This week, we're talking to Olympic hopeful Kirsten Kasper. Kirsten took up triathlon after swimming in high school (and winning a state championship) and running at Georgetown. She was recruited as part of the college recruitment program, took 4th in the U23 World Championships in her first elite race, and was 4th overall in the World Triathlon standings in 2017 and 2018. Then she got injured. Then, she crashed at the Tokyo Olympic qualifying test event—but finished the race before going to get 15 stitches in her hip. Since then, she's been building back up and was 3rd at a World Cup two weeks ago. She tells us what it's like trying to make one of the most competitive teams in triathlon (the U.S. women's squad), how she and her finance manage both competing for different countries, and the tricks to juggling a constant travel schedule. Plus, she gives us an inside look at the World Triathlon Championship Series race in Leeds this weekend. What's on the line at Leeds? Olympic spots! Laura Siddall helps us break down the race, how the British men are fighting it out, what to expect from Lucy Charles-Barclay's debut, and the drama with the last American women's spot and three women vying for it.

Anton Cooper is a fixture of the World Cup cross country scene. He won the U23 World Championships in 2015 and the 2014 Commonwealth Games, but perhaps his best known finish came in 2018, when he battled World Champion Nino Schurter for the top step of the podium in a sprint finish at Nove Mesto. In this interview, he talks about all the things that went right that day, and what he would have done differently to snag that final victory. He talks about why the pro field might be changing in the coming years, and what to expect from the other riders. He also discusses his love for bike packing adventures that take him far into the wildest parts of New Zealand and sometimes involve rock climbing and helicopter rescues. His adventures with his dad have led to some harrowing stories of survival in the wilderness and few near death experiences. In contrast, he talks about the way World Cup courses have changed over the past few years to accommodate spectators and media, and what he hopes to see in the future.

Nino Schurter is arguably the greatest mountain biker of all time. He’s raised the bar on what it takes to win.A brief glimpse of his resume is extraordinary:Three Olympic medals with Gold in Rio, Silver in London, and Bronze in Beijing. He’s an 8 x World Champion. A 7 x World Cup Series Champion. He’s won 32 World Cups, plus Junior World Championships, 2 x U23 World Championships, 5 x Team relay World Champion and an unheard-of an undefeated perfect season in 2017. And when he’s not winning, he’s on the podium. His passion for what he does is visible in his training, racing and his everyday life. He’s an incredibly well-rounded champion—With tremendous Desire, Discipline, and Dedication combined with a real love for what he does, you can see the fun he has on a bike… and all of this makes him one of the most relatable champions in the world.He’s living his life with absolute intent and optimizing everything he can to get the most out of himself.One of the world's all-time greatest athletes! 

Damien Howson of Mitchelton-Scott joins the Tacx Turbo Talks to talk about the Australian summer of cycling and his upcoming 2020 season. He talks about kicking off the season Down Under with Nationals and Race Torquay (0:50), discusses scenarios for the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race (3:55), and looks ahead to the Jayco Herald Sun Tour being a former winner of the race (5:26). Damien then shares his racing calendar for the first part of the 2020 season (8:08), how he sees his role develop on the team (9:03), and why he turned away a bit from the time trial bike after winning the U23 World Championships in 2013 in that discipline (10:43). To wrap things up he answers the Tacx Turbo Talks fan question of the week (14:12).

