On the bright side: that makes it even more clear it was their wax that was great in the morning, not their veins

Plus planning something like that is just pretty normal in their situation. I mean, yeah, Beijing 2022 is going to get a lot harder if they'd get pregnant a year later and if they wait until after the Olympics, they might feel like they want it faster. Of course it's no coincidence so many female athletes get pregnant in the 1-2 years after the Olympics

Apparently half the women's Russian team (apart from Nepryaeva basically) is pregnant....on advice of their coach (as in, "if you want that and you want to go to the Olympics, better try it now than closer to the Olympics") I hope that really is the reason, and not some sort of 'pressured' thing because some mad scientist found out pregnancy hormones make you stronger or something (which I've read something about long ago but can't find).

Last weekend's Supercars (final races of the season), some NFL highlight videos afterwards and in the afternoon track cycling, cross-country skiing and Nordic combined.

I can hardly hide my excitement about this. Oh well.

It is not though. At all.

I'd like a bucket of whatever the Italians put under their skis please

Ice climbing feels like it fits exactly in the category of sports you wouldn't want at the Winter Olympics (winter versions of summer sports) Like ice hockey of course, another winter version of a summer sport.

Much like when you finally get to go to a beach, within five minutes you'll be like "fuck I hate this damn sand everywhere"

Any doping news?

Just to avoid any doubt: my prediction post is edited because I posted it and then realized I had left one match empty, so I filled it in.

That doesn't work in that lovely Flashy website I wish their website was as simple (but functional!) as FIS' website still is.

I know the feeling, although I always start saying something like "That athlete from Deutsch-Südwestafrika is pretty....ah crap, I meant Namibia."

Has anyone figured out how to link the documents? For some reason, every single time I click on a PDF report, it just quickly opens and then downloads it after which I can only link the file on my computer but that doesn't help anyone.

But she already had, since she had a top-half finish at the junior world championships (unless that criteria only goes for the world championships qualification) In any case, now she definitely did indeed

Ah yeah, they should still be counting for a trimester.

I have three different, perfectly legal and free ways to watch luge (German TV, Eurosport and FIL) here in the Netherlands. Doesn't mean anyone outside of a handful of rare fans gives a crap about it

Rastic easily qualified for the World Cup in terms of IBU points needed, Jada sadly missed out by a couple of seconds, Crnkovic got even closer

Totally missed Lemmerer, only 5.7 seconds behind Fratzscher

He's 30 seconds behind after shooting 2 and skis around 25-30 seconds a lap faster than Peacock. Good fight

Pettersen found Rastorgujevs pace (only 0,2 seconds slower) and passed him in the last lap.

Ouch, first Walk of Shame of the season goes to Joachim Weel Rosbo: miss, miss, miss, miss, miss..........miss, miss, miss, miss, miss.

One miss too many for Andersen to threaten the new leader, Fratzscher.

They did indeed shoot perfectly clean, until their one miss
