Skiing speed is the problem that is obviously holding back german biathlon. Even our juniors are lightyears behind the russian/norwegian/french juniors. I think german biathlon focuses too much on shooting. They should try to focus more on skiing speed and maybe develop a system where the best cross-country skiing talents also practice shooting in order to maybe switch to biathlon later on. A former cross-country skier possibly winning germany's only medal isn't a coincidence. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

OlympicsFan 791 Posted February 7, 2022 #373 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Denise Herrmann joins a rather short list of athletes who won a medal in two different sports at the olympics. I think 16 athletes have won medals in two different winter sports and apparently only 5 women (Reztsova, ter Mors, Ledecka, Weissensteiner and Erdmann) have done it. Reztsova is the only woman who has done it in biathlon and cross-country skiing before. rafalgorka, maestro and Adriano 3 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I think France concentrate on having a strong team rather than star individuals. Every single Olympics at least one is guaranteed to do well, even if others flop. maestro, Adriano and Styrka 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
