I'm expecting a lot from Knotten tomorrow  If she can somehow have one or two penalty loops they would be at least 3mins behind the leader hopefully some top nation. Then Eckhoff will ski fast but be on penalty loop at least once, Ida Lien maybe a few spare rounds and ideally 1 penalty loop with slow skiing hopefully then followed by Roiseland who will have too much to make up.. If things go according to this tomorrow we will have interesting race. 

I'm more afraid of Lien than Knotten xD Knotten is actually a good shooter. With Eckhoff, I have the feeling that she will pull herself together tomorrow and stay without a penalty round. I trust Roeiseland with everything, even to catch up 30 seconds against Elvira. 
For the German women, a lot will depend on the shooting times. Normally they shoot totally slow, but for a possible medal this could be decisive. From the results, 2nd place should actually be possible.
But I still bet on Sweden, Norway, Germany (because of Marte ).

Germany is winning too many golds in sliding sports, keep some for smaller nations 

Sorry, without those medals Germany would be too low on the medal table, only in 15th place behind nations like Canada or Slovenia and only slightly ahead of Australia.

What a joke, Germany will be in top 5 at worst and yeah those bronze medals no longer change your position now.

Hojnisz last but one after the 1st shoot

Vittozzi her usual confident self, easily nails 5/5.

She's probably not going to stay there, but go Dunklee for !

If Norway doesn't win gold, it won't be because of Knotten

 

Todorova brings in 4th place after 1st leg. Shame they will only go down from here.

How do the targets work?

In pursuit events, when leader is finished, all 5 targets are white, but when no 31 arrives there, it is all black. Also, the smaller black circle is not visible during standing shooting. How does this work? I can't imagine an organizer resetting boards after each shhoting

There are different lanes for both prone & standing shoots The standing shoot targets are larger.
