But still he performed already better than Szczurek and Guzik. But fellow IBU Junior Cup athlete Zawół has done better and will make the pursuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 14,768 Posted January 7, 2022 #372 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Baloga today probably buried our chances to have a Relay in Beijing... Due to the poor result of Baloga, our team gained today only a few points in the Olympic qualification. The big problem is that although definitely dropped out of the fight for the Olympics since they were not here at full strength and send their best athletes to the IBU Cup to Osrblie, scored exceptionally today, experiencing their best races in many years - Zahkna finished 17th with 0+0 and others took 57th and 65th places. That earned them a incredible 284 points !!! and are now only 54 points behind us 4 races before the end of the Road to the Olympics. Today they even erased 138 points from our gap. If they overtook us, (which is unfortunately very realistic, given they have their strongest events XR and XSR to come) only Šima and Bartko could probably start at the Olympics, and Šimon is yet the last above the cutting IBU points line. The WOG Qualification ranking is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WOG Qualification ranking is here. But Japan is still behind so if only one of the two overtake Slovakia then you're still in. And Slovakia has got more leeway to score in the mixed relays : both have a 80 points best in the XR but Estonia has a best of 110 points in the XSR when Slovakia has 70 points. Considering Fialkova's form a good single mixed could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's @hckošicevery old stratergy to tell they won't qualify or win medals every sport and they end up qualifying a big number . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, will be super close, will certainly overtake us, their results lately are much better than ours, I do not see us to keep them behind us. Japan is also a threat but may be a close battle until the end for sure and can end on both side. + There still the Chinese, they have no results in mixed events so they will earn tomorrow a huge load of points as well.. we will see but I am not entirely confident for our boys here. 1 minute ago, Fly_like_a_don said: Why on earth are you explaining him.

I am afraid this time it is not gonna work but we can blame only ourselves, with such budget and support not qualifying a relay is just an epic embarassing failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartko is far from safe if you drop out of twenty. Right now he would be in last qualifying position. Romania and Croatia chasing him 😂, of course assuming Wright will be nominated.

Thats what I wrote. Šimon is in the last place above the cutting line. I already smell this nightmare, not having a relay is embarassing but not having even a mixed relay will be just last nail in the svk biathlon coffin. as we say in popular proverb...let the last one turns off the light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
