FIS SNOWBOARDING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Men's Parallel Slalom Non-Olympic Event Final Results PROMMEGGER Andreas -Big Final KARL Benjamin -Big Final SOBOLEV Andrey -Small Final ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Women's Parallel Slalom Non-Olympic Event Final Results ULBING Daniela -Big Final LEDECKA Ester -Big Final ZAVARZINA Alena -Small Final Ulbing and Prommegger celebrate Austrian double victory in PSL Austria's very own Daniela Ulbing and Andreas Prommegger have done their home country proud winning the parallel slalom event of the Sierra Nevada 2017 FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships today. Ulbing won the Gold ahead of defending champion Ester Ledecka (CZE) and Alena Zavarzina (RUS) while Benjamin Karl (AUT) and Andrey Sobolev (RUS) rounded out the men's podium as respective second and third. After yesterday's parallel giant slalom race had to be cancelled and re-scheduled to tomorrow due to a heavy snowstorm with wind speeds over 100 km/h, this afternoon's PSL took place under a blue bird sky again and at warm temperatures which had been dominating the first week of the 12th FIS Snowboard World Championships until the weather had changed rapidly last Monday. In the women's event, this season's shooting star Ulbing put all things together to compete in the race of her life today which was actually the first ever for her at world championships. Coming out as fastest qualifier and therefore having the advantage of choosing the side of the parallel flagged course, the 19-year-old from Carinthia dominated her rivals in the knock-out rounds. After beating Carolin Langenhorst (GER) and Olympic champion Patrizia Kummer (SUI) she also knocked out Alena Zavarzina (RUS) before dethroning defending champion Ester Ledecka (CZE). “I never ever would have thought of walking home with the title, but the more I'm happy now. Of course it was an advantage being able to always chose the same course, but I don't think I have realised it yet what just happened,” stated Ulbing, who has just two World Cup seasons under her belt. Her rival in the finals has already had some more starts and success but added just another chapter to the history books. Actually, Ledecka became the first athlete ever to compete at FIS Ski World Championships (St. Moritz) as well as FIS Snowboard World Championships in the same year, a fact she commented with a beaming smile: “It's great, isn't it? It was a good race, I really enjoyed every run. I'm happy about the way I was competing. It was a great day.” The women's podium was rounded out by Alena Zavarzina who crossed the finish line ahead of Germany's Cheyenne Loch in the small final. While the women's event was clinched by a World Championships novice, the men's event finally saw Andreas Prommegger triumphing. Finally, as it took the father of two 18 (!) years and 17 world championships starts since 1999 to finally walk home with a medal. “I can't put it into words. I knew I could earn a medal as I currently am in a very good shape. I knew it had to happen as I have been fighting so many times for a podium at major events and never have been rewarded for it,” stated Prommegger while waiting for the official award ceremony. Three times, he had come close at worlds as fourth, now, he finally got redemption for all the unlucky losses in the past years beating room mate and long-time friend Benjamin Karl, who has medalled in every major event he has been competing in since 2009, in the final heat of the day to crown himself world champion. “I tried to not put myself under pressure, telling myself that if I have to retire without a medal at Olympics or worlds, I would still be proud of what I have achieved in the past years. But now, I will go home as world champion. It's unreal.” Especially as he took the title against Karl who had defeated him several times on the big stages. But not this time as Prommegger kept the momentum from back-to-back World Cup wins: “We push each other every year, in every race and training, which is a dream. And finally having the margin on my side, it's unbelievable.” Karl, however, was also surprised how the story did unfold today. Not having had the best PSL results in the past World Cup events, the four-time world champion has been working on his set-up over the course of the season a lot, just to change everything in Sierra Nevada again: “If you would have asked me prior to the race, I would have said: 'Oh, I have no chance today'. I just have changed my whole set-up prior to the race, board, plate. I never would have thought of this in the PSL race.” But if the father of one is known for one thing than for his mental strength to be right there when he has to be, especially when it's time to battle for Gold, Silver and Bronze: “I have now medalled at every major event I have been competing in. That's amazing, and I guess this is something not many athletes have achieved so far.” In the battle for third, Sobolev delivered one of the strongest comebacks ever been witnessed on a parallel slalom course to heading Nevin Galmarini off right before the finish line after almost going down at the beginning of the steep part of the course. The Sierra Nevada 2017 Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships continue tomorrow with the PGS event as qualifiers are set to take place at 9 AM CET while the finals will kick off at 1 PM CET.

