Remco loses like three minutes in every mountain stage Pogacar tries in

And this is exactly why I am fully on the Ayuso-train.

There's no doubt Ayuso made the right decision leaving UAE, the question is more whether Lidl made the right decision hiring him. Anyway, I'm fully on the Ayuso train and I hope he somehow beats Pogacar in a race this year. The reaction will be an all-timer

The strength in depth is absurd. Jeanmonnot and Perrot have dominated the season and were flying in the first few races at Antholz and then dropped back for slightly disappointing individual medal hauls. Simon was given a nice light suspension, came into the world cup skiing at IBU Cup pace...

Crazy level in the 1500m, four athletes under OR pace and two more just outside it.

No it's not serious, I just meant it as shorthand for the Buzzfeed/Starbucks aficionados. I think it's a specifically American profile but from the reaction I've seen online they have also enjoyed it the most.

It looked like something out of wacky races. I think the people it appealed to most are the Harry Potter type American millennials, who do in fact seem to be the target market for many of the IOC's newer events. I agree that the Vertical sounds better than the sprint, but the Individual seems...

I have also just seen that it didn't have to be this way! There's an individual race at the World Champs that looks a lot more like actual ski mountaineering – steep, long uphills without gimmicky plastic stairs and obstacles; mogul-filled blacks; and 1500m+ of elevation gain. Now that is...

Klaebo should learn how to take skins off skis quickly, then he'd get another gold without having to do any new training. This ski mountaineering race is just run uphill for two minutes, change, and ski down a blue run. Barring the stairs you could do it in XC skis

Dandjinou giving her a run for her money. Raced in 8 qualifiers, won seven; raced in three finals and came 4th, 5th, and 5th.

One of the worst ski performances I've ever seen in a relay. All four of them skiing 1 minute behind the best, none of them bad enough to justify it at all.

Did the Italians forget to wax their skis

It's bizarre but Jeanmonnot has never won an individual gold at a major championships. She also hasn't finished below 7th in a major championships race since 2023.

He was great in the team pursuit, just kept saying how well USA were doing and how they were running away with it etc., forgetting to look at the lap times and see Italy catch up and pass them

That's how it works in luge, which makes it a good relay to watch.
