    That was some game between Seahawks and Rams. Game of the year, IMO. Seahawks clinch playoff berth. If they win their last two games, they clinch home field advantage. Definitely not over yet, because the Niners are playing as good as they have all season, and the Rams are not out of it...

    Yes, the entire Sorin group trained in Livigno. I think another group may have also been there. So yes, they have had time on European snow, but snow in October and early November is going to be much different to the snow in mid December, usually. Having said all of that, I do think...

    I did not know about Rosie’s relationship struggle. I knew she was dating Kornfield. I don’t get into that stuff, but yeah, that is a big deal, especially if one is more sensitive. Hopefully she can get that sorted out and move on. Lucy Anderson (from Minnesota) may have to make a...

    Brennan has steadily declined the last two seasons. She’s had some good results, but it’s obvious that she is declining. This is her last season. Once she and Diggins retire, Kern will be the US’s main hope, and only in sprints, and she can be very up and down. I am afraid the US medal...

    Stenshagen is such a weird character for me. He had strong junior results, then didn’t have the greatest first senior year, then popped up in Planica at the January 2018 world cups, the last before the Olympics, then had good U23 results a week or two later, then another solid season in 2019...

    Yes, I am aware of that, just wanted to say that the the two racing in Europe are not the best that the Russians have to offer. I am curious to know how many actually submitted requests, and how many more will race on the WC circuit this season. Considering how things have moved forward...

    Laukli out, McCabe with health issues, Palmer-Ledger not racing yet this season, Kramer struggling, Smith still doing two sports, and the domestic scene looking very weak…not a good sign for US skiing post 2026…

    Anyone expecting top results from the two Russians was fooling themselves. So many factors in play here, but first, little to no time in adapting to Central European snow conditions and no use of flouro, only one wax tech, first international senior start for both of them, no international...

    It also helps that his main competition hasn't been on the circuit for 4 seasons.

    Without his top competition, and vast majority being sprints. Congrats.

    LOL. Look at Linn Svahn backpedaling.

    He is the only one that will likely be allowed to go. If he is allowed to go. I was just assuming he wouldn’t go. They will likely allow random skiers. I hope I am wrong. In 2018 they didn’t allow anyone that raced in Sochi, and the Russians still won more medals in Korea. Hopefully it...

    Probably a hodge podge of ‘neutrals’ that have little to no shot of winning medals.