Advantage Frenzel in Trondheim Eric Frenzel has been able to take valuable World Cup points with a victory in Trondheim today and took the yellow bib from Johannes Rydzek. Finishing 19.2 seconds earlier, he overtook and distanced his rival to 14 points in the overall World Cup standings. Fabian Rießle completed another all-German podium on the third rank, +22.2 seconds behind Frenzel. As Trondheim was experiencing heavy wind and snow showers, the ski jumping round had to be cancelled and yesterday’s PCR used. A beautiful jump of 138 metres had catapulted Austrian Mario Seidl to the top of the result list. With 136.2 points, Seidl had a head start of 16 seconds on Manuel Faißt from Germany. Faißt had landed at 135.5 metres. The third rank and momentary advantage in the fight for the overall 2016/17 went to Eric Frenzel, who had a good jump of 132 metres in challenging conditions. Rival Johannes Rydzek had even more challenging conditions and ranked eleventh with 121.5 metres. This meant a time disadvantage of one minute and 23 seconds on the leader. Frenchman Maxime Laheurte and Japanese Akito Watabe impressed with good performances and claimed positions four and five. They started their races at +0:58 and +1:01 respectively. Mario Seidl skied a lonely first lap but got company from Eric Frenzel and Manuel Faißt on the second of five laps. Behind the leading trio, a pursuing group formed with local hero Magnus Moan, Akito Watabe, Johannes Rydzek and Fabian Rießle. During the race, the winter returned full swing to Trondheim and the conditions were not easy with lots of wind, snow and a soft track. On the fourth lap, it got harder and harder for Magnus Moan as a tall and heavier athlete to follow the other three pursuers. In front, Eric Frenzel was able to shake teammate Faißt and Mario Seidl and for these two there was also no holding off Johannes Rydzek, Fabian Rießle and Akito Watabe. In the end, Rydzek mobilised all powere reserves but was not able to keep Eric Frenzel from winning and effectively taking the yellow bib from him. However, he minimised the damage by taking the second position. Fabian Rießle beat Akito Watabe in a finish line sprint. Mario Seidl and Manuel Faißt finished fifth and sixth. Local hero Magnus Moan claimed the final seventh rank but was still allowed to visit the Crown Prince of Norway together with Eric Frenzel and all overall winners of the FIS Youth Cup. Ilkka Herola, Francois Braud and Bernhard Gruber completed the Top Ten. Full Results Here

Great prediction! We won against Romania 6-5 tonight in Košice and we are now assured to finish second

Too strong wind - No competition in Lillehammer The second individual competition of the RAW AIR Tournament in Lillehammer could not take place on Tuesday evening due ot the strong wind. In the afternoon the trial round had already been canceled, but later the wind speed decreased and so the competition was started half an hour later than originally planned. But after 26 of the 50 athletes and various delays due to the weather conditions the jury had to decide to cancel the event on the Lysgaardsbakken. "The round already had a bumpy start and some interruptions were necessary in order to allow the 25 athletes to start. We were hoping that the conditions will get calmer during the course of the day, but this didn't happen due to a strong upper air flow which made it impossible to continue with the competition. The gusts were uncontrollable", FIS Race Director Walter Hofer explained the decision. If and when the competition will be rescheduled during this RAW AIR has not been decided yet. "We will now discuss this with the organizers. For example, we might have the change to carry out the competition on one of the training days. But we are quite relaxed regarding this matter", said Walter Hofer. The athletes now move on to Trondheim, where the official training and the qualification are scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

