Biathlon at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

Repinc has been/is still injured. She has not appeared on the international circuit this year and only raced in Slovenia in December. 

In the sprint she was beaten by K.Vindišar on equal shooting and beat Ž.Klemenčič by 26'' with two less mistakes.

No, Slovenia haven't quota. Polona and Lena got a personal wild card.....
If Slovenia take Ziva, she couldn't compete in Beijing.

Nope, the rules are clear, the quota are not nominative. Each NOC is free to send whichever athlete they want as long as they are < 150 IBUQP, which is not selective at all.

Same applies for Korea. Frolina brings one quota but will not go to Beijing since she's pregnant.

So, instead Frolina, to Beijing will go another Korean, or next biathlete of the IBU points (Gabriela Lescinskaite)?

 

Baiba Bendika got a quota for Latvia, but can go to OG for example, Sanita Bulita?

Theoretically, yes (in case Bulina has under 150 IBU points, which I believe she does?).

Ok, I was thinking more on Nika Vindišar before Repinc or any other.

Well thank god for that. Was scared he wouldn't make it and then we'll end up losing him. Hopefully he gets the support he needs now. It's a travesty it took this long.

Now I'm curious if he'll stay with the team/coach he has been with for the past few years, or if he'll try and join a bigger team or something.
