    Huh, now it works. When I checked that exact page a few minutes before, it went straight to the next random video Alright, I'll give it a few minutes after the runs then. Used to that with the awesome FIL platform anyway I still don't notice any improvement. Quality is the same on my screen and the live functionality has decreased, but alright. Hopefully at least IBSF stays on YouTube, which is still far and away the very best platform for these things.

    Cool, the first run replay is already not available. That's promising.

    Seems like the Olympics.com player is only able to go back roughly one minute during a live broadcast (suggesting one can also just pause it for a minute or so before it starts playing automatically), wtf?

    That's the pre-recorded POV run to show the track though, they've been doing that at the start of broadcasts (including the angles, G-force, speed) for a while now

    22.000 people would be a nice change, a little less massive can be good, especially when it's in a truly unique setting other than just another big stadium. Too bad it's apparently only the Paralympic ceremony and not both.

    New Orleans Pelicans (basketball) player Didi Louzada has tested positive for not one, but two kinds of steroids. Obviously a four-year ban or something....except it's the US/NBA and so he's back eligible to play in under two months (25 games) Oh US, you are hilarious.

    Which new graphics have you seen so far that I haven't?
  8. heywoodu
    New intro music At least it's still Tim Singer to welcome us!

    Soooo....where is the live stream? It only links to the broadcast schedule in which run one is now gone. Edit: Right, here it is. https://olympics.com/en/sport-events/2021-fil-luge-eberspacher-world-cup-yongqing/?slug=luge-doubles-run-1-eberspacher-world-cup-1-yanqing Let's hope the on-demand and pause functionality and so on is directly translated to the new platform.

    I'll gladly welcome them with a nice cup of hot chocolate, nothing to hide here since it's paracetamol only for basically everything

    In happier news, check the 'Residence' here, since today https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/athlete-biography.html?sectorcode=CC&competitorid=194536&type=summary

    Which German cross-country portal is that? Just out of curiousity, so I can add it to my bookmarks

    Austria is taking the next - possibly slightly questionable - step, by making vaccinations obligated from February on. One wonders what will happen to those who refuse, will they be thrown in prison and/or be hunted down with a vaccine-shooting rifle or something?

    What exactly is this Arena Scaligera? Googling gives some indoor hall of some volleyball team but also an epic Roman theater....which would be absolutely amazing And Bormio seems cool

    Just reading this now, but that's truly a shame. Probably a smart decision though, it's always best to listen to one's own body even when you're an Olympic medal candidate.

    Quite the decisive Nations Cup win for Kristers Aparjods! https://www.fil-luge.org/cdn/uploads/nationscup-men-yanqing-result.pdf

    Well that sucks balls FIL had one of the very best players of all federations, with every run being easily available in a very, very easy overview instead of the sort of labyrinth that is the Olympics website... I do assume every single run will still be available on-demand and so on? That link is not so promising yet, no idea where to actually find things and I badly hope they won't have some spoilers in the video titles...
  18. heywoodu
    You've got your next thing going on for the next three months huh?
  19. heywoodu
    The whole disappearance thing is the most worrying part though.

    Three years ago he was surprisingly and sort of out of nowhere appointed as coach of the Dutch sprint team, now Hugo Haak has just as surprisingly announced his retirement from the team - two months after signing the contract until Paris 2024. He's guided the team to quite a few successes in those three years (WK and EK is World/European championships, OS/ES is Olympic/European Games):
  21. heywoodu
    That was awful, again
  22. heywoodu
    Who knows....they also announced Kensington will continue, it's just that this singer will leave after the upcoming tour
  23. heywoodu
    I am now desperately trying to figure out which part could sound like that
  24. heywoodu
    Damn, little bunch of rule-breakers in Kazakhstan past weekend https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&raceid=39470 Women's race also had three not following the marked course. Makes you wonder whether the course was actually marked well.
  25. heywoodu
    It is a sort of 'joke' song of course, since the story is meant to be fun and nothing serious at all. It is considered a valuable one in terms of Dutch language though, since Drs. P is absolutely majestic when it comes to playing with words. Then again, without being a (preferably native) Dutch speaker, that part is obviously hard to understand About Kensington: this week, their singer has announced he is going to retire from the band
