Werloc 3,127 Posted November 15, 2016 #85 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Due to some personal issues, Diana Rasimovičiūtė of Lithuania focused all of her time to training in order to forget them and it really seems to be paying off. Now the question is, if the best Lithuanian biathlete is ready to have a season of her life starting late November. During the competition in Norway, she took 13th place in the sprint, finishing right after famous Miriam Gossner. During the Mass Start, Diana was in contention for a very high spot with the shooting of 0+0+1, but missing three in the last standing knocked her out of top 10. In an interview she mentioned that she is very happy and determined to show up this year. Edited November 16, 2016 by Werloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,557 Posted November 22, 2016 #86 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Susanna Kurzthaler has announced her retirement:http://www.tt.com/sport/12283913-91/die-struktur-ließ-meine--karriere-nicht-mehr-zu.csp Yep, that's right. The 21-year old Austrian who won gold (individual) and bronze (relay) at this year's junior world championships. If I'm reading it correctly, the training centre/"Stutzpunkt" in Seefeld has been cancelled and everyone's basically forced to move to Hochfilzen. That raised a ton of problems, ÖSV didn't manage to solve it (they say they tried everything, Camp Kurzthaler says they only gave false hope) and in September she decided to call it quits. Interesting detail: She sent a letter to the national doping agency to be removed from the testing pool, as retiring athletes do, but a few weeks later they came to test her anyway. Which she decided to make no problem of - smart decision, otherwise there might have been a shadow over her with rumours like "she refused a doping test and then quit..".
