Sivert Guttorm Bakken  R.I.P.

Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.

Biathlon
 
Giacomel seconda vittoria stagionale e terzo podio, due terzi posti per Wierer.
Bottino stagionale a 9 podi sommando anche le due vittorie (Wierer e Vittozzi) e i due podi in staffetta (donne e mista)
 
Sci Alpino
Torna alla vittoria Goggia, dopo due terzi posti 

Le piste di SBX in italia si contano sulle dita di un napoletano dopo capodanno, direi che abbiamo fatto un miracolo. Comunque ci sono diversi talentini giovani in rampa di lancio

In Italia, oltre Cervina, Livigno e poco altro, c'è il Crosspark di Colere che è ottimo. In Piemonte c'è quella di Bardonecchia, che è terribile

con i se e con i ma non si fa nulla
 
la pista avrebbe dovuto essere pronta prima e, soprattutto, dovrebbe avere caratteristiche tecniche diverse, ma abbiamo questa che è venuta pronta adesso ed è inutile continuare a lamentarsi, bisogna solo lavorare e sfruttare il tempo che rimane, che è abbastanza per garantirsi una conoscenza della pista superiore alla concorrenza 
 
tutto il resto, è solo inutile vittimismo
 
per il resto, mi pare di parlare bulgaro 😤
 
noi non siamo la Lettonia, che la pista ce l'ha da decenni e in pratica vive di 3 sport, seguiti e praticati da tanti bambini
 
noi abbiamo 4 gatti che fanno gli sport invernali (sci alpino a parte), non possiamo decidere di lasciare niente e nessuno per strada
 
oltretutto con i miseri finanziamenti nostrani non ti garantisci nulla, ci paghi al massimo le trasferte stagionali
 
non abbiamo le decine e decine di milioni di € dei tedeschi nè le loro case automobilistiche che sostengono e fanno ricerca anche per questi sport
 
senza quello (ed è evidente che qui non ci sarà mai, visto che le infrastrutture e il knowhow della ferrari fanno più danni che altro), qualunque discorso è inutile, saremo sempre tecnologicamente un passo indietro
 
e per favore, non facciamo paragoni insensati con la Russia, i regimi dittatoriali e paesi inclini al doping sistematico ai massimi livelli
 
la nostra soddisfazione (impagabile) è vedere spuntare qua e là un Ghiotto, un Giacomel, un Deromedis...campioni che sono come un fiore sbucato nel deserto, stelle che illuminano sport che sono conosciuti a malapena dai parenti stretti degli atleti (e 4 sfigati, malati di sport come noi...quando va bene)

First individual victory ever for Kirkeeide!

Passler having the greatest day of her life 15/15 

you don't even have idea how it works
 
last week he was the best of the field and now he's in bad shape?
 
on Friday he was 24th despite 4 (4!!!!!) missed shots and Yesterday he suddenly went out of shape?
 
be serious!
 
he either just had bad skis or he got sick, like many other athletes (see Vittozzi)
 
the snow in LGB is usually shit, results are always heavily influenced by that and Italy is one of the teams that usually struggle a lot in that place
 
nothing new and nothing to be worried about

Festival of Music

 
For this year’s Festival of Music I thought I would change it up a bit. Since we are approaching the festive holiday season, I want you all to post some festive songs from your country. If you don’t celebrate Christmas then perhaps some other song that has a special place in your heart during an important celebration.
 
 
I’m going to start with a Christmas song from Ireland’s TISC Annual 2023 representatives Picture This.

 
 
Picture This - This Christmas
 

Important information on team Aerials.
 
There is no AIN`s team at the start list of the world cup despite of the fact that belorussians have enough athletes to have a team.

Unfortunately, I am very busy with my university exams, which end on 18 December. Before that date, I will not be able to vote, I'm afraid it will be a withdrawal for me

Giacomel is getting weaker and weaker, and his running is poor. Nothing will come of it. Without Boe, he was supposed to be the fastest skier, but he's losing out to the Norwegians and Swedes. The rest of the squad, apart from Hofer, is essentially colapse.

I have scheduled the voting order draw for later today. I will be using a random generator to auto-generate the results. If anyone is interested, I have posted a ticket of the scheduled draw. There is no result available yet but will appear once the draw has passed the scheduled time.
