It looks like this entire decade only South Asia will have Olympic champions in Men's Javelin. After India and Pakistan, it's time for Sri Lanka. World number 1 and 2 this year by throws are Sri Lankans and it's a no nonsense distance. One of them ditched a career in cricket in favour of Olympic glory.
 
As of now Rumesh Tharanga leads 21 year old sensation Sumedha Ranasinge

Maja Said she cried during the race after she heard who won, when she still had some kilometers remaining😄

Jeez man, put that nationalism on the side for a bit and enjoy the sports. Who cares what flag is there when the competitions are awesome.

I asked a journalist on another forum and Turri was DQ because the heel cups were not firmly attached to the shoes. Info comes from GM of the Finnish Athletics Federation.

So it's instead of now

This was a nice day to be on the grandstands with Andrew Musgrave's parents

The atmosphere in the stadium when Klaebo came into the stadium on his way to gold, oh wow
 
That was like an Austrian winning the Four Hills Tournament, times 5
 
My voice is now gone and my throat sore from all the yelling for our favorites and everything, but totally worth it
 
Gina del Rio! One of the Argentinians said "there kind of should be a fall ahead of her now so she has a chance for the final" (they're friends of her), and I swear not 5 seconds later they fell  But she had no power anymore, still super impressive. 

Brazil and Argentina have arrived at the grandstands
 

 

@brunamoura41.85 down! From Sundling that is, so maybe 25 secs or so off top 30.  Beating plenty of European countries with winter sports history.  Also beating plenty of yesterday's top 20. Second  though, so don't know how the sprint team gets selected....
 
pretty good, but not cracking the top 30.

That's absolutely the plan! Four minutes or so going all out. As she told the medic: "Maybe see you tomorrow, because I'm definitely going to give everything..."
 

Good luck tomorrow @brunamoura @heywoodu 💪💪💪

Finish is looking nice here in Trondheim, despite the relatively warm weather
 

 

Bruna is the thumbnail on HBO
 

Actually skis weren't the problem...she basically blacked out and had to be taken to the medical center (it took us quite a while to find her). She's better now, full of anger for tomorrow at least. 

Probably the most important day of Bruna's career tomorrow. The nerves here are off the charts, vamos
 

Oh yeah, and we can be recognized by a big banner with "Nunspeet" (our hometown) on it, and I'm carrying a Dutch-Brazilian flag, which I'll hold in a certain way to let Bruna know how she's doing when she is halfway
 

And our one was a Bradbury'd bronze in mixed team luge!

Congratulations on your baby @Wumo !!! All the best wishes for you and your family !!!

Interesting list.  Few things to fix though. First, it is not the 'best result' that counts, the continental or junior results only count if there is no world championship result. Likewise a grand prix junior event only counts if there is no senior result. So hypothetically a nation could drop points from these totals. Second there are a few incorrect totals: Vasiljevs should have scored 496 for the Latvian men, Switzerland Poland Slovakia and Cyprus should have 0 in ice dance, you cannot receive a score if you don't skate the long program, the same is true for Iceland and Sweden in the pairs.

With the completion of the European and Four Continents championships, we now have our first sample of what the team standings look like for the Olympics next year. Top 10 teams qualify for the Team Event.
 
Championship = Best Result from 2025 World, European, Four Continents, or Junior Championships
Grand Prix = Best Result from 2025-26 Grand Prix, Grand Prix Final, or Junior Grand Prix
