Biathlon IBU World Cup 2021 - 2022

[Monzanator 4,525]

Women's sprint in Oslo has started. Elvira Oeberg with three misses in prone but Hanna manages to miss four!

 

Looks like wind has changed after the early numbers. Wierer with three misses too.

These warm temperatures are terrible for the later numbers, course is trash. Top 3 all in the first nine bib numbers. Norway knew what they were doing putting Olsbu & Ekchoff so early.

Top 10 today:

 

Norway 2x, France 2x, Germany 2x and Austria 1x

 

...

 

and 3x Czechoslovakia

 

but Paja, honestly what about how unlucky is that the season is going to end...I see she fantastically peaked the form this season for April

Champaigne for Eva Puskarcikova who won't make the pursuit so this was her last World Cup start.

Nice race from Emilien Claude today. Despite two mistakes still World Cup points. Eric only 60th with one mistake. This confirms my thesis that Eric could have been replaced.
Whether Julia Simon is doing herself a favor at the moment? From a skating point of view, it looks Not good after her fall. She should skip the pursuit tomorrow, at least she can still fight for the globe in the mass start. And with her current skiing form she has no chance tomorrow anyway.
Otherwise quite a curious race. For the women from bib number 10 onwards there is no chance for reasonable running times. Especially the collapse on the last lap of some speaks for itself. In the men's race it was a bit better, but Sturla was simply a class of his own today, but that was already apparent in Kontiolahti and Otepää.

Sturla with win, finally
