And I really doubt that he will recover after today race to fight for medal in mass start, relay is only one remaining chance, if he will be choosen to this race at all...

This is actually a really great result for Canada, matches the most qualified entries we've ever had in the mass start. Men's biathlon is one of the few sports where I'm actually really happy with the results for .

Oh my God! Poor Ingrid. Let's hope she's OK...

Personally I prefered Hauser for bronze, but after it became clear she couldn't make it, I found myself rooting for Tandrevold. For me, she is the most likeable of the Norwegians and it is very sad she lost what would be her first olympic medal in such a terrible way. I hope she can recover in time to race the relay on Wednesday and win that medal there.

His skiing times are okay, but shooting... oh boy, oh boy.

 

Lukas Hofer shooting 20/20, but Laegreid 10/20 nobody could ever predicted that.

Some Relay Predictions ...

Women
*** Norway
** Sweden
* Russia, Germany, France
Top favorite has to be Norway, provided Tandrevold is ready to go, they are skiing closed dominant, especially with Roeiseland they have a mega wild card. Behind them Sweden most consistent, but the running form is not so great, so only on silver. Behind them it should come to a fight for bronze between Russia, Germany and France, whereby Russia should have the best cards.

 

Men
*** Norway
** France
* Russia, Germany
Top favorite also here Norway, this team unity is probably not to beat. Behind them, France should be the strongest team, even if they have 3 shaky candidates at the shooting range. Behind them I estimate Russia on bronze, but give Germany quite the chance to offer competition.

Justine Braisaz  will run the relay . Hopefully it will at least start, so that the loss is not quite so huge. If not, medal for Russia or Germany

Go anywhere else, any forum, and tell them you want the pursuit out of the Games. They will rebuff you, when they are not simply insulting 

Very strange to notice. But at least we get to see some people complaining about something quite obvious, imho.
