That’s the question German biathlon fans need to ask.  Why did Neuner & Dahlmeier retire early, at the height of their skill?  Was something wrong in the team that drove them away?

The vast amount of media attention. Both Neuner and Dahlmeier were hyped to the max since their early World Cup days. And yes, this is really a question especially the media should be asked (ofc, they don't )

Sensational race by Fillon Maillet! Hope Hofer somehow gets a medal.. but mmhmm

Respect for your prediction skills, you should consider starting a career as a clairvoyant

I would have NEVER expected this, Herrmann barely had a handful of good competitions over the last two years, 15km with 4 shootings never was a good event her (until today) and after that disastrous shooting in the Mixed relay I had already buried the hopes for today. Voigt is a sensastion too. She had the fastest last lap, unbelievable.

Germany on its way for Olympic Record for most shots during a relay. 4 shootings with 8 shots

Thank you! However, I am not reading out of this article that they will definitely and come what may send six men if Germany get six places ;-)

Bernd Eisenbichler, sporting director of biathlon in Germany, has already confirmed that if six men will go there, even without the standard. The sixth man will be determined after Ruhpolding or Antholz at the latest. The same applies to the fifth lady. 4 ladies+5 men are already sure.

Okay, that's news to me. Interesting. Thx.

have to end the worst in 10th place. (assuming SVK will not finish better than 16th)

Expand  

...and that's highly unlikely given the recent performance of the Japanese men. So I think SVK can start to prepare their relay team for Beijing. ;-)

Germany will definitely send six athletes. It is also about securing the relay in case of quarantine. It would be stupid if a country wouldn‘t use all the spots.

Expand  

I am not sure about that. Why the internal qualification standards then (1x TOP 8 or 2x TOP 15)? For securing the relay you can justify athlete no. 5 - but six? I don't know. But we'll see. ;-)

If Wright gets nominated will be very difficult 

Eremits (Est) 😳

I think another reallocation place will be available if Germany stays in 3rd position. I doubt that Germany will nominate more than 5 men (unless Zobel having a fantastic pursuit race on Sunday). Sweden will overtake Germany for 3rd place if and only if they win the relay on Saturday (which is totally possible, esp. without Norwegian A team) and Germany finishing 3rd or worse.

Today's result was a foreshadowing on the German biathlon results after the 2022 Olympics. Frankly, the perspectives are quite dark.
