Do we know why?  DQF must be bad handover, or not following course, or serious safety violation.  Not doing enough loops, false start or minor technical error is only a time penalty.

Braisaz reloaded with à new magazine instead of hand-loading the last separate extra bullet

Braisaz reloaded from a magazine while standing shooting because she was missing a round. This is not allowed, of course, but she said she did not know about it.

 

@Bohemia To be honest, just like at the games. Bescond again with a good performance, which gives hope for the rest of the competitions. But the rest? Chevalier-Bouchet can't be used in relays anymore, again penalty loop, and this time 2. Justine stayed without penalty loop, but Simon again with penalty loop.
I missed Chloe Chevalier for the second time in this relay, who showed two good relays in Ruhpolding and Antholz.

It's time the team got fresh faces... 

They already weren't the best of friends but with this race the atmosphere between them is gonna worsen, and it's probably going to impact the rest of the season individually for all of them.

Seems strange she didn’t know: even I know that if you run out of bullets you’ve got to ask an Official.

The problem is Bescond will go. She had still been the one who provided a bit of cohesion among themselves. Otherwise, the team is really pretty bad since the departure of MDH. 
I could also imagine Chevalier-Bouchet quitting. She doesn't seem to have much desire anymore anyway, based on her attitude, and with her daughter at home, I think at most another year.
In the women's IBU Cup it looks quite good. Today again 4 in the top8. However, they must now also get times World Cup races, otherwise they also have no desire at some point. Paula Botet and Eric Perrot ran now the whole season in the World Cup without real top annoyances, with the exception of one race of Eric in Ruhpolding. 
Especially in the women's team had given up in the past again and again, because they were never allowed to run in the World Cup. But at least after this season then 1-2 places will be free.

Helena Ekholm Said in Swedish tv ut should have been okay if she just would have taken a bullet our from the magazine and hand-loaded it.

Zingerle already announced he's going to quit the coaching job in Italy at the end of the season...

it's time to comeback home in South Tyrol for Ole Einar & Daria... 

Damn, with so many talented Italian youngsters coming through, he might miss the golden age of Italian biathlon.

 

Or perhaps he's just running away from coaching his kids?
