    Yes obviously the issue is that’s it not generating any positive cash flow. And if they liked they could have taken money from the ski jumping side.

    Oberstdorf withdrew their WC application for next season and are replaced by Pontresina. Hopefully it means they will use some of the longer loops in the Engadin valley. But not good for the sport that Germany cannot afford a World Cup. There are also reports of downsizing in the finnish NSA...

    UCI MTB World Cup (All forms!)

    During the XCC I had the feeling Neff tried to help Richards by blocking Keller and Rissveds. It looked really strange atleast and she blowed up in the last lap. I haven’t noticed team tactics in MTB before and was just wondering. Does team tactics usually exist and is it accepted like in Road...

    Goms decided against organizing a Tour de Ski stage. FIS is working on an Italian replacement venue so it will be an all Italian Giro di Ski next year.

    The source document is a draft from last year. FIS also tends to do a lot of late adjustments so I while this paint the broader picture I wouldn’t count on any of the details. I think next years program will be announced in May or June.

    Yes, that lane was faster so that’s why Svahn attacked so early. Svahn drifted out her ski there when she was inches before which effectively forced Sundling to change the lane.

    It was a great figth between Sundling and Svahn today in the national championship. Here is the final part of it (hoppfully this available without VPN)...

    Matinalo always pace herself well, wonder if it’s related to her running background.

    I think Skistad is just taking the swedish-norwegian banter too serious.

    Svahn and Karlsson are like best friends, together with Dahlqvist, Ilar and to some extent Lundgren they form a team within the swedish team. Then you have another group with Ribom, Sundling and Andersson. I know FIS warned them of trying something against Diggins during Tour de Ski and Riboms...

    I think it was yellow cause it was Diggins. I remember reading somewhere that FIS after what happend in Lahti last year (and to some extent Final Climb 3 years ago) informed Swedish team management it would be consequences if they tried to sabotage Diggins. This was already months ago. Looking...

    Swedish national TV just released a great documentary about him. Hopefully they or someone else will add English subtitles so non-Scandinavians can watch it. He has been involved in a lot of TV-shows over the year so most (especially the young) recognize him as a TV-host instead of a skiing...

    The long distance forces Frida to take longer strides which is way more effective. She seldom cracks in the long distance races.

    Today the organizer in Planica extended the technical zone and added another. Yesterday they had planned two zones as well but the icy made it infeasible according to the Swedish TV announcer.
