Biathlon at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

The biathlon I watched didn't feel like Biathlon at all. If the right things are not told half of the interest is gone. I just hope the individual races will be nicer, Norway seem to be winning the rest of them with that ski speed. 

Is the skitime of the Norwegians that outstanding? Eckhoff was as fast as Herrmann, Oeberg and Simon on her lap. And also Roeiseland was not so dominatin, 13 seconds slower for example than the ladies from the second group and the course length was exactly the same.

 

 In the men's race Johannes Bö was for example slower than Loginov and also Nawrath was only 8 seconds slower. Tarjej Bö for example was 20 seconds slower than Loginov.

 

I don't see any dominance there, especially since the four fastest Norwegians were skiing today and the rest tend to be a bit slower than the four. There is no gold preprogrammed, especially with that wind.

Simon deffo has the ski speed. She can cause an upset in mass start if she shoots well.

 

Nawrath always seems to do best in relays. He can't quite get in together in individual races though.

Is that official? Because Turin had both freestyle skiing and ski jumping under the lights. I am pretty sure the last Winter Olympics with no snow events under the lights was Salt Lake City.

no, there's nothing official...

 

but I'm pretty sure that Antholz won't build any artificial lights system...it's located in a valley with too strong environmental protection laws...

 

ski jumping probably will be under the floodlights, as the hill already have the artificial lights system...

 

I don't have any idea about Livigno and the freestyle events, as I've never seen a world cup event there (even if they have one of the most beautiful snowpark in the Alps)...

Yeah, I recall the ski jumping and aerials under the lights in 2006. Italy is a country where they have that mid-day siesta period so they would be more destined to hosting more events at nights.

 

Hosting night events at SLC would be terrible for European audiences, I suspect in 2030 they will only host some US-strong freestyle events to ignore the European demands. But events like ski jumping will be held in local daylight to please the European market IMO.

the mid-day siesta is more a legend than reality these days...

 

and in any case, it's something typical of the extreme south of Italy...from Rome north, only 80+ years old people in the retirement houses might take one, surely not people going to school/work...

Wierer was very good in Antholz with good ski speed and shooting then today there's nothing of it at all. Perhaps she peaked early with her ski form same with Hana Sola who has gone downhill after Oberhof. 

no, Wierer's problem is the temperature...she's always had big troubles when the air goes down well below 0 (in Antholz it was way warmer than today)...

Ski Jumping, some Freestyle/Snowboard, Men‘s Slalom, Ski Mountaineering Sprint (probably), Luge/Bobsleigh and the indoor events will be probably in the evening, but definitely no Biathlon.

The weather at the day is also too good for races under floodlights. They could time it at 3pm, then it is primetime in Asia and in the morning in the US, so optimal.

I wrote that...nowadays basically only the older people might take a break after lunch, but those who have to work (or go to school) have a busy day from early morning to late afternoon (and someone even more)...

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.
