That's sad

I would choose Saturday if it was up to me: free day for the majority of the population and you can watch the election shows and results and broadcasts all night long without worrying about waking up early the next day

But he has probably been trying that all week

I wish we had the same here instead of basically always voting on a Wednesday

If all this means Mijain Lopez is back, please for the love of everything mention me when he's gonna fight

That's ok, I only like adults anyway.

Well I don't see that as 'entertainment' as much as 'living'

One of those who were systematically doped by coaches from their early teenage years on

Those who don't care that they won the Champions League with EPO? I know none of the current players had anything to do with that time, but speaking about the club as a whole, it'd be cool to see them kicked out especially by the team they robbed all those years ago

Now I'm imagining Christiansen standing in front of his girlfriend juggling with some bowling pins or something, entertaining away

Yeah, let's quote posts with 8 YouTube videos in them without removing the videos from the quote

Bookmarked this post just in case Christiansen bites you in the ass.

Good that you're at least making exams instead of striking. I read that in Belgium children of certain schools are obligated to go to a climate march, which I think is not good at all...give them the choice if it's for one day, fine, but obligating it? No way.

For the single mixed you only need one guy though

Brazil is a 'nation'/federation. I mean, it all started 15 years ago or something with Leandro Ribela and one or two other pioneers, who's names I'm not sure about (possibly Helio Freitas was one of them). Nowadays there's a big shift between the old and young generation: Leandro Lutz, Fabrizio Bourguignon among the men, Mika Picin for the women, although they're not all competing anymore this season. I think they more or less started independently, but then there's the young generation: Bruna Moura, Gabriela Neres, Lucas Martins, Victor Santos, Caio Moreira (retired since a few years already to focus on personal stuff, I was sad to see him go but am happy to see he's happy and very well), all of whom started with cross-country and biathlon more or less via Leandro Ribela's social project Ski na Rua. There's also Matheus Vasconcellos in the Junior Cup, probably the Brazilian with the most potential, but he mostly grew up in Austria (speaks fluent Austrian-German with a thick local accent) and doesn't have that much to do with the project and all. On the other hand, in Greenland it's all Slettemark Australia is a whole different story that probably would require more reading material than the entire Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit universe, so not gonna get into that

In Christchurch?

Absolutely, and it keeps giving athletes from small nations some incentive to keep on competing because the federations get money per starting athlete Which then goes to the athletes (like Croatia, at least partially) or not (hello Brazil), but anyway it can offer some kind of help (if a national federation would use it wisely). IBU Cups are fun though No huge masses of people you have to push your way through*, quite a 'familiar' setting, pretty accessible and so on *although in Arber it is busy enough to not be able to stand at the front when the races are going on and you arrive too late or are pacing back and forth

I'm not sure about all the qualifying rules and quotas and stuff for Olympics/World Cups, I just know that for the IBU Cup there's really not much of a restriction as long as you represent a national federation and can handle a rifle safely

Does anyone know where results can be found from the Baku World Cup?

First point: Ukaleq - like anyone else as long as it's not more than X per nation - can start in the IBU Cup whenever she wants. To be able to start in the next trimester, she needs to get under 250 points at least once (shouldn't be a problem for her). If she somehow doesn't manage to get that, she has to skip a trimester and wait for the next one. Nation quota don't mean too much for the IBU Cup in terms of being able to start, I believe it's more a matter of getting some extra money if you have a certain rank. If you and I were to defect to Bhutan, start the Bhutanese Biathlon Federation and show that we're capable of safely handling a rifle, we would be welcome and allowed to represent our new nation of Bhutan in the IBU Cup even if we're lightyears behind, at least for one trimester.

And, you know, qualify

Maybe it in some way makes Ukaleq eligible to compete for her father's birth country

Still? I thought people were fed up with that after seeing this 72 times a year for a good number of years in the billion editions of 'El Clasico' (always presented as something huge even when it happened so often it barely was even special anymore)

Norwegian male talent is mad, the entire podium consisted of Norwegians of 1997.

Yes, that's what he said himself.