Monday, the worst day of the week if you’re a college wrestling fan. I believe each year, there are less than 10 total dual meets across all divisions on Mondays. In a sense, wrestling Mondays give you a case of the Mondays, and I do believe you’d get your ass kicked for saying something like that. Pack up your red staplers and burn down the building, this is Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s wrestling scores and more from around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. And while I’m getting you reacquainted with the show or if I’m introducing you do it, I’ll typically do these on days where there’s at least 10 duals around the country. One of the podcast newsletters I subscribe to, James Cridland’s Podnews, does a weekday show and they’re about two minutes long. I did Shots long before that show launched, but in days where there isn’t scores, might as well tell you what’s in the newsletter so I can entice you to sign up for it – it’s free – and pitch a plug for this network, since I’d rather strip out the pre-roll ads here if I can get enough support for the program. That’s a hint. And no, the regular Short Time hasn’t gone away, but this was the format the show started with and my enterprise features will be sprinkled in a few times a month. That feed still exists, a Shots-only feed exists, and if you’re a glutton for punishment, the main Mat Talk feed exists and that literally feeds you with in excess of 30 shows a month. So here’s the items you’ll be reading about. From the DWN:   Shannon Scovel from NCAA.com breaks down what we learned from the U23 World Championships and how it will impact this year’s college wrestling season. Shannon’s been writing some solid stuff for NCAA.com the last two years. She was a swimmer at American U. during her college years and is worth reading. In recruiting news from IAwrestle, Colorado state champion Cam Lucero has committed to Iowa. The junior at Pagosa Springs was a state champion at 145 pounds last season. West Virginia will have an unofficial girls state wrestling tournament in February at Parkersburg High School to gauge interest in girls wrestling. The full story via Jessica Wilt at The Journal. Speaking of Parkersburg, congrats to Kyle Bratke and his wife Olivia on the arrival of their first born, Hayden. I’ll send you a Diaper Genie. com profiles several of the state’s native wrestling sons on the roster at North Dakota State University. The Centre Daily Times in State College and Lauren Muthler tells wrestling fans what they should expect from Penn State’s 2019-20 college wrestling season. Baldwin Wallace’s Stanley Bleich was the Ohio Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week after he won the Ithaca Invitational and was named the tournament’s OW in the process. Paul Santomarco of Lycoming had three falls at the Lycoming Invitational and was named the Middle Atlantic Conference Wrestler of the Week. Not trying to make fun of the young man, but I couldn’t help but think about Three Amigos and the small village of Santo Poco. Just don’t shoot the invisible swordsman. Joining Santomarco with MAC honors was Chase Smith of the first-year program at Alvernia. He too was 3-0 with three falls at the Lycoming Invitational at 174 pounds. Wisconsin native Tres Leon from the University of the Cumberlands was the Mid-South Conference Wrestler of the Week. The All-American went 5-0 and pinned Bluefield’s Creed Lumpp in the finals at 157 pounds. Nolan Saxton of Reinhardt was the Appalachian Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week after he defeated Division II’s fourth-ranked Kevin Almond of Emmanuel last week. In what used to be the Iowa Conference, Nebraska Wesleyan’s Eron Haynes was the American Rivers Conference Wrestler of the Week after winning the Yellowjacket Open down in Rochester, Minnesota. He was the school’s first All-American when he placed last year in Roanoke. They’re coached by Brandon Bradley, a past Virginia state runner-up from Henrico. Yup, Virginia references, they’re everywhere. Finally, wrestling fan Ted Carreras writes a blog called Hand Raised. He does weekly columns with his thoughts on wrestling. These are reminiscent of things I’ve written for InterMat, Wrestling 411, TheMat and basically any other wrestling job I’ve had the last 20 years. Ted, this is good stuff, so I’m including it in today’s newsletter and Shots.   On The Network: Episode 9 of my groundbreaking, earth-shattering, monumental, award-nominated #ROCKedUp podcast chronicling the foundation and formation of the new wrestling program at Arkansas-Little Rock has dropped. This episode talks with head coach Neil Erisman and U. of the Ozarks head coach LeRoy Gardner about scheduling in year one and how the two schools came together to schedule Little Rock’s first home dual on November 24. All those things I said in the beginning are true. It’s probably the reason I’m spitting out less formulated interview shows and taking a more creative look into the storytelling aspect of wrestling. Seriously. In the Game of Throws fantasy football league, here are the SAFE FOR WORK team scores we can report: The Lorath Bay Buccanneers beat Never Go Full Eli 82-79. Kuhsti Kings beat Straight Cash Homie 76-66, Team Payne beat A Gurley Has No Name 131-91 and Teet Brand Giants Milk beat Game of Jones 108-72. The other two games were not reported due to team names befitting of fantasy football, but not a wrestling podcast. All scores unofficial until Tuesday, which Richard Immel knows all too well.

