Unbelievable!  Incredible shooting by Braisaz, and I didn't think I'd say that! Even Simon shot well

In the standing shooting she is brilliant this year but prone … That could have been 3 misses in the prone today.

That shooting + smile from Justine 

China 6 minutes behind despite shooting 0+3 Good performance still, at least what they need to qualify the relay for Beijing.

We know Germany are slowish on the skiing at present, but with 0+4 you would expect a podium finish at least and not finishing behind a team with 2 penalty laps. Years past having 0+4 would mean an instant relay win for them..

Strolia is slowly becoming the biathlete that I always wanted to have as a fan.

 

Managed to get into points in all 4 races and three different disciplines.

 

Is at the moment 21st overall biathlete, I know it's early days, but really no Lithuanian has ever been up there.

 

Would be awesome if he somehow gave Lithuania the very first male top 10.

 

Best ever result was 8th place by Diana Rasimovičiūtė in 2011/12 Oberhof Sprint. 

 

Strolia already had two opportunities to be in top 10 this year if he missed 1 less.

Polish women's relay was lapped, I didn't saw this coming even in the darkest dreams   Looks like having "new" old coach wasn't good decision at all, Michael Greis should stay with them, but....
