After Wright's 5th place, there was a second place for the ever-friendly Anna Weidel in the women's race, what a day it was Curious to see the rest of Arber.

Just woke up and took a look at what corrupt bullshit or blatant lies the American president had said/done during the night this time. Apparently, nothing! That's a.....weird feeling after four years

I had hoped for a full schedule, but this is a good start until ISU puts it online, thanks

Still no program anywhere?

Highlights of his final speech: "Me, me, me, lies, tremendous, greatest, lies, miracle, they're calling it a miracle, greatest, amazing, me, me, me." The dying ramblings of what is - among experts - unanimously seen as the single worst president in history. It's been...quite a ride.

First time in ages Melania Trump is actually smiling, I guess she is happy she's almost done with all this crap and can go and lead her life Wow, and she even talked a bit. Don't think I've ever heard that before

Also, it was promised four years ago, but 'Drain the Swamp' can now finally sort of begin, because in the past four years the swamp only got filled more and more And of course Mr Corrupt changed some executive orders to make sure certain people can actually keep lobbying, something he himself was against until it could be used in his favour.

What a festive moment, four years of insanity and a presidency based on nothing but lies, obscure bullshit and the idea of making himself a god is over, on to four hopefully boring, normal years Too bad Trump and his creepy family have insane amounts of highly secret knowledge by now, there is no way in hell they are not going to use that for their own gain, as they've been doing with literally everything in the past four years.

5th place for 18-year old Campbell Wright of New Zealand! It's insane how his shooting has improved over the summer, 0+0, 0+0 and now 0+1+0+0

The organization has now confirmed there will be no spectactors allowed at the world championships At least it ends a month-long time of doubt about whether or not I'd be able to go there and whether or not it would be responsible/smart to go there even if I could (think travel, insurance and so on).

Well that's too bad. https://i.imgur.com/z6hHeKz.mp4

Wow, just read this now...one of my all-time favourite TISC entries. Only 21

Columbus, lol.

Torn ACL, end of season

Poor young Åsne Skrede, 2nd athlete in the women's relay for Norway, arrived at the prone shooting in the lead group of three....only to miss all eight shots! She had three hits in her standing shooting, meaning she went 3 out of 16 today, damn.

Flipkens is absolutely right. And so is Cornet for calling the whole thing (especially the not being allowed to train) insane.

Well they didn't select Marvin van Heek for Sochi after his 8th place finish at the Val Gardena downhill, where a top-8 finish in a World Cup was required...so you never know (he had some luck with the weather, as these things go in outdoor sports sometimes, and so the race was not counted as 'representative')

There was (talk of) snow today! I mean, the table in our garden got a little white. I think.

I barely understand the problem in Dutch, let alone in English I do know it all started with a massive fraud by tons and tons of Bulgarians, who basically came to the Netherlands to say "Yeah I live here" (meaning they got welfare money to pay rent for a whole year in advance) and "Yeah I have X children" (same thing), got the welfare money on a Dutch account, went back to Bulgaria, took all the money off and never set foot in the Netherlands again. Quite literally free money without anything to do for it, millions of euros disappeared that way. That got a whole ball rolling in tax problems and such: it made rules stricter, but they kinda went too far and made certain rules too strict, which led to people being accused of fraud incorrectly, but having to pay big fines without really have a chance to prove they did not commit fraud. As always, there's some angry people, there's some people who think it's bullshit to have the whole cabinet step down because of it, and so on. Anyway, it won't have much effect since elections are in two months (planned) anyway. Personally I think Rutte will end up being prime minister after the elections again (for a fourth time). Everything on the 'right' to that is just an absolute mess (Thierry Baudet's 'Forum voor Democratie' being the top mess and Geert Wilders' 'Partij voor de Vrijheid' being just your standard 'all Islam should be illegal' kind of moronic talk), a whole host of options more towards the left is either incompetent or just less aligned with my ideas than Rutte's VVD. In the end, VVD is the - in my opinion - best option of the relatively centrist parties, the others in that area are just not my 'thing' (like D66, which often just swings from one side to another depending on what's their mood, or so it seems).

Yeah, good chance the Mexicans came to pick up some 'easy' money for starting (being 20+ minutes behind on skiing speed alone, one would find it hard to imagine they are in some way or shape trying to go to the Olympics in cross-country skiing for example and using this as preparation) Brian is also a part of the larger team the Australians and Brazilians are part of, by the way.

That's what happens when there's no first trimester and no Junior Cup

It's been fixed now. Bosnian Lalovic probably had rocket skis, surely it's not another timing issue!

What madness is this, somewhere around bibs 38-44 something went wrong obviously, but what?

The downhills are still on though. Plural, with the Wengen downhill sadly being forced to move already.

Of course, he's part of the same 'team' Brazil is a part of, so we've been following him for a while He has always had impressive speed in the Junior Cup, so it was a matter of waiting for a really good shooting day...and that has arrived
