So I know that you can't take anything for granted in the wiki retirement thread, because they always make mistakes (for example: Kočergina has not announced anything about retiring, but she's on the list)...

 

but seriously, did Japan completely take away the funding from biathlon, because their entire team seems to be retiring??

Sometimes I have this crazy urge to waste my time, hopefully someone finds this interesting, the list on retirements of biathletes from the past 9 competitive seasons (3 post-Olympic ones) that Wikipedia wrote about: mistakes are inevitable, only highlighted some biathletes from said country.

Gwizdoń didn't officialy retired yet. She said something like that she want broke another records in next season, but I don't know if she was serious or not. Did you forgot about Krystyna Guzik who officialy retired last year.

I didn't forget Krystyna, but as I've said, I followed only the info that was on the wiki, so I couldn't recall which year was her last.

She didn't competed after Pyeongchang Olympics anymore, but she officialy announced her retirement last year.

Great stat on British Eurosport: Vittozzi has missed 3 or more 13 times this season.  Got more issues than Paris Match.

Yeah, that has been one of the main things this season. I truly wonder where that's coming from, obviously Vittozzi is not a bad biathlete by any stretch of the imagination, but this season it's utterly terrible in terms of specifically her first prone shooting bout...

 

One would almost imagine there's some serious personal issue in the background that's going on, it's nonsense to think it's just a matter of "she's not mentally strong" for example. I hope she can get rid of this...

She's probably mentally devastated, because her best friend in the team is thinking about retiring.

    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?
