Moreover most of these biathletes come from high altitude regions anyway? They should be best suited for this altitude by default :dunno:

Not for the altitudes in a desert.

I hate my work for making me miss Justine winning an Olympic title... I don't know how I would've reacted if I'd seen it live!   My dad sent me a text telling me she won and I seriously thou

Altitude is an altitude, period. The excuse doesn't hold any value. Cadurisch's home town is located at 500m higher elevation than the biathlon complex. It's a terrible excuse.

tbh, this venue is at the same altitude of Antholz, where I've never seen anybody collapsing that way (actually, the previous collapse by Tandrevold was in Oberhof, one of the lowest places in Biathlon)...

 

All the problems we've experienced in these Olympics are surely related to different factors (cold, well known and established sickness -Tandrevold's case- maybe some "treatment" not gone the right way)...

 

p.s. moreover, many Scandinavian athletes who are not born in altitude places normally and regularly abuse of the hypobaric chamber all year long...:evil:

so, altitude conditions shouldn't be an issue even for them...

Just for comparison - The 1960 Olympic Biathlon was held at McKinney Creek just outside of Squaw Valley, CA at an elevation of 6700' or 2042 meters!  Granted it was only one race, the Individual, and in a classic ski technique.  I just wanted to add that historical fact there.  Not sure if it really adds anything to the discussion, but who knows. :)

Stina Nilsson will fly home without starting in any race. But now they announce that she won several of their test events in Beijing.:wacko: Magnusson might have been 7th in the sprint but I really wish Stina would have raced instead if it is true that she was in such great shape.

In cross-country skiing, they have already said that it was not so smart to change. Now a whole year of preparation was without success, no race ...

Well, it's good chance for Hojnisz-Staręga to broke our curse of always being close to medal at Olympics which started in Torino... :d 

 

Or other random result like medal for Stremous :lol:

      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.

      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.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      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 ,
