Skottheim should get her Olympic Chance in the Relay.

Would think Persson, Brorsson, H Öberg, E Öberg in the olympic relay, even if I am not that comfortable with Brorsson in Standing.

Hallie Grossman with 7 misses on the easiest range on the tour   @RobtheAggie

 

Only other woman had more than 4 - Lisa Vittozzi (5).

Grossman is in the WC squad and Joanna Reid is in at the IBU Cup this weekend.  Reid finished in 19th, 2:39 behind with 3 misses.  Not quite sure why Reid stayed in Brezno-Osrbile.

Well I can't see her competing in relay it'll be Oebergs Person Brosson

 

Skottheim shooting clear is same as 3 spear rounds and 2 penalty loops.

She was at least nominated here for Ruhpolding for the relay. She should also get another chance for the Olympic ticket. So despite the good results of the others today we should actually see Skottheim on Friday.

Could be Magnusson instead of Brorsson too. She is already selected to Beijing but not Brorsson.

Tiril Eckhoff  will no longer compete in relay and pursuit. Instead she will join the rest of the team in altitude training in Italy to prepare for Antholz and the Olympics:

Sprint (Today):

 

From view

 

Assuming the Slovaks will not improve our 199 points, the Japanese must not gain 242 and the Estonians 244 points.

 

To give you an idea, in the last fifteen sprints the Japanese have reached such points only twice, even very narrowly, and the Estonians only once, when Zahkna literally exploded last week and brought them an incredible 17th place.

Ie. it would be a lot of bad luck for us if both countries manage to do so in Ruhpolding.

 

The Slovaks could make it even more difficult for their opponents if they overcame the mentioned 199 points, ie a combination of 59th, 61st and 94th places for example, which we achieved in December 2020 in Hochfilzen. We hopefully believe it will be within our possibilities.

 

Interestingly, while the Estonians know they are basically now playing for everything and god know they are suddenly doing really really well, the Japanese have done very well this entire season so far, but in Oberhof it seemed like they maybe started to have run out of pace, so hypothetically perhaps the Japanese are now a lesser threat....who knows

 

 

Relay (Saturday):

 

From view

 

Slovaks need to improve 160 points from 16th place, Japanese and Estonians need to improve 17th place. They will receive 10 points for each higher placement. So hypothetically, if the Japanese didn't get anything from the sprint, they would need an almost unrealistic tenth place in the relay, the Estonians even eighth.

 

However, after the sprint, the cards are expected to be served again. I will recalculate this again after the sprint.

 

[JonPhi 250]

 Plans to rest both Oebergs in the Relay. Skottheim, Brorsson and Nilsson should all be in this Relay for the last tickets.

 

 no Bescond

 

 no Eckhoff

 

So no real Highlight as I would expected.

Are we possibly rewriting Lithuanian biathlon history right now????????????????????
