Rydzek is in great shape but her skis are also gliding better than anybody else there by a mile, catching and passing Diggins on the short downhill still in glide, which is usually where Diggins excels in this kind of format. Häggström falling at the start line rather hurt the tension in the...

Apparently he was found in his hotel room after he didn't show up to a planned skiing session with Tommaso Giacomel. The IBU's official statement mentions that he was diagnosed with myocarditis after his first breakthrough at the World Cup level in 2022 which seems to tilt the balance of...

1+0+0+0 for anybody at a good level will pretty much always be a podium shot in the Mass Start. So often the slow pace early on leads to those that miss early coming back and not paying the price for their misses due to those up front wanting to not risk later misses, especially if they can ride...

Thing was, it happened last year with Uldal too (not to the same extent). And it's similarly happening (again, not to the same extent) with Bened in the women's competition. The Norwegians have got such crazy strength in depth that they have people who have been already far too good for the IBU...

Seeing the old "ex pro cyclists cropping up in unexpected places" thread and reading back through it, I was jumpscared by this picture of Tom Boonen hanging out with The Miz: But all made sense once I saw Niki Terpstra once challenged John Cena at Wrestlemania.

There are a handful of definite flaws - choice of route into Font-Romeu on stage 3, stage 4 being so short, some of the MTFs in the middle of the race not really giving any option but functional Unipuerto (Valdelinares and Aitana stages are not Unipuerto, but will be functionally so because the...

Colby up in 5th after the first jump, this is incredible stuff from the youngster. Can he back it up in the second or is he gonna do a Zografski?

Hans Christer Holund, martyr to the cause.

If so it'd be Venta Luisa the first time, going all the way to the observatory the first time and then a huge long gradual descent rather than the Gérgal side with the route through to Velefique would be a big waste. From Almería you could do like, Enix, Santillana, Calar Alto from Gérgal; or...

And he's still demonstrating the same traits today, as evidenced by the way he's moved on from a second team by age 22 because he isn't getting his own way. He was an adult then, and regardless of how fully formed the brain is or is not, he was still old enough for people to make judgements...

In which countries is he not legally an adult at 22?

Portraying an adult as a child in order to absolve him of accountability is babying him, yes. Lots of people cheer against teams or athletes they dislike and it's just a normal part of fandom. Schadenfreude is a thing. It isn't something extraordinary or sinister - it just happens to be against...

If expecting a grown man to be cognizant that actions have consequences, and believing that he doesn't need to be protected from this realization by being babied, is being "blinded by hate", then sure, I'm "blinded by hate". I'll take that, guilty as charged.

I pointed out that Netserk wanted his GC bid to fail. That's literally in the post you're quoting. Netserk didn't wish illness or physical injury on him, just for his ego to take a dent. Stop cherry-picking just so that you can take offence on behalf of a man (not a boy) who is old enough to...

I'd expect to see a fair bit of Guatibonza in some of the flatter races, he's got plenty more racing experience than the majority of the others. Filip Novak is the other one I'd think we'll see a decent amount of, he has done a somewhat more varied set of races and was initially rumoured to the...
