She's sort of in the position Geisenberger had when she was still the second-ranked German behind Hüfner, Taubitz seems like the perfect bet to dominate the winter. I'm hoping Eitberger can challenge her and possibly win though, and who knows, if they take each other's points away in Europe, maybe Summer Britcher can do something with a good run in North America.

Biathlete* Also, why do you have an Astana user icon nowadays?

Of all Brazilian female cross-country skiers with a mountainbike background, she's definitely the most talked about on here.

None, I'm starting to feel like TOISC will be cancelled

Everyone but you knew that already..

Says one of the two hosts of TOISC 2019, great.

Would this one be a fan of the Swedish men's handball team then?

Not entirely sure how real this account is If so, welcome though. Big Mac or Quarterpounder?

Is Qatar still 'Qatar' in men's handball (like their world championships miracle team) or is it more like actually Qatar nowadays?

Now it's a matter of waiting for the first couple that actually started on Totallympics, for which I guess we'll have to turn our eye towards Serbia and, who knows, France.

Wow, now someone non-German could win the title!

Some news with the season a few weeks away. Former U23 world skiathlon champion Nathalie von Siebenthal of Switzerland has announced her retirement aged only 26, while Hanna Falk of Sweden is out for the entire season due to a back surgery to try and remove the problems she's had there for years. https://www.fis-ski.com/en/cross-country/cross-country-news-multimedia/news/2019-20/nathalie-von-siebenthal-sui-announces-retirement https://www.fis-ski.com/en/cross-country/cross-country-news-multimedia/news/2019-20/hanna-falk-out-for-the-season-2019-20

For Slovakia, yes

Yay, we play against the Kings of All Ball Team Sports.

Although this doesn't sound exactly hopeful

Makes absolutely perfect sense not to award it yet 12 years before the Olympics. Jeez, give it some time.

That's only going to make it even more impossible to watch everything though. You're gonna get a ton of situations where you have an Olympic final and a Paralympic final going on and really, a huge majority of people is going to choose to watch the Olympic one. Sad, but honest: when there's a Diamond League meet with some para-events (often in the UK I believe), I find myself often skipping those events when not watching live or turning away for a moment when watching live, because I'm just not very interested.

And because of that I'm happy it goes from two hours to one and a half hour. That gives Ziggo Sport, the one that shows DL in the Netherlands, half an hour more to show their screen with a list of which programs will be on tomorrow!

Nobody knows, but hey, IAAF.

Yonathan Monsalve and Mehdi Sohrabi are provisionally suspended apparently. That's two (former) gods of the Asian cycling tour in trouble, too bad

If you actually do three jumps during an attempt, you get a red flag

Welcome to the life of hammer throwers and, soon, triple jumpers.

And it's already afternoon in Europe since 27 minutes, how dare they!

This doesn't look good at all. Of course we already knew about the insanely stupid 90 minutes, which is only going to make the chance smaller of keeping the disciplines. No more 5k which makes absolutely zero sense, guessing the triple jump will be cut away as well because godknowswhy.

Hurray, can't wait to see which random Chinese city with no atmosphere they'll take
