Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I keep the first post of this thread up to date with the next race - though it's not always obvious - I have some ideas on how to improve on our thread for next season + olympics

The to go races are as follows:

@extremerob, thanks. I hadn't twigged you did all that. Cheers for keeping it all up to date.

Perfect timing, I think that all takes me to the end of my extended Eurosport subscription.

As I got to the DH late this morning (meant to turn over but got too involved in the cricket and forgot) when they had already stopped it for fog, I went on to watch the WC Mens Cross Country 4x10km team relay. Quite an exciting race with Russia (not allowed to call them that in the event, so "RSF" or some such nonsense) lost a close fight (not literally which is a nice change where a certain Russian skier is concerned) to Norway. Russia had nearly a minute's lead over Norway after the first leg but this was quickly pulled back in the later legs. Apparently it was hard conditions for CC ski prep with lots of fresh snow and a "big" temperature difference from the top to bottom of the course, something about hard to get the right wax for the temp and I guess the tracks filled with soft fluffy stuff.

A WC Biathlon Mens relay on Eurosport now, no rest for the wicked.

Just watching on Eurosport :: Having never been to the area, there seems to be a lot of Brown on that South facing side - is that normal ??

Even so, that is the last snow I've seen on that side in march. I'd normally have been there last week and a check of the weather gave very warm conditions.

Charlie Guest came 23rd in the Jasna slalom today! Nice to have a female Brit qualifying for the second run but a pity it wasn't live on Eurosport TV.

Thanks. Judging by yesterday's performance, a good decision by Guest, she showed good control and balance, skied the course very well.

@ster, just had a look at the final results - Matthieu Bailet must have had a cracker of a run from Bib 50 to position 10 - I wonder if that is one of the highest ever jumps in a race? Considering as well the weather didn't dramatically improve as well makes it all that more impressive!


Great to see this guy make the podium today - hopefully it is the start of more to come.

Will be an interesting fight as we go into the finals for the Overall, GS and SG for the men

@holidayloverxx, a win is a win, but Martin’s win was weather influenced and he hasn’t been able to replicate anything close since.

@holidayloverxx, someone had posted when I originally made the statement about Bailet’s jump and if memory serves right it was 61 to 1 as the highest jump.

It was good to see someone who showed potential earlier this season to improve and make the podium today.

@davidthornton, next year will be even more fun with the Beijing Olympics - though really starting to question if the stance will change on boycotting given everything happening to the Uighur's.

On a more positive note Milano Cortina 2026 are holding a public vote for their new logo:

@extremerob, Yes, political issues with the Chinese govt loom. Uighurs as you say, but also the HK situation could become dire, and then there is the aftermath of the pandemic and calling the Chinese govt to account for their cover up of the initial outbreak and subsequent obduracy and blatant obstruction to the WHO investigation team.
Sport and politics an enduring issue.

British Eurosport can be so irritating! Says the programme is scheduled to run to 1.30pm then at 1.20 or so cuts away to cycling or something - just a short while before the GB competitor - amid some waffle about the 'app', whatever that is! Very Happy
