    Maybe how much I cared makes up for that a little That was absolutely legendary. The raw emotion in the voice of the German commentator when it was decided is still firmly in my mind and I was cheering so badly for him to win

    I mean, without them having to be of one's own nation. Imagine the Netherlands has a world class biathlete (one) and he or she is just an arrogant asshole or something, why would I cheer for him/her instead of someone I like way more but who is from another nation?
  3. heywoodu
    I'd guess cheering for athletes instead of the flags behind their name solves most of that At least that's how it works for me when watching speed skating
  4. heywoodu
    Ah, the romance in the IBU Family Club
  5. heywoodu
    Jesipionok as well, I'm not sure about Dindaite. I just found an old document I used to analyze and compare athletes in those parts of the results lists and Lescinskaite and Vitkunaite are mentioned in that
  6. heywoodu
    Ah yeah, Gabriela Lescinskaite and Kotryna Vitkunaite mostly, I believe
  7. heywoodu
    USA and Germany surely wanted their events in prime time and people surely were working before 2014 already though
  8. heywoodu
    That's the regions of the IBU Cup where I've spent more time on analyzing it than the top of the World Cup

    That would have been an excellent performance, but 0T0Z isn't that terrible at all. It's just....roughly normal
  10. heywoodu
    You know they are speed specialists?

    I remember there were hours during Pyeongchang 2018 where I was playing a game during the (Korean) day. That says it all, I really don't have time to play a game for even 5 minutes during well-planned Olympics..

    Sure, but she's only 19 and it's her debut, she does have a bit of time to start growing into that Last season she has already shown she can very much hold her own in the IBU Cup upper half. Which is not a promise of a top-30 finish in the World Cup, but definitely shows she has the potential to at least challenge for a top half finish. Which would be a more than excellent start.

    That news is a happy, happy end to the weekend, merci! It's been a long time since I've been so excited to see someone's World Cup debut in any sport.
  14. heywoodu
    Aw yes, awesome! Again days with 2-3 hours with one hundred million finals going on at the same time followed by 3 hours of sometimes even literally nothing going on! Fantastic! Uuuuugh.
  15. heywoodu
    Jeez, Otepää isn't having a happy time are they? I feel like this is the umpteenth event there that had to be cancelled due to external factors in the past two years or so
  16. heywoodu
    We've got common ground as well, as I generally cheer for Sarah Beaudry And for one of the Chinese girls, but sadly she's not in the World Cup that often. Wierer....let's just say I feel sort of the same about her as @Werloc does about Ilmars Bricis

    Not specifically my favourites (although there's nobody on there I dislike even a single bit), but that looks like an excellent list Mari Eder does deserve a special spot, especially that epic win in Oslo would have almost made one think someone was cutting onions nearby.
  18. heywoodu
    I already had to wrap my head around my girlfriend being two years younger than my younger sister and my younger sister's boyfriend being several years older than me, so yeah Anyhow, other than Lithuanians and the always present ghost of Kaisa, who are you cheering for? Can I interest you in an extra cheer left or right for a hit by young Ukaleq or a good performance from the truly friendly Weidel? You know, if you're in need of someone to cheer for after Kaisa has left us
  19. heywoodu
    I think you didn't tell this story here before, but I know you told it to me once, years ago It is a reason why I don't like Bricis though, since I think the fault in a situation like this (person A dating person B whilst being married with person C) is with the married/'unavailabe' person (him, in this case). If not entirely, at least 95% of it. So, yeah, we do at least have something in common in terms of one person we don't like
  20. heywoodu
    I know Bendika as being nice from other things than media though (if @brunamoura, who personally knows her, says she is nice and friendly, I definitely believe so), so I'm for sure cheering for her. Although I'll be cheering most for Anna Weidel this World Cup season And some of the Swedish women as well. And Lena Häcki And the young Slettemark girl, but I doubt we'll see her in the World Cup yet. Same thing for Lotte Lie and Rieke de Maeyer
  21. heywoodu
    Crap @brunamoura
  22. heywoodu
    Morbidelli must be so glad he isn't the one relegated to Yamaha's other team
  23. heywoodu
    If Pol Espargaro keeps this up (and Dovizioso, Espargaro and Viñales keep up their mediocre performanc), he's going to end up in 4th in the championship standings, on a KTM. That is some performance and very much makes him deserve the Repsol Honda seat next year. Then it's just a matter of hoping that very specific bike works well for him.
  24. heywoodu
    Did Oliveira get himself a 1500cc machine or what?
  25. heywoodu
    Sure he'll always be his son, that's how biology works. By now he is definitely his own rider though and only mediocre media would still keep calling him 'the son of Wayne Gardner' next year.
