    So 47 countries were asked about whether the Russians should be allowed back, 60% of those voted yes. A FIS member said that Norway (shocking) overruled/rejected so it was canceled.

    I expect to see something that we saw in Trondheim. The Norwegian men and Swedish women dominating.

    Fossesholm retires at age 24. Going to med school. Not the worst career move, especially when you have dealt with injury problems and lack of motivation.
