 So poor! No pursuit for Chevalier is a disaster, and Braisaz ist a disaster again.

Bescond is our only chance left...

Looks like Justine's ski speed stayed in Europe.

For me Wierer's bronze is so far the best medal at these Olympics. Congrats Doro!

really happy for Wierer's bronze. I hope some miracle happens in next 2 races and she wins a gold eventually

To be honest, they have no other choice than to make Chloe fit for the Relay. Justine is a disaster, just like at the World Championships last year. Slow shooting times, many mistakes and a really weak skiing form. With her, the relay can only backfire. Both Anais and Julia had at least a good race which gives hope, but with Justine they will go home without a medal in the relay. Chloe is at least a solid relay runner and I hope she is running in a good shape so that she can be used in the starting position. But with Justine all hopes would be lost before the start, she just doesn't get it right at big events. 
The Swedes and Norwegians are probably beatable anyway, but with Justine they would be without a chance even against teams like Russia or Germany.

It was cute hearing Mike and Scott Dixon doing the commentary together. They had some very similar reactions to clean shootings.

 

Top 10 for Moldova! But actually not their best ever result. Levtchenkova was 8th in Torino.

In case someone needs an update on pronouncing biathlon names. All non-Slavs should be thankful Stvrtecky's first name isn't Grzegorz or you'd all be screwed twice

German women back to their usual (snail) self, blowing two medal chances in one race. Still don't understand why biathlon has a medal event that is based on the result of another medal event. Makes zero sense for biathlon to be the only? sport to have this. Why not use the downhill results in alpine skiing as first part of the alpine combined results while we are at it?

Team Dressage and Eventing sharing some of the scores might be the closest to it.
