  1. Yet another very good win for Croatian heavyweight Filip Hrgovic, this time against has-been Eric Molina who had no chance at all. Hrgovic is making his way up the ranks very nicely in only 10 fights so far.
  2. He is very welcome to come train in the Netherlands
  3. Oh, I had missed that I guess Well jeez, thanks Russian government, again
  4. Yeah......until you decide to check out some of the Russian sports news websites where the cross-country sections have a laser focus on Norway that's nothing compared to the focus in the big bad west on Russia
  5. FIS wants to kill classic anyway, the chance of skiathlon being dropped because it's half classic is bigger than there being significantly more skiathlons
  6. Yep, just like the more east you go the more people start to bitch about Norwegians. It's how it is, I prefer to not care too much about it and just like (or not) athletes. Don't like Johaug, do like Klaebo. Don't like Ustiugov, do like Bolshunov.
  7. Poor Oftebro, caught in the last 500 meters or so...thanks to the work of Ilkka Herola, who then immediately dropped from the group
  8. Bolshunov brings me excitement, so yes way Jose. No, not among a majority of people - it doesn't help that a majority of people is so nation-focussed instead of athlete-focussed.
  9. With the order being switched around every other time, finally. Always classic and then freestyle is old, nothing wrong with going freestyle and then classic once in a while.
  10. One of them, yes. I didn't say all core sports were ignored, since arguably number one, alpine skiing, is being streamed It's just pathetic they ignore so much.
  11. Analyzing (one of the many) factors that could potentially contribute to someone's success - because the ball being less easy to spot possibly makes it harder to 'win' a play, even though the effect might not be very big - is exactly what he is supposed to be talking about.
  12. Windsor knot, savoire-vivre, chemise, learning all kinds of things today.
  13. Not if last year was any indication, Eurosport had zero for the Youth Olympics. I think we're overestimating how many broadcasters are interested in showing something like this. And yes, not much against curling, but I find it highly unfair to have so much attention for it (and figure skating and ice hockey) when a boatload of core Olympic sports are entirely ignored, literally.
  14. Better a good one man army than no army at all
  15. And in the final race Marcel Bosker first takes off his cap to maybe try and cool down a little and then he just stood up and stopped (until his coach told him to keep going). Painful.
  16. Although it's more or less one team in reality.
  17. Haha what a race, wow Absolute 10k classic, everyone who thinks 10k should be removed can go and put their skates where the sun doesn't shine
