I'm expecting a lot from Knotten tomorrow :NOR 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 :cool:).

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.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

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

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

 

Todorova brings :BUL 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.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
