    Pernsteiner no longer has the perfect body for a climber, but perhaps Lemmen or Niklas Larsen have brothers we haven't heard about yet. They might also be able to convince a Winter Olympic participant to switch sports when the games are over.

    It took me years to master Danish, while this guy could do it in no time without even trying.

    Cortina d'Ampezzo-Milan Winter Olympics

    Gold for Italy in the women's luge doubles, or as Ingrid Tandrevold describes it: something where one of them is in the front and the other one is in the back and both of them are crazy.

    I find it a little crazy that Bendika would have had a chance of winning today if she had hit 19/20, provided she hadn't skied/shot slower knowing she was fighting for a medal.

    Not all men are three time Olympic champions, but Von Allmen is.

    Hristova's medal is quite the story, but you also have to feel for Voigt finishing 4th for the second Olympics in a row (Preuß did it in 2018, Wilhelm in 2010 and Henkel in 2006, so question is which German will achieve it in 2030).

    Simon's about to steal the (MasterCard) gold from her teammates and everyone else, unless Preuß has another clean shooting and a very fast final lap left in her.

    4th Muscat Classic (6 February) - 15th Tour of Oman (7-11 February)

    Well it isn't the most often discussed ASO/RCS race combo, but since Nibali is the only one to have ever pulled it off it obviously hold the most value of them all.

    He's flying too early for that. He'll take care of the spring, and then Fortunato will be dropping a kometa in May.

    Astana points farming. Adamietz didn't have it.

    I was going to make a joke about him having a perfect record against Slovenia, but it was sadly Slovakia he beat in that one match he had in charge for England. Anyway, they should sign McClaren instead. He already speaks Dutch fluently.

    I've heard that God is a woman, but Mads P.? I'm not so sure about that one.

    Cortina d'Ampezzo-Milan Winter Olympics

    One surprise medalist will always be great, but Lægreid also deserves a bit of good fortune after a tough season as the defending World Cup champion. He still has a chance of winning the mass start on his 29th birthday.
