Steve Beaton against Diogo Portela, that sucks, I want both to win

Yes, specifically when being logged in. There was an authorization issue leading to all kinds of problems, but when you were not logged in, everything was fine (I noticed I couldn't open YouTube on my phone, where I'm logged in, but I could on my work laptop, where I'm not logged in)

Reit im Winkl FIS races https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/event-details.html?sectorcode=CC&eventid=47616&seasoncode=2021 Although they're postponed (for now) instead of cancelled. The only significant chance at having some preparation races before the cross-country skiing world championships for our resident Brazilian, but alright, we'll try and simulate some races on the Veluwe

'Hard lockdown' incoming from tonight on, apparently, although I'm still annoyed by the use of the term lockdown (Wuhan had a lockdown). Partially due to a huge increase in new daily cases (going from 6k earlier in the month to nearly 10k a day now) and partially because of Germany's decision to close a whole lot of stuff tihs week, which would otherwise lead to half of Germany going to the Netherlands - history has shown that's not a good idea. Apparently only supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies and such will remain open, but that's all your standard 2020 stuff in Europe/the world anyway No way gyms remain open, so we'll have to improvise (maybe with some tyres or heavy bags) for a certain Brazilian Totallympian to keep up the strength training if coming here this week actually works out

These were the problems last time. I spent God knows how many hours trying to find this list and even trying to keep it updated myself (because the points per race are always posted after every race, but the total list is a non-published secret even though it's incredibly important once you look outside of the top nations), but all I kept finding was one list from one trimester which happened to be somewhere on Biathlon Canada's website. One would think an important list, on which - among others - Olympic qualifying depends for a number of athletes, would not be impossible to find. Especially from a federation which generally has a very good results and PDF's system.

In terms of total quota per nation, I think so. There might also be individual spots again like last time, for a small number of athletes from nations outside of the top-X, which are handed out based on a ranking that's not publicly available (the IBU Qualifying Points List).

Aquamarijn sounded so Dutch, but apparently not. My surprise was fairly big when seeing Yvonne Losos de Muniz - who really looks as Caucasian as people can look - was born in Nigeria It's just not what I expected, but interesting

I just wanted to avoid you or someone realizing a possible mistake later and having to search for where the error was, it was only meant helpful

Just pointing towards the Road to Beijing thing: not sure what the 'rules' for that are on Totallympics, but these are non-Olympic events

Excellent last competition, these were very entertaining world championships

NEVER close the Player early, especially in speed disciplines If you have no time left, just pause for later and then watch it later while making use of the skip 15 seconds button at least

Sweden's Nils van der Poel was a very promising 10k rider 3-4 years ago, but since he won the 10k at the world allround championships in March 2018 he didn't compete in any serious race anymore (he did run a 171km ultramarathon in under 21 hours, it's not like he was lazy ). Today he made his comeback in Inzell.....destroying his 10k PB by nearly 20 seconds to 12:46, only five guys have ever been faster He is back and the 10k keeps on getting more and more interesting!

He ran and won in Vienna today and finished in what was basically a solo 2:11.07, which is both awesome (he was a chain smoker who picked up running 8 years ago and this was only his second marathon) and sad (Futselaar is out already now).

Some track worker entering the course right when James Crawford passes by Luckily it went alright.

That's mostly because the commentator (at least the Dutch one) is there anyway and has nothing else to do Might as well stick around

Oh my, Martin Cater with bib 41 taking the lead Eurosport has already long gone Player-only here

Cameron Alexander looks hurt

Striedinger defecates on Kryenbühl's party

This race is not at all done yet.

Top-10 very, very, very much counts as having some week/day. Although it's of course not like she is some unknown name for people who follow cross-country skiing.

Ajax and Netherlands attacker Quincy Promes has been arrested this morning and is being suspected of stabbing a family member resulting in severe knee damage (and the only reason it wasn't worse is because other people present intervened), which could lead to a 4-year prison sentence Obviously it's way too early to actually expect any prison sentence, after all he only got arrested today and the "you're going away for a long time" line upon arrest only works in movies, but still

Crap! I can't even count anymore how many times Clarey seemed on the way to possibly win and then lost it at the bottom

Kryenbühl

Damn it Paris, so close. Great to see him in this shape again though

Eiduka is having some week
