ahjfcshfghb 285 Posted December 7, 2016 #281 Share Posted December 7, 2016 By the way... interesting start lists (zeroing allocations) for the IBU Cup mixed relays. The single mix has Macedonia, Australia, Chile and BELGIUM. Yes, they apparently have a woman now. Mixed relay has Greece and Spain. And both of course have Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia, the UK and Moldova. Should be fun to watch! https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=http://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/1617/BT/SIBU/CP02/MXSR/BT_C45C2_1.0.pdf https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=http://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/1617/BT/SIBU/CP02/MXRL/BT_C45C2_1.0.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chile must be Claudia Salcedo (who was rather slow in Obertilliach last season) who apparently found a guy to compete with. I believe 10-12 years ago Chile had several athletes competing in Europa/IBU Cups, but it's been a while since I saw Chilean guys there. I know they have two 16/17-year old girls who are trying out biathlon, but I doubt they'll already be in the IBU Cup As for Spain, I guess it's Henar Etxebarria with a woman I don't know yet, since Vicky Padial is at the World Cup. Yet another interesting development! Do you happen to know how to search for athletes from a specific country on IBU's new website? I want to search for all Belgian biathletes, but I can only enter family and given names.. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I want to search for all Belgian biathletes, but I can only enter family and given names.. Well I don't know of a way, but in Belgium's case their federation's website (the websites of many countries can be found on IBU's site under 'Federations') list a certain 'Rieke De Maeyer' as part of the IBU Cup team, so it must be her, she's the only female there. Chile will be cool. She was quite slow, but it's great that she's competing. That means all the Latin American countries have done relays. Is Argentina competing this year, I wonder? Same strategy as Brazil, maybe? I wonder about Greece's relay team, will the second woman be Nimpiti? I remember her in the JWC, she wasn't too great, but maybe she's improved?

I know Maria Cecilia Dominguez (who competed in the IBU Cup last season) has been competing in Brazilian rollerski competitions last months, but I didn't hear anything about biathlon..if I'm not mistaken, there were one or two young Argentinian girls at the IBU Development Camp in Argentina some months ago, but like with the Chileans, I guess it's too early to compete in the IBU Cup already. Where do you find the list of federations? I know what you mean (the list with the addresses/websites/e-mail addresses etc), but since they migrated to the new website I can't find it anymore If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