It's the return of Short Time Shots, a mostly nightly collection of scores and more from around the world of wrestling. I'm your host Jason Bryant, and the only bad jokes I know, are dad jokes. If you grew up in the 80s, you might like my references. Top Results: The first Division I dual meet of the year came and went in sunny San Diego, which is Spanish for something involving a whale. The sixth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers opened up year two of the Chris Bono era with a 31-8 win over Fresno State at the "AFC Duals," which is not a West Coast version of KFC. You know how Carl's Jr. is the Western version of Hardees, well, sorry to disappoint. Seth Gross returned to action with a fall at 133 pounds over NCAA qualifier Gary Joint in probably the dual's most notable match. Wisconsin's ranking as a dual meet squad might be a little lofty. Unranked Army West Point pushed the Badgers to the limit as the Badgers escaped 16-15 as Trent Hillger closed things out again for UW. Navy also beat Fresno State 25-9 before the night concluded with Army West Point beating Fresno State 26-10 on the Battle on the Midway. It was on a BOAT! This episode was actually held up so we could get the final score of that dual and not just fake it. No. 7 Minnesota opened up its season with a 28-9 win over CSU Bakersfield at Maturi Pavilion. The dual saw Manny Rivera return to his old stomping grounds. Top match there was freshman Brayton Lee holding on to beat Russell Rohlfing at 149 pounds. Elsewhere in Division I, Chattanooga topped SIUE 29-14 and Cleveland State beat a pair of Division III teams, John Carroll 27-14 and Case Western Reserve 51-(-1). In Division II, Davis & Elkins won the school's inaugural dual meet against Alderson Broaddus 36-12. Falls were registered by 125-pounder Shawn Moore and 157-pounder John Finnerty. The Senators jumped out to a 36-0 lead in an impressive debut. Hat tip to head coach Jerry Boland, know that guy from years coaching at Camden Catholic down at the Virginia Duals. No. 1 Pitt-Johnstown opened up its season beating East Stroudsburg 38-8. Also in Division III, Brockport blanked Penn State Behrend 50-0, UW-Platteville edged Cornell College 18-16. Isaac Wiegel's fall at 125 proved to be the key bonus points for Mike DeRoehn's Pioneers. My apologies to Jim Heath. Don't worry, it's an inside joke. In the NAIA, Jamestown (N.D.) beat York (Neb.) 42-7 and Midland 48-3. Overseas, no Americans will be wrestling for medals as the first day of Greco-Roman completed at the U23 World Championships in Budapest. On the women's side, Kayla Miracle, a four-time WCWA champion during her time at Campbellsville University, finished with a silver medal in women's freestyle at 62kg. What's on the docket: On Saturday, November 2, we have action at a number of opens, including Michigan State, Jamestown, Rochester - neither of those last two are in New York - as well as finishing off action at the Ithaca Invitational in Division III. There's duals across the country with the big one coming in Blacksburg as No. 9 Missouri faces No. 16 Virginia Tech at noon. LIU makes its return to Division I wrestling as the Sharks are in a quad at Rutgers with Centenary (N.J.) and the aforementioned Mountain Cats of Pitt-Johnstown. Placing Top Six (From The Newsletter): Willie Saylor of Flowrestling probably had the biggest nugget of news on the day, tweeting that Ohio State true freshman Greg Kerkvliet, a Minnesota native fresh off getting hosed at the U23 World Championships, has hit the NCAA transfer portal. Coupled with the recent news that Kyle Snyder left Columbus to train at the senior level in State College, Buckeye fans heads have officially exploded. Thoughts and Prayers to Dan Ransick. While Willie's tweet was deleted 15 minutes later, Flo did re-post the news shortly thereafter. Andy Hamilton of Trackwrestling’s Writing Time feature discusses how injuries and the relaxed hardship rules from the NCAA have changed how wrestlers look at their seasons. Among those featured are Northern Iowa’s Jacob Holschalg and Iowa’s Michael Kemmerer, both All-Americans. Ed Gallo of Bloody Elbow features the college career of Edinboro four-time All-American Gregor Gillespie and why his credentials should also be treated highly in the UFC. Ed’s also written a book, released this past summer on Notre Dame College undefeated four-time Division II champion Joey Davis. Ed’s got some chops, give his stuff a look. HawkeyeSports.com's Chris Brewer pens a solid feature on Iowa's