Mironova getting it right in an individual....I mean, it's possible, but in every race with more than 2 total shots it's a miracle if she keeps it under 2 misses She did destroy the IBU Cup fields in the past years though in those rare races where she shot well.

Wait, so the qualifying is on another run entirely than the race? Bring this in F1, qualifying for the Italian GP on Monza and the race at Imola

Calm down, calm down. On the FIS website there's now a document saying 'Results qualification race'. For the parallel event in Lech, there was a document 'Results qualification run' and (later!) came another document 'Results elimination run'. So I think we can assume the qualification run is indeed completed, but the second run is called elimination run and comes later.

Reading Slovak lists of names with Ctrl + H, 1.0 (Obviously it's clear who is who, I just always find it entertaining )

Ah, this is what I wanted to know. I mean, it sounds completely logical and fair, but you know...FIS, I wouldn't have been surprised if they had some weird thing saying in world championships everyone goes once (either on blue or red) and that's it

Slalom/technical specialists unite again in the fight for the medals Shiffrin vs Gisin vs Vlhova Pinturault vs Schwarz vs Meillard vs Ärni I'm going for Gisin and Schwarz, for what it's worth

On the bright side, technique will become less important and power/endurance more important if the tracks get so bad Something which I personally find not a bad thing at all. As long as there's enough snow to race of course, let's hope so.

This seems...slightly worrying for next week's world championships..

I'm a little confused now After the incident on lap 14 (?) and the subsequent red flag due to weather, it didn't restart anymore, did it? Just to know if I should avoid spoilers or if there's nothing to be spoiled yet

I tried this for a bit a while ago, coincidentally I just deleted the app a few days ago Excellent idea, although I'd have liked if there were not only local stations but also more 'national' radio stations. For example even for the Netherlands I basically only saw radio stations I'd never heard of, the most local of local things, which I found a little disappointing since I wanted to listen to the relatively big/main radio stations from other countries in one place. The whole idea behind it is quite awesome though, indeed.

That was received as excellent news here The main problem (for the team) was her joining the team to the Czech Republic after travelling by train (despite the trains not being very busy and her probably taking more care than anyone else for a long time now). Trust me, the cancellation of those races made an enormous shitload of doubts and complications disappear Meanwhile she finally managed to travel out of here and towards competition areas yesterday morning. We put her on a train trip towards the Oberstdorf region and since the German railways are....not the very greatest in the world, within 5 minutes of departure I already saw there were sudden major issues on her route, so I spent the rest of the Sunday (succesfully!) navigating her from train to train and steering clear of all the trouble. Fun fact: all the delays and the subsequent changes in routes and trains meant she ended up at her destination nearly one hour earlier than originally planned because the detours were done with the fast ICE trains Anyhow, our resident Olympic hopeful has made it to the Oberstdorf area yesterday afternoon and is, for all intents and purposes, ready to race at the world championships!

Jesus what a race

Time for Nils van der Poel, let's see what the insane hype of the past two months will bring

Meanwhile rumour has it poor old Janne Hänninen is still going out on every 400m track he can find to skate 500m under 35.00 seconds...

Wow, insane 5k by Schouten

Yeah, importing the points (not the finish results) seemed to be the biggest issue. It's alright for one or two races, but typing that in manually for dozens of races throughout the season...there's just a major lack of time. I've tried converting their PDF's with the points, but it always ends up being skewed one way or another.

Where the fuck did Baumann go

And he sticks the landing!

A ranking with the following input: - Every single IBU Qualifying points result (for the qualifying period, which I don't know in my mind what exactly it is) for all sprints and individuals in the World Cup, IBU Cup and their respective championships, like this document: https://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/2021/BT/SWRL/CH__/SMSP/C74Q_v1.pdf And the following output: - A ranking (with athletes, not nations) with I believe the average of each athlete's five best results. It could also be the average of the three best results, I'd have to check.

No worries, because of the problems about joining the team suddenly appearing today, we had already scratched the hope of her competing there. We've spent the past few hours making alternative plans, for now the plan is to go to a place near Oberstdorf tomorrow (there's a Brazilian couple living near who are willing to help with driving around and such), and stay on her own there for a week or so. Let's see if this plan sticks.

Huge, huge Brazilian record (FIS points in European snow races, not counting free points in Brazilian rollerski races) for Manex Silva in Austria today! https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&raceid=38497 Presumably it's not going to be enough for him to get the Olympic ticket yet, since there will be races in Brazil during the year where his opponents can get relatively easy points, but at some point they can't look past him anymore..

Do your commentators also keep thinking that first measurement is a split time? The Dutch one does, all the time, for example he thought Muzaferija had the lead for a bit.

And to add to that: the IBU qualifying points rankings are kept on a secret list, which is only handed out to federations and not made public anywhere. Unless you make the list yourself, but I tried hard for 2018 and that's nearly impossible unless you're a real Excel magician.

A word please.

To be fair, Austria's choices in women's downhill are rather limited lately.