The Juniors World Championships finished today. All Results can be found Here Austria and Switzerland were as expected the most succesfull countries both with 3 golds, In total 11 nations won medals, not many surprise to note, but definitely worth to mention is Belgiums bronze in Team event

Our Ice Dance pair Lucie Myslivečková/Lukáš Csolley will miss the world championships because of Lucie´s injury. The season is over for them. they will have now to recover as soon as possible and start to prepare themselves for the final olympic qualification in September. The problem is that only 4 quotas for 4 different non-already qualified countries will be contested

lol when I read about denying foreign ministers the entry I always remember to this. In Slovakia few years ago we even improved this topic to a higher level refusing the entry to a president http://en.people.cn/90001/90777/90853/6736412.html

FIS SNOWBOARDING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Men's Team Snowboard Cross Non-Olympic Event Final Results United States KEARNEY Hagen BAUMGARTNER Nick -Big Final Spain EGUIBAR Lucas HERNANDEZ Regino -Big Final Canada HILL Kevin ROBANSKE Christopher -Big Final ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Women's Team Snowboard Cross Non-Olympic Event Final Results France MOENNE LOCCOZ Nelly TRESPEUCH Chloe -Big Final France PETIT Manon BANKES Charlotte -Big Final United States JACOBELLIS Lindsey GULINI Faye -Big Final France and USA take first ever Team SBX Gold History was written in Spain today when French riders Nelly Moenne Loccoz and Chloe Trespeuch on the ladies' side and US men Hagen Kearney and Nick Baumgartner were crowned the first ever Team SBX World Champions at the Sierra Nevada 2017 FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships. Unlike the days before, which had been blessed with bluebird sky and warm spring temperatures, Mother Nature had a different script in mind for Monday's historical race as an overnight weather change presented riders with colder temperatures and increasing snow fall over the course of the day. As a result, the course was a different beast than it had been the previous day, with Sunday's soft slush gone and a much firmer course requiring a new set of tactics, as gold medal winner Kearney explained. “I knew it was going to be tough. Waking up this morning, we didn't think this race was gonna happen. But I knew I could beat everyone in the start, and I knew wind would be a factor and that there would be a lot of drafting as you saw pretty much in every heat. So, I was just able to put down my best run in the finals. And when that happens...” … he walks away with the Gold. In fact, the men's big final ended up being the best advertising for the team event that organisers could have dreamt of, with both sets of four riders locked in a tight battle from top to bottom on a course which had produced very big gaps in Friday's time trials. Kearney, known for his superb starts, took off like a rocket, gaining the hole shot and fighting off his rivals, with each rider battling hard for every metre in the hope to gain some advantage for their teammate waiting atop of the course for the gate to drop. When Kearney crossed the finish line first, things went right the way as Baumgartner had predicted in a quote he had stated following yesterday's snowboard cross medal event: “Hagen’s going to kick everyone’s butt coming out of the start and I’m going to be the freight train following up. Whoo whoooo!” In the end, the big man from Iron River, MI, stuck to his own script, and came in first to celebrate his career's first world championships title. “This feels awesome, and it's just cool as we waited until the finals of the team event to both have our best runs on this course. So, if those other guys wanted to take the win, it was gonna have to be us making a mistake. Unfortunately for them we didn't do that today.” Baumgartner also admitted that it was the right redemption for missing his third world championships podium after coming in fourth yesterday. “You always wanna be on the podium, but yesterday those three guys, 1,2,3, they were the best. But today, I always told Hagen 'As soon as we team up together, we will win.' And this is our first time teaming together, and we won!” However, the pure joy about the victory didn't hide the fact that it took a photo finish decision to give USA the title, after yesterday's silver medallist Lucas Eguibar (ESP) had a heroic run to move from fourth to second and very nearly past Baumgartner at the line. After he had passed Markus Schairer (AUT) and Chris Robanske (CAN) he prepared for a final attack on the race leader from the US but made a mistake in the last section. “That's where I lost the Gold,” he said. “I'm very happy to be on the podium again, but it's a little bit bittersweet as I almost caught Nick.” Coming in second, the local hero earned his second silver medal in 24 hours – this time alongside teammate Regino Hernandez. Canada's Kevin Hill and Chris Robanske rounded out the podium in third, with Austrian duo Alessandro Haemmerle and Markus Schairer forced to settle for fourth. Over in the women's event, things weren't as tight and enthralling as the men's showdown as the title was actually decided in the first run of the final heat when the girls were halfway through the track. Five-time world champion Lindsey Jacobellis was getting a draft on leading Nelly Moenne Loccoz going over the jump which enters turn four when the US athlete changed her direction last second to the left to avoid landing on the tail of the French woman in front of her whilst also aiming for the inside line. But as Raffaella Brutto came from the right Jacobellis couldn't avoid a collision with the Italian just before the landing. With both ladies crashing out the road was paved for a French double victory, with Moenne Loccoz and Chloe Trespeuch taking home the gold, and Manon Petit and teammate Charlotte Bankes claiming silver. “It feels great to be the world champion, especially together with Chloe as we are really good friends. That makes it so much easier to snowboard together," said Moenne Loccoz, "We put our strengths together today: I was going for the quick start and she was supposed to bring it home. And that's what we did." Although team ITA1 came in ahead of USA1, it was Lindsey Jacobellis and Faye Gulini earning the Bronze after Raffaella Brutto and Michela Moioli got disqualified as Brutto didn't pass one gate correctly following her spill with Jacobellis.