redshirt freshman heavyweight, Tony Cassioppi. In a day where most of the content created by media relations offices centers around quick videos and easily sharable content, Iowa still does the well-written feature. This is no exception. By the way, do yourself a favor and go to HawkeyeSports.com, click on the roster and look for a wild swath of hair in the back row. Then scroll and look for Jeremiah Moody. He has now supplanted Lincoln McIlravy as my favorite all-time Hawk. In other news, the NAIA released its rankings prior to Thursday's competition and Grand View is ranked #1 in the nation. In other news, water, is wet. Speaking of Iowa, Iowa City's West High School announced it was launching a girls wrestling team. This isn't in the newsletter, but I thought it was relevant enough to mention here. Finally, closing the news with more Iowa stuff, The Predicament continues its Inside the Rivalry series with a look at Jesse Sundell. On The Network: The second part of my series focusing on the drop of St. Olaf wrestling in Minnesota is in the feed and featured on The Guillotine.com. What happens when you throw out crap excuses for cutting a sport, and you refuse to talk about it to the media? My wrath.

In late August, U.S. Ski Team (USST) Head Coach Chris Grover broke his own news, releasing three new sets of criteria on behalf of U.S. Ski & Snowboard, the national governing body for cross-country skiing. The three separate documents discussed by Grover and linked in his blog disclosed the selection criteria for World Cup and World Cup Period 1 team selection,  2019 World Ski Championships (WSC) in Seefeld, Austria, and the 2019/2020 national team. U.S. Ski Team Head Coach Chris Grover (front) with (from left to right) Simi Hamilton, Paddy Caldwell, Erik Bjornsen, and Ian Torchia on top of the Roc Cornafion above Villard-de-Lans, France, during a training camp this summer. (Photo: Chris Grover) Grover and new USST development coach Gus Kaeding spoke with FasterSkier for its podcast on Sept. 11 to highlight some of the updated criteria and provide context for the modifications. (A lightly edited conversation with Grover and Kaeding is available on the Nordic Nation podcast. Warning: you may want to time your listening for a 1.5-hour road trip or dish duty after a crowded dinner party. It's a lengthy discussion.) New U.S. Cross Country Development Coach Gus Kaeding. (Photo: Sarah Brunson/U.S. Ski & Snowboard) World Cup Selection Criteria Considering World Cup Period 1 starts, Grover stated in the following interview and in accordance with the selection criteria, the discretionary picks were made in consult with a larger working group. That group is comprised of four national-team staff coaches — Grover, Matt Whitcomb, Jason Cork, and Kaeding — as well as Dakota Blackhorse-von Jess (athlete rep), August Teague (chair of the cross-country coaches sub-committee), and eight senior club coaches: Chris Mallory (Sun Valley Gold Team), Erik Flora (Alaska Pacific University), Joe Haggenmiller (Central Cross Country), Pepa Miloucheva (Craftsbury Green Racing Project), Austin Caldwell (formerly of the Bridger Ski Foundation, now assisting the University of Colorado-Boulder Ski Team), Dragan Danevski (BSF), Pat O'Brien (Stratton Mountain School T2 Team), and Dan Weiland (Ski Club Vail). According to Grover, this 14-person working group was tasked with helping develop WSC and World Cup selection criteria. Further, this group, which again includes the four USST staff coaches, remains responsible for nominating the discretionary picks for each World Cup period this season. Once those World Cup Period 1 nominations were made, they were sent to a three-person discretionary selection review group with the authority to approve or disapprove those nominations. The language in the World Cup selection criteria, as it refers to this smaller group, reads as follows: “All discretionary selections will be reviewed by a discretionary selection review group comprised of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Nordic Program Manager, the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport, and the athlete representative from that sport who is a member of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Board. If the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Board Athlete Representative is also a currently competing athlete then another athlete, who is not actively competing, will be selected by the Athletes' Council to be the representative in this group.”   