner is more and more planning to take their van and drive to Austria for a bit to go to some races together, which would help immensely compared to having to find your way with public transport Long story short: probably not in the World Cup this season due to mainly logistical reasons and focusing on other kinds of races for now

What the fuck, Ryyty and Shalygina, bibs 2 and 3, break their pole in the very first push of the race

Which is why I'd be fine with having this as a sort of 'every now and then', like the mass start, as long as a very large majority remains the regular Gundersen format

After all the earlier troubles specifically regarding formatting, I'm positively surprised there's flashy-looking scoreboards after all

I love this one Got to know it thanks to Sex Education

Good idea, I'll do that in a bit too! If I do it now, I think Eurosport will freak out

Wow, that new 'compact' format is....fucked up Basically a huge middle finger to every athlete in Nordic combined who's strength is more in jumping than skiing.

Kinda looks like Bilbo Baggins in his arrest.

Who could have guessed, Mario Balotelli has been involved in a big car accident (got off unhurt) and was most likely rather drunk. https://www.voxnews.al/english/sport/i-dehur-ne-timon-aksidentohet-mario-baloteli-video-i53158 I guess it had been quiet around him for too long, so he needed some new bit of drama to make sure everyone remembers he is still....well, that

And Germany redefines the meaning of collectively coming up just short

Well, she's already been on the snow for quite a few weeks now, I think barely a month after giving birth she already was I expected/knew she'd be back in competition soon, but I thought the plan was IBU Cup instead of already World Cup, that'd be cool
