This is written for Relays that DSQ or DNS and thus are not classified and not score points to the Nations Rankings

It is still not clear if Ivona will be fit already for the Sprint, if not we will try to save her as much as possible at least for the relay, (considering the very bad situation, we will have to start in at any cost now)

Valentina and Vita Semerenko will spend the next two weekends on the IBU Cup and not go to Hochfilzen and Annecy.

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. 

This one aged well

 

Vytautas Strolia is going to finish in the highest position of Lithuanian male biathlon ever. It's going to be 11th place and this time it's a freakin' +0.1 off of a historical top 10 performance

 

Well, I'll take what I can get. With the way it's going, he has a good chance to become the third Lithuanian ever to qualify to a mass start, but the first one ever to qualify with top25 world cup points and not the +5 additional spots like Diana Rasimovičiūtė, or in Olympics/World Championships like Tomas Kaukėnas. 

 

EDIT: Scratch that crap, Nawrath came out of nowhere :DDDD Anyways, it's a historical 12th place, which is still the highest position in Lithuanian male biathlon ever.
