OlympicsFan 783 Posted February 22, 2017 #901 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Gabi retiring is very good news for german biathlon. Kuzmina, Daria, Kaisa and Dorin also should be gone pretty soon and then Laura should dominate even more. As a non-german fan you have to hope that either Dahlmeier retires as well or that some new girl somehow manages to challenge her, otherwise this sport will become even more boring than on the mens side. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love German biathletes, but it would still be more fun if Dahlmeier was challenged and honestly, if she'll have no one to challenge her, she will not stick around for too long. If Wierer regains the 2015/16 form, she might have a chance to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a german fan its kind of boring to watch her dominate everyone else, for the same reason most german people dont really care about nordic combined, bob or luge. I think Preuß and the young french girls have the best chance to challenge her in the next couple of years. If Carl decides to change to biathlon, things could also get pretty interesting. Maybe some of the swedish girls will also get there. Edited February 22, 2017 by OlympicsFan Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Werloc 3,127 Posted February 22, 2017 #906 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) It seems that our guys got overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the competition. Usually they miss from 0-1 targets, sometimes 2 on a stop at the range. Now it seems like 2 or 3 is the norm today and that is quite disappointing. Hopefully they'll pull it together before the sprint. Edited February 22, 2017 by Werloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
