16th podium in a row for Martin, record in progress.

 

It's probably gonna stop this weekend, he did big training sessions earlier this week so he probably won't be in shape for the next two days (who knows though, his best sprint result in Antholz was today)

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY :woot:

 

If we'd take away two of the worst races points away from Martin (48+48) and Johannes (30+28), they both would be at the exact same points, Johannes compensating his two third places with having two more wins over Fourcade. So the person that ends up beating the other tomorrow, is the actual yellow bib leader.

 

Edit: Unless of course if Martin finishes lower than 3rd, he's still hypothetically gaining points, so this is a fiesta that we're having :d

First points in this season for Guzik, second best result for him, first ever pursuit race at world cup for Nędza-Kubiniec, probably first time since Sikora's retirement we have two guys in pursuit and we take two quotas for Olympics, more than incredible day for our mens biathlon :champion::bowdown:

Jacquelin first u23 in the top 5 since ... Johannes Boe in Khanti two years ago (he did it several times before), before him was Quentin Fillon-Maillet in Ruhpolding 2015 (with the incredible finish between him, Schempp and Slesingr) and before was Simon Desthieux in Oslo 2014 :p

So the French are quite precocious, though QFM has not won yet, and Destieux has not made a podium neither :(

Woah, what an honourable move from Domracheva :woot:

I missed what happened, only saw that Wierer finished with one pole. 

 

Domracheva stepped on her pole, causing Wierer to lose it, and because of that Domracheva let her go ahead? Or did I miss something more? :p 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Domracheva was behind her, stepped on Wierer's pole and then she just tucked in behind Wierer not trying to pass her basically.