In a follow-up email, Grover clarified who serves on the discretionary selection review group. “This would normally be Bryan Fish, Luke Bodensteiner, and Rosie Brennan. Because Rosie is an active athlete, Dakota has replaced her,” Grover explained. The other changes to World Cup selection that Grover cited in his original blog post are as follows and discussed in the podcast: The standard by which men advance from one World Cup period to the next from top 30 to top 40 to reflect the greater depth in the men's WC field. Addition of SuperTour leaders as guaranteed starts to the Tour de Ski. Addition of language to the past criteria for selecting a World Cup Finals team in Quebec City, including: Top-30 individual performance at the Seefeld World Champs (the previous standard was top 25). Created a best 11 of 14 SuperTour results selection to round out the World Cup Finals team, to encourage athletes to continue to race in Europe mid-season, rather than feeling the need to attend every SuperTour competition. World Ski Championships Criteria Come late February, the World Championships begin. In a personal blog published on FasterSkier, Grover noted the key changes to the current WSC selection criteria. The World Cup remains the most direct path to meeting objective criteria for WSC team nomination. Discretionary selection is divided into two phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2. The phases refer to the use of coaches' discretion once objective criteria have been applied to WSC team selection. As FasterSkier understands the criteria, Phase 1 will be used to discretion solidly performing World Cup skiers who have not met objective criteria. Phase 1 reads much like recent 2017 Lahti and 2015 Falun WSC discretionary criteria. The current language allows for some latitude when considering potential team discretionary picks. An indication of potential future championship medal performance, as well as any outstanding competition results from last season and the 2018/2019 season, are tools for coaches making discretionary picks.   However, the “attitude and commitment of athletes” language included in the past as a possible factor in discretionary selection was excluded from the latest iteration of WSC selection criteria. The discretionary selections made by USST team coaches in Phase 1 will be reviewed by a three-person group including the U.S. Ski & Snowboard President and CEO Tiger Shaw, Bodensteiner, and the U.S. Ski & Snowboard board athlete rep as long as they are not actively competing. Another non-competing athlete will be chosen as a replacement if this conflict of interest arises. During the 2018 OWG selection, for example, former USST member Holly Brooks served as the athlete rep. Brooks was retired from competition when she served as part of the review committee.  For any remaining team spots, Phase 2 of discretionary selection “may” be used. This is where the selection of SuperTour skiers comes into play. Grover, in his blog, said the selection of domestic skiers from SuperTour could be perceived as the biggest change. Phase 2 can but is not obligated to consider the 2019 Championship Selection List and the “next best athlete” in what the criteria define as a “pool” of athletes. The “pool” is separated into four discrete disciplines: women's distance, women's sprint, men's distance, and men's sprint. The criteria also specify the “next best athlete” as “the highest ranked athlete on the ranking list in each of the four disciplines who was not nominated to the team.” The 2019 Championship Selection List will be created using an athlete's best two results in sprint and distance respectively with points accrued from SuperTour races and weighted U.S. National Championships races. (Sprint points for the Championship Selection List consider qualification place only.) The athlete pools allow for the USST head coach to select an athlete from a refined list based on sex and discipline, rather than a single men's or women's list. During the interview, Grover explained his rational behind Phase 2 Discretionary Selection and the use of pools. “We obviously found ourselves last year in a situation going into the Olympics where we were feeling compelled, due to the language in the criteria, to look at selection as one list of athletes,” hesaid. “And to look at athletes who had more points in any discipline, whether they were a man or a woman, a distance skier or a sprinter, as the next best athlete to be nominated to the team. By moving the secondary or domestic selection from an objective domestic selection to a discretionary selection, it gives us coaches discretion to be able to select from the correct pool to fill an open start spot. So if we know that we need to fill a men's 50 k skate spot, we can look to the men's distance list and not to an overall combination of women's and men's distance and sprint lists. So this is kind of a creative way that we feel is going to solve the issue that we had last year. The USOC [U.S. Olympic Committee] has given us the thumbs up, to go ahead and pursue, and we are hoping that it selects more of the right athletes at the bottom of the selection.”   