    Considering the total and blatant amateurism the Russians have been displaying the past two weeks, yes, I absolutely believe that
  2. heywoodu
    I see they do indeed have something. Too bad NOS livestreams suck in the sense that one can only see them live, not later. I highly doubt they'll show any cross-country skiing, but we'll give it a try tomorrow morning.

    Thread about the secure comms super fail:
  4. heywoodu
    So Russia developed a secure communications system, Era. Excellent, most countries do and it's the way to work, no doubt. Guaranteed to work everywhere. However, it needs 3G/4G to work....which the Russians knocked out in cities like Kharkiv. And so they can't use their own secure comms system. And so they're using regular mobile phones, which made it possible to intercept a call between FSB agents confirming the death of an important general.

    Unavailable, sadly. Nothing official anywhere? Too bad Eurosport doesn't have these rights.
  6. heywoodu
    I can, but it only has some ice hockey and curling I can see, no skiing

    Can the Paralympics actually be viewed live anywhere? Or on-demand, even better? I haven't seen a thing yet, but would like to see tomorrow's cross-country sprint..

    Since Russia has clearly been sending mostly their 18-year old conscripts, who thought they'd go on a training mission, to the fronts in Ukraine, together with a massive bunch of old machinery, vehicles that fall apart out of misery and no fuel and food, maybe the serious Russian army is still waiting to defend against Japan?

    Oh absolutely. Winter sports in general are less competitive, let alone their para-versions. I'm still having 'hope' for Cristian for the sprint, which is his strongest event. Especially considering the amout of enormously intense training they've thrown in the past months, it's no surprise their endurance went way down, hopefully in favour of their explosive power, so to say. Especially Cristian got like 6 times bigger compared to barely a year ago, surely there must be some more power there

    Kind of hard to compare paraskiing with non-paraskiing though. One can imagine the strength of the field is a bigger difference than the order in which the heats are run.

    Just out of sincere curiousity and in no way meant as an 'attacking' question: how would it be fair to athletes (other than this Kuliak dude) to take away medals they won fair and square (presumably) weeks before their government decided to attack another nation? It won't 'teach them a lesson', because government and people won't care, and the only ones who do care (the athletes) had nothing to do with the whole thing.

    Although training on sites daily makes some difference, it's not like it puts you literal minutes ahead in a sport like cross-country skiing I do wonder where they opened this can of disabled athletes from all of a sudden
  13. heywoodu
    These Chinese results are insane 2014: no medal 2018: 1 gold 2022 after one and a half days: 6 gold, 4 silver, 6 bronze
  14. heywoodu
    Is there a better results website (official) than this one? Because this is awful https://www.paralympic.org/beijing-2022/schedule Edit: never mind, this seems better. https://results.beijing2022.cn/beijing-2022/paralympic-games/en/results/all-sports/paralympic-schedule.htm

    I think I had missed some, but today alone I heard the following: Biathlon Benjamin Weger Erik Lesser Nordic combined Eric Frenzel Johannes Rydzek And Kjetil Jansrud had his last alpine skiing World Cup today.
  16. heywoodu
    There are no sanctions though? Or does he mean the special financial operation that has been going on?
  17. heywoodu
    What a weird but interesting course And I knew Oldham would go for a top-4, at least!
  18. heywoodu
    World Cup finals won't be replaced, so Falun next week will be the end of the (World Cup) season. That definitely increases the chances for Nepryaeva to hold and get her title.
  19. heywoodu
    In one hand of course not surprising, on the other hand it's not like I expected a "tomorrow is my last professional race"
  20. heywoodu
    Positive test and so no participation for challenger Engebraaten
  21. heywoodu
    Just a reminder for everyone with a cross-country heart: Sunday is the Vasaloppet
  22. heywoodu
    Or all of a sudden we see pictures of him in the Marathon des Sables
  23. heywoodu
    He performed well, but got bored and left for a few years, and then got back and performed even better and now it's on to the next goal
  24. heywoodu
    Yeah but that has been the one constant in sports
  25. heywoodu
    As expected, to be honest A shame, but he very much seems like someone who would retire as soon as he reached his goal, in order to go straight to whatever next goal he has in life
