Lithuania has taken the 22nd place after today, but only by a whisker! That's essentially a battle for the Olympic quota in mixed relay. Well, it wouldn't be a battle if our women's team wasn't an utter disappointment. Since we never do well in the relays, I think we'll need a magical sprint at Oslo to take Estonia down. Also, too bad that our men had huge problems with consistency, we really had a chance to qualify with 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at their line up for tomorrow, Lithuania should really beat them, but... If you think Lithuanian girls are hopeless, then look at what Kadri Lehtla is doing these days. I wonder if she is even a serious athlete these days. Edited March 11, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,557 Posted March 12, 2017 #993 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Laura gets told by the German reporter that she has actually won the overall World Cup, as she wasn't doing the maths and just focussed on performing well, she didn't know it yet After the "whooo!!" there's some more questions like "But is it 100% sure now? Are you certain?" 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 just hope that mixed relay wouldn't be over for us after the girls start, cause Kaukėnas can bring some time back during 3rd leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werloc 3,127 Posted March 12, 2017 #997 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Well, we started with 40 points of damage done to our women's nation cup battle for 2 quotas and since we theoretically can only beat two teams in the mixed relay, we will need a very good sprint at Oslo for our women.

Gianlu33 3,572 Posted March 12, 2017 #998 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Still 2 events to finish the Road to Pyeongchang. After the single relay no new quotas (? - i must correct all my calculations) are absigned. In men's cup Finland climb the ranking and now is is 20th positions, the last useful positions for qualify 5 athletes. In women's cup Lithuania is now in 22th positions and Estonia will not compete at OG whit the men's team and they virtually lost the mixed relay.

dcro 10,179 Posted March 12, 2017 #999 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It's ridiculous that single mixed relay counts for qualification... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and 420 (840 if we count both ranking) points for the winner are too much... 1st place in sprint race win only 160 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