The process for selecting athletes in Phase 2 appears streamlined. Grover recommends an athlete from the “pools” and the three-person selection committee makes the selection. The criteria also specify that potential WSC team athletes chosen during Phase 2 should have attained a minimum World Rank (FIS points) of 120 in sprint or distance by the release of FIS points list 5 for this upcoming season. In the past, athletes have contacted coaches to advocate for themselves. The updated WSC criteria provide guidelines by which athletes can contact Bodensteiner directly in writing as a means of self-advocacy. Those direct petitions are potentially considered by the selection committee.   For athletes with a grievance with WSC team selection, the criteria also provide contact information for the USOC Athlete Ombudsman Kacie Wallace. Athletes can contact the USOC for assistance when challenging their non-selection. In this instance, when it comes to the WSC and team selection, the USOC has oversight since the WSC selection criteria involve “protected competitions”. Both World Cups and the WSC are protected competitions by definition.  From USOC Bylaws, Section 1.3(W) pg. 3: “protected competition” means: 1) any amateur athletic competition between any athlete or athletes officially designated by the appropriate NGB or PSO as representing the United States, either individually or as part of a team, and any athlete or athletes representing any foreign country where (i) the terms of such competition require that the entrants be teams or individuals representing their respective nations and (ii) the athlete or group of athletes representing the United States are organized and sponsored by the appropriate NGB or PSO in accordance with a defined selection or tryout procedure that is open to all and publicly announced in advance, except for domestic amateur athletic competition, which, by its terms, requires that entrants be expressly restricted to members of a specific class of amateur athletes such as those referred to in Section 220526(a) of the Act; and 2) any domestic amateur athletic competition or event organized and conducted by an NGB or PSO in its selection procedure and publicly announced in advance as a competition or event directly qualifying each successful competitor as an athlete representing the United States in a protected competition as defined in 1) above. As FasterSkier understands, the USOC does not provide legal representation for athletes. However, the USOC does provide a lengthy list of arbitration decisions on its website as a resource for those who believe they have been wrongly denied membership on a team. Another notable change is the clarification of language as it pertains to the selection of WSC sprinters. In the context of selection criteria, it is referred to as the “5-sprinter-max rule”. In other words, no more than five sprinters total per sex will be selected to the current WSC team. Five male sprinters. Five female sprinters. No more. During the 2018 Olympic Winter Games (OWG) selection, the five-sprinter-max rule was challenged. Specifically, the language in the OWG selection criteria did not specify what happens when an athlete dually qualifies through objective criteria. For example, last year Jessie Diggins, Sadie Bjornsen, Kikkan Randall, and Sophie Caldwell all met objective OWG criteria in both distance and sprint. Would a dually qualified athlete's inclusion on the team take up both a distance spot and one of five female sprint spots? Last winter, that question appeared unsettled. The answer moving forward into the current 2019 WSC team selection period for the dually qualified athlete conundrum is a categorical yes. Dually qualified athletes do count towards a sprint spot.   Again, in the podcast, some of the other major changes are discussed in greater detail. 