Overtime world record Playoff game in Norway ends after 11 periods WORLD RECORD! 8 overtime periods, 11 periods, 217:14 game time, 8 1/2 hours between the first puck drop and the game-winner - a Norwegian playoff game last night between Storhamar Hockey and the Sparta Warriors. Sarpsborg beat the previous world record from 1936. A playoff quarter-final game of the top Norwegian men’s league broke the overtime record set in the NHL in 1936. The Storhamar Dragons needed 11 periods, eight overtime periods, to beat Sparta Sarpsborg 2-1. The game time was 217:14 – a new world record breaking the old one that took 176:30. The score line on the website of the Storhamar Dragons looks like this: Storhamar – Sparta Sarpsborg 2-1 8OT (0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 1-0) Erik de la Rose, the elder brother of Swedish NHLer Jacob de la Rose, opened the scoring for the home team in the middle frame. When Henrik Knold tied it up for the visiting team 2:20 into the third period, the 5,526 fans in Hamar didn’t know yet how much hockey they’d get for their money. Those who stayed until the very end basically got three-and-a-half hockey games for the price of one. The teams went scoreless in seven overtime periods. At 17:14 of the eight overtime period eventually Joakim Jensen beat Sarpsborg goalie Samuel Ward with a shot from the right face-off circle for the home team’s game-winner and ended a game for the record books. The Storhamar players left the bench and celebrated their victory in the eternal battle like they had won the championship. Their slogan “Vi gir oss aldri” (We never give up) became true, literally. Here’s the shot-on-goal recap: 95-93 (9-2, 7-8, 8-10, 8-6, 10-14, 10-8, 4-7, 12-11, 7-11, 11-9, 7-7) The game ended after 217:14 played. Including stoppage and intermissions the game took eight-and-a-half hours. It started on Sunday, 12 March at 18:00 in the evening and ended late night at 2:30. The Sparta Sarpsborg players yet had to get home buy bus and arrived at 6:15 in the morning. Many of the players are semi-pro and would have a day job or school today. “I cannot imagine they are going there,” Sparta Sarpsborg manager Daniel Bjornberg told vg.no. Jensen was happy to score the game-winner and end the world-record game. “It was good. It was in any case the longest [game] I’ve ever had. It’s close to 3am. It will be good to get home and lie down,” the 29-year-old forward told TV2. “I had cramps in both thighs since the fifth period but I reckon that I’m not the only one who is tired. There was a lot of pizza and pasta. We ate one to three meals during the game.” There won’t be too much time to relax though. Thanks to the win Storhamar leads the best-of-seven quarter-final series 3-2 but it continues already tomorrow in Sarpsborg.
