Jokes about Sweden handball team?

Damn, that Hungarian comeback

And then there'll be a lot more which make you think "oh wait, isn't that the record in xx meters running?"

Most full-length triathlons completed by one person in one year?

I asked ChatGPT (the infamous AI that's been all over the internet recently) if an athlete can realistically combine singles and doubles luge, to see what it comes up with Who knew that doubles luge is an event where the athletes lie on their stomachs, I want to watch that. Doubles skeleton!

Schulting showing that she's simply a step (or two) above the rest of the competition within Europe.

Entertaining Bahrain Darts Masters the past two days, with two impressive showings by the Asians: Alain Abiabi and Man Lok Leung were excellent. Abiabi isn't exactly the youngest, Leung is taking it serious and has been playing some UK tournaments as well, he's a name for the next few years. Looks good as well in terms of style, whereas Abiabi throws....odd. Really, really odd. Search for it.

The first ever Indian Winter Olympic medal is close! Journey towards Winter Olympic medal for India in Skiing at 2026 Milan Cortina, Italy. https://in.linkedin.com/in/bhavani-thekkada-nanjunda-502310161 https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/athlete-biography.html?sectorcode=cc&competitorid=260257 Among other things, she won gold and three bronze medals in the Khelo India Winter Games, and she competed in the FIS races in Iceland! Under 300 points is not bad at all, to be fair, although I have a feeling that a medal in 2026 might be a tad optimistic.

The New Zealand Cycle Classic disagrees with you, after having the 4th stage today

Second place starting 2:05 minutes after the winner of the ski jumping in the Nordic combined And it's not even the women's event

No goodbye podium for the Kugelblitz Still, what a massive career, hopefully he can end it in style on the Streif!

Teams can and sometimes do withdraw from relays, you're perfectly allowed to do so. Usually those are the lower-ranked teams, such as Bendika taking some rest and so the Latvian single mixed relay having a DNS last week, or Belgium that sometimes has a full team and sometimes doesn't. There's no reason why the top teams can't do the same if they wish.

Sweden of all teams having nobody else left, damn. Still should be a very solid podium candidate of course. If Öberg had said that a bit earlier, surely they could have let someone come over from Pokljuka's IBU Cup team...

Noriaki Kasai is alive! This morning at the Continental Cup he had his first competition as a 50-year old! Sure, 37th, but still! And tomorrow he can go again, twice even! #roadtocortina2026 https://medias3.fis-ski.com/pdf/2023/JP/3248/2023JP3248RL.pdf

women beat 31-25 in terms of shots on goal, yet lost 2-8 in terms of, you know, actual goals

Most homeruns by one player in the MLB?

It must be amazing to be able to get in some sort of trance in such a way that you can totally zone out and keep running for 24 hours The feeling of total exhaustion and pride afterwards though must be even more incredible! We'll never find out

Most consecutive shooting bouts with 5 hits?

Very impressive Japanse win in the cross-country skiing mixed team sprint. Didn't see that coming, at least not in that fashion

Well this is a nice and confusing schedule for the weekend alpine skiing. Four super-G's, one of which being cancelled, two of which being the speed portion of the combined, and a separate men's super-G?

Don't forget to copy the previous ranking and add the new point, but here it is for now Cool that so far every single point went to someone else hckosice - 1 heywoodu - 1 Olympian1010 - 1 ChandlerMne - 1 Belle - 1 Gianlu33 - 1

Mongolian avoided being lapped by a few seconds!

And the lady being the slowest of all the young Thai ladies who competed in South Korea recently. https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&competitorid=270212&raceid=42364

So make that 21 nations Still not bad of course. And lovely winter weather!

That looked like a very nasty injury for Franzoni Not even a hard crash in terms of speed, but it looked like he got into the netting very unfortunately, kind of looked like it snapped his leg back....