2019/2020 USST Selection Criteria: Kaeding was brought on board to help better define criteria when it comes to USST nominations. One thing is clear, the new criteria spells out in detail the performance benchmarks both senior and junior skiers should meet to receive USST member status. The new USST criteria include objective criteria for A, B, and D-team status based on an athlete's year of birth (YOB) and the minimum World Rank an athlete should have at a specific age. This is referred to as age-weighted criteria. For example, if an athlete was born in 1995 and is 24 years old by January and their World Rank is 20th or better, they'll be an auto-nomination to the A-team. Kaeding discusses in the podcast the data-crunching basis for the reliance on World Rank and an athlete's YOB when it comes to the objective criteria. In his blog post, Grover wrote the following regarding the use of World Rank: “The USST staff has spent much of the past year examining data from major championship medalists over the past decade, and have found that world rank is often the best indicator of who is on the path towards a future medal.” For A-team nomination, any athlete regardless of age who finishes in either the top-15 of the FIS World Cup Sprint and Red Group List and/or the top-15 in the FIS World Cup Distance and Red Group List is an A-teamer. The old A-team requirement involved a top-30 rank. Grover said in the podcast this change better reflects the World Cup's Red Group that includes only the top-15 skiers in sprint and/or distance. Red Group athletes have World Cup food and lodging paid for by the International Ski Federation (FIS). Additionally, any skier with a top-six result in a sprint or distance World Cup race punches the A-team ticket too. B-team objective requirements are less stringent. World Rank and YOB benchmarks are detailed. Further, an athlete born in 1996 and scoring an individual top 10 at the 2019 U23 World Championships is an auto-nomination to the B-team. D-team objective criteria have been both broadened and tightened. First and foremost, an athlete will have to be under 23 to remain a D-team athlete for 2019/2020. U23 World Championships results qualifying an athlete for the D-team have expanded to include an individual top 10 at U23s for an athlete born in 1997 or 1998. And any athlete at World Juniors placing in the top 10 moves onto the D-team. The old requirement for D-team nomination based on U23 and World Juniors individual performance was a podium finish. World Rank and YOB benchmarks are included in the D-team objective criteria. Coaches' discretionary selection to the B and D-teams remain a possibility. The language under the Discretionary Selection Policy section is similar to recent editions.   To contact Grover and Kaeding directly, they provided their email addresses: chris.grover@usskiandsnowboard.org gus.kaeding@usskiandsnowboard.org (To subscribe to the Nordic Nation podcast channel, download the iTunes app. If you have iTunes, subscribe to Nordic Nation here.)

For this episode, I had the pleasure of talking to professional Cross Country mountain biker Anton Cooper from New Zealand. At only 23 years of age, he has already set out to conquer the biking world by winning both the Junior and U23 World Championships, being the youngest winner of an U23 world cup of all time, and winning the Commonwealth Games 2014. After missing the Olympics 2016 due to chronic fatigue, he came back stronger than ever and in his latest world cup, placed second in the elite race by only an inch behind the current Olympic Champion. He now has his sights set on becoming the world's best biker and winning Olympic Gold at Tokyo 2020. Connect with Anton: Blog Facebook

For those of you with kids, it certainly sucks when they’re sick. I’m dealing with that right now. Having to keep the 16-month-old active and away from her big sister while she decides to empty the contents of her stomach. It’s seriously the saddest thing. Hopefully some of this news will be a pick-me-up. My recent outlet, home improvement, also took its shots at me as I got hit in the face by a nail as I was prying old nails from out of my soon-to-be destroyed deck. But this isn’t This Old House or Quincy -- a reference those of you over 45 might get -- this is Short Time Shots, a quick look back at the day’s notable scores and more from the world of college wrestling -- I’m Jason Bryant and my face hurts. In Blacksburg, Virginia, the Moss Arts Center was literally center stage as No. 4 Missouri faced No. 10 Virginia Tech in this season’s top