Henrik is missing his bff. 
 
Great win for Pinturault.

Gold for China! Zhang. I noticed both her and Tang being good in all the events.
 
Is this the greatest Chinese biathlon result? It's summer, but still nice...

Greatest  result of all time was the 2016 YOG Single Mixed Relay

Helloooo everybody,
Yesterday I spend the whole day in the Košice fanzone and it was something absolutely FANTASTIC ! Despite everything there being too much expensive, the atmosphere was just epic, I spend the day drinking hectoliters of beer with and fans.  Especially the finns are incredible, they invaded Košice, did anyone stay in Finland ? because it looks like the whole country population came to Slovakia, you can not find a place in the pubs or pubs beer garden, you see only Suomi jerseys everywhere 
 
and finally, the evening program and the WIN over USA !!! OMG, what a absolutely insane atmosphere it was, I lost my voice. It was just unreal performance and efforts from our guys.
 
Thank you guys ! Thank you so much for yesterdays experience.

That moment when you realize that your only wrong pick of the winner yesterday was Slovakia - USA

As far as I know, in Croatia all games will be available via livestreaming in the official IIHF youtube channel.
 
If games are not broadcasted in your country, you may follow them on the live stream.
 
 

and here is what happened yesterday, make a oppinion by yourself
 

Therese Johaug has signed a 5-year sponsorship deal with Blivakker, one of Norway’s biggest make-up shops.
 
Blivakker, who is part of Brandsdal Group AS, writes in a press release:
“We are proud that one of Norway’s biggest sports star wants to join Brandsdal Group. We see Therese Johaug as a good model to promote our products for Blivakker. We will soon launch a new product line of lipsticks at Blivakker and we hope that Johaug’s name will add an extra commercial awareness to our new product line – says CMO of Brandsdal Group AS, Nina Gjorum.”

I have a solution that will release many athletes/quotas. Get rid of football!  That are 504 athlete quotas. 
Olympics should be a stage where we see the best athletes in every sport. Do any expect to see Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, etc..  at the Olympics in Tokyo? 
If football doesn't begin to take it's role as an olympic sport seriously, I would mean that many other sports deserve a chance at the Olympics instead of football. 
 
p.s I'm a massive football fan. The sport I watch the most is, with no doubt, football. Both club and international matches. I love the sport and I find it to be a disgrace to watch Olympic football compared to the World Cup, especially for the best teams. The Olympics should at least have the same level or status as the World Cup.

she always said that next year's World Champs at her hometown village (Anterselva/Antholz) would mark the end of her career...
 
but of course all the Italian sport officials are already working to prevent that...
 
I secretely hope she's gonna keep racing until Beijing 2022, so to give time to our most promising youngsters (Lardschneider, Carrara, Comola just name some of them) to develop their skills with the right timing, without having to rush them in the World Cup team before they're actually ready...

To the Summer Olympic Sports sections!

To the Summer Olympic Sports sections!

This race needs a good old fashioned shooting meltdown from Johannes.
 
Finish the season in style, lad!

Annoying how Makarainen is just an unimportant blimp in the second part of the season.

Hellooooo super massively hyped World Cup title fight

Simon Fourcade is ending his career

Well... 4th is still amazing, congrats to him!
