Woah, Tomas Kaukėnas might get a PB today

[Werloc 3,127]

Well, it seems now that it won't be, but still a respectable result and good points for team Lithuania

Fourcade, again! What boring season in biathlon

Great battle between and for the 22nd place in women's nations cup. 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.

our coaching staff unveiled our tomorrows relays compositions

 

Single mixed relay (Kuzmina/Kazár)

 

Mixed Relay (Paulína Fialková/Ivona Fialková/Hasilla/Otčenáš)

 

 

 

a small return to yesterdays sprints, Again very good performances from our girls, but once again a bad shooting dropped our results down, yesterday was clearly the day when you need a 0 in shooting, each one loop costs a lot. Nastya after her illness troubles finished 15th with 1 loop, Paulína and Ivona both had 2 faults in the shooting, this was yesterday too much, at least Paulína managed thanks her very good skiing to finish on points.

In the mens category it was a disaster in the shooting resulting in the fact that any of our boys did qualified for todays pursuit race.

 

At least mathematically both our teams should be officially qualified for the Olympic Games with 5 + 5 quotas.

Paulína

Amazing job! 

 

Laura takes the overall globe 

 

And Vittozzi takes her first ever podium, great results  

[hckošice 13,264]

very sad for Kuzmina, she looked simply absolutely FANTASTIC today her classic total winning mode but unfortunately destroyed everything with her today disastrous shooting

 

in other side Paulína, is the girl of the day. no doubts about that. from 37th to 5th only 4 seconds behind the podium. we knew she has the potential to finally reach this podium one day. hopefully one day