dual so far. Virginia Tech came out flat, while Missouri was wrestling crisp and clean even without the services of All-American Jaydin Eierman. With nine of the 10 bouts featuring ranked opponents in some way, shape or form, there were numerous toss-ups. One such toss-up came at 133 where John Erneste controlled the action on his feet to top a dangerous Dennis Gustafson by an 11-2 major decision. Grant Leeth scored the biggest win of his college career, an 8-2 win over two-time All-American Solomon Chiskho. The dual’s biggest individual match was also its most surprising, not by who won, but by how. Second-ranked Jared Haught of Virginia Tech was up 7-2 in the third and appeared to be finishing a takedown before Willie Miklus, who’s fresh off a pasting by Iowa freshman Jacob Warner, whipped Haught through and rolled him over, pressed him flat, pinned his shoulders, to the mat. Miklus’ fall sealed the win for the Tigers. No. 13 Nebraska headed east to West Virginia and trounced West Virginia 28-13 in Morgantown. With no individual matchups featuring ranked wrestlers, no Zeke Moisey and a forfeit at 133, this matinee was rather ho-hum. Bloodround’s favorite heavyweight, David Jensen, earned a fall in 3:17. Looking for some #MACTION? The State University of New York AT Buffalo, AKA the University AT Buffalo, not OF Buffalo picked up its first MAC dual win of the year topping Ohio U. 27-9 IN Buffalo on Saturday afternoon. Individually, Kyle Akins and Joe Ariola scored falls to propel the Bulls, but Ohio got the top individual win of the night as No. 18 Cam Kelly topped No. 5 Bryan Lantry 4-3 at 133 pounds. Internationally … check out TheMat.com and Trackwrestling.com for coverage of the U23 World Championships from Poland. There isn’t much for the U.S. t o celebrate.

Canadian rowers Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee won the silver medal in the  Lightweight Pairs at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, after which they decided to hang up their oars. With over 20 years in the sport Lindsay explains why she was ready to retire. She was an alternate for Beijing 2008, and competed in London 2012 as well as Rio. The pair have stood on two world championship podiums, winning silver in 2011 and 2014 in addition to Lindsay’s gold in 2010 with Tracy Cameron. Patricia’s move into the double came on the heels of her bronze medal in the lightweight single sculls at the 2011 U23 World Championships. After competing in the lightweight single sculls in 2013, Obee re-teamed with Jennerich in 2014 to win their first World Cup medal together, bronze in Lucerne. It was on that same course two years later that they claimed their first World Cup victory as a duo in 2016. Chris Stafford caught up with the pair in Victoria, British Columbia.

Let's face it, nordic ski racing is about the most physically taxing of sports. Pre-race, mid-race, post-race, it's easy to come up with excuses and to complain. My tech missed the wax, I'm overtrained, I'm undertrained, sore muscles, no muscles … there's a lot to whine about. But in this episode, we're focusing on moxie. A young Jesse Knori in the skating zone: no pole style = moxie too.  (Courtesy photo) Mostly the sport is rife with teeth-grinding athletes seeking the sufferfest. One of those athletes is 23-year-old Jesse Knori, a 2017 University of Colorado-Boulder (CU) graduate and native of Jackson Hole, Wyo. On the spectrum of sufferfesting skiers, Knori is an outlier. For a young adult, Knori has already dealt with more than her fair share of physical and emotional pain. (For all the details, you'll have to listen to the podcast episode below.) Jesse Knori (University of Colorado-Boulder) leading Estonia's Anette Veerpalu during their quarterfinal of the women's classic sprint at U23 World Championships at Soldier Hollow in Midway, Utah. Knori finished third in that heat (while Veerpalu was sixth). While she didn't advance to the semifinals, Knori was the top U.S. woman in 15th on the day. (Photo: FlyingPointRoad.com) As a middle schooler, Knori was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis. Knori skied at CU and notched 15th in the classic sprint at this year's U23 Nordic World Championships in Utah. Clearly, Knori didn't let her autoimmune condition dictate her goal setting. Bottom line, Knori  is as tough as they come. And she's a sixth-generation Jackson Hole native and new coach at the Bend Endurance Academy in Oregon. She's the guest on Nordic Nation's first edition of its “Moxie Episode”.
