France IBU Cup globes tally is suffering a Zimbabwean inflation +400% From 1 (Chloé Chevalier Pursuit 17/18) to probably 5. Nations Cup is looking clear, Colombo has won the sprint, Jeanmonnot has already secured the super-sprint and it seems she's made what needed to be done today to conquer the Big one. It shows the density of this B team.

An open-to-public mascot competition ? I'd rather bet on a €500K McKinsey report to provide us with a piece of crap any 7 y.o child could have imagined. Business first.

The first Korean stumbled at the start and lost a fair amount of time. They had to trail all the way, coming within firing range of France just in the end but the last French skater managed to hold the Korean back. One lap more would have been enough though. As for French medals in relay that's not a first. Four between 2004 and 2008 including a win in 2006, although it was a 2000m relay with three skaters.

So no more freedom of opinion ? "Are you unconditionally against the invasion" ? "Yes of course (not at all in fact, what are you gonna do ? Torture me ?)". What about non-Russians/Belarussians possibly in favor of it too ? Are we implementing a kind of "Freedom Pass" ? "I see you've not provided any position on this matter on Instagram, please proceed or we shall consider you pro-Russian".

Kulbin is a 2005, Borgula (again 2nd) and Engelmann (again 3rd) are 2004.

Also you forgot about Sara Scattolo and obviously Sara Andersson who's got to be the favorite.

Considering Repinc's form lately I fear thr Youth ranks suit better for her.

No direct link with the Germans but Margot Boch also comes from luge and I'm quite pleasantly surprised by her start times in monobob (around 10th). And yet she's had the worst starts in the 2-woman comp ...

Let's gooooo Vain is French so

I tried it on French or international "specific" forums, never seen anybody fully agree. Sometimes they admit it's pretty unfair but say "hey it's cool and historic now so we won't remove it", most of the times I get "downvoted" and considered strange or outrageous "hey other sports are the same, pursuit is EXCITING". I keep saying its status is unique and with nothing alike but they dodge the argument.

Go anywhere else, any forum, and tell them you want the pursuit out of the Games. They will rebuff you, when they are not simply insulting Very strange to notice. But at least we get to see some people complaining about something quite obvious, imho.

Bravo. Great win in this exhibition event for Roeiseland.

Pursuit is the biggest Olympic fraud ever.

Yeah, especially Niskanen ...

I remember some here making fun of Geisenberger back in November when she said she considered not coming back to China. "Ahah she's making it look like a choice but she won't be selected altogether".

Pffff

The three Koreans were drawn with Fauconnet four years ago

Dukurs

A bit late to answer but : - Repinc has been injured (still is ?). She raced in Slovenia in December and appeared internationally (but at home) for the Junior European Championships where she has clearly seemed off the pace. Not too far back the others but not remotely close to what she have been doing last season. - Frolina is pregnant. Given her age the question is will she come back ?

Sure, I used Geng as a benchmark for international comparison since we don't have any way to evaluate how the Chinese athlete will fare against the likes of Dukurs or Tretiakov. Btw do you have links for this results ?

Interesting. He's able to win in Europe, meaning that he's a pretty good slider with great adaptability. If two guys can beat him on this track, they must be top notch. Yin Zheng is like the 4th best Chinese with very few experience abroad, but it doesn't matter in the end. He's seemingly really fast at the start, if he can carry this speed to the finish line we may have a big surprise ...
