  1. Arturs Darznieks must be one of my favourite co-commentators in the sport He's commentating with such a 'dry' sense of humour, I love it.
  2. But that was already on Friday and Saturday, although they accidentally named it downhill. This is not even a giant slalom in disguise, it's simply a giant slalom
  3. And that's a wrap for Marsaglia's hand.
  4. Right, time for the super-S (since it's more like a super-slalom...if only there was a name for the event between slalom and speed )
  5. 6 correct answers
  6. The first one isn't exactly a 'mishap' as much as a tragedy, the last one would not be a mishap neither since who cares Semantics, I know, but since the question suggests all answers are mishaps I thought I'd mention it
  7. Yep. One of his sons, Fabien Claude, got his very first World Cup podium and his very first 20/20 shooting the day after hearing his father was missing and most likely gone. He was the father of three biathletes by the way, not two.
  8. Good luck!
  9. Former Dutch international Rob Rensenbrink has passed away aged 72, after fighting a muscle disease for years. He is, at least here, mostly known for the 1978 World Cup Final in and against Argentina. After days of harrassment (think stuff like locals trying everything to make as much noise as they can outside the hotel, all kinds of threats and so on), the Dutch team still managed to fight back to 1-1 thanks to a 82nd minute goal by Dick Nanninga. In the dying seconds, Rensenbrink had the chance to make history, but hit the post...leading to extra time in which Argentina won.
  10. Goes to show how interested I've been in the Sebring endurance race
  11. Xi Winnie Jinping sneezed...
  12. It's because outside of the US some non-die hard motorsports fans still like the Indy 500, it's famous and all...some have maybe heard of the Daytona 500 but won't really watch it or ask "isn't that that thing with Earnhardt?". I think pretty much none of the people who are not hardcore motorsports fans here have never even heard about the Daytona and Sebring 24 hours. I can honestly say I've watched tons and tons and tons of races in my life, but those two 24h races are both not on the list apart from maybe a few minutes and then tuning out. Bathurst 100 seems awfully short
  13. About freaking time he won a stage there He has finished top-10 in 19 (!) stages there, including eight 2nd or 3rd places, but without ever winning a race - and no, it's generally not a very strong field. Also Algeria's first ever stage win in the Bongo, about time.
  14. Is there really no better way in shorttrack to show the classification leader than those red caps? I mean, you're there with some awesome custom helmet design...but if you're doing great, you have to ride around with a lame piece of red cloth covering it
  15. If you read it as disqualifying the athletic ability required, go ahead. It's entirely wrong, since that's not at all what it says or means and I am very well aware they have superb abilities like anyone in the top level of sports, but feel free to read it how you want.
  16. Yeah, I am aware the X Games is a bigger thing in these 'pants on your knees and whatever looks cool gets good points' kinda events
  17. The movie is already being made.
  18. That does seem to work, yes Although then it goes on to list every single forum you've selected and that takes up more space than I had hoped to save by eliminating the national threads from the list So never mind
  19. It makes it even weirder though
  20. The previous mixed relay was 4x6km
  21. Well Brazil got a top-20 in the IBU Cup, nothing surprises me anymore https://www.biathlon.com.ua/en/results/id-768-bansko-2010-2011-sprint-7.5-km-zhenshtini?l=141
  22. S. Eder's father was in that race too I see
  23. Yeah, I was looking for the best ever Estonian results. All wonderful for Parve, but her results are sadly Soviet results. Thanks, so first ever World Cup podium for Estonia
  24. A quick Google search suggests she had plenty of podiums...for the Soviet Union
  25. Nah, no way Bescond was still going 100% at the end
