Only if Crnković stays 36th.

He placed 37th in Oberhof sprint (2016/17). That was a massive outlier.

doesn't he want to race for Slovakia ?

Kind of like Chardine Sloof's out of the blue top-20 weekend (in Oberhof too I think?), preceded and followed by nothing similar at all

And to make matters even weirder, unlike today, the previous PB wasn't even with clean shooting. It was with 1+1.

Yeah he does not seem to be his best running form (yet) but shooting is the crucial part with him. Let’s hope today is a start to better shooting

60,11 Ibu points for Crnkovic 

i was hoping for less, but good step towards Beijing.

Sebastian Samuelsson!! 

So the likes of Swedes Ponsiluoma and Samuelsson, who appeared pretty much out of nowhere in recent years*, and are oftentimes WAY faster than guys like JTB, are by no means doped, whereas Norwegian X-country skiers always have to be suspicious (*not to mention young Elvira Oeberg, who is much faster than Eckhoff or Olsbu for instance). No offense but...how old are you, hun?

 

P.S.: I, for one, have never said/insinuated/suspected that the Oeberg sisters, Samuelsson, Ponsiluoma, Burman and the like use illegal means/substances.

Stage 1 in Ostersund (SWE)

 

Men´s 10km Sprint:

 

1. Sebastian Samuelsson    22:33.5 (0+0)

2. Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen    +11.8 (0+0)

3. Johannes Thingnes Boe    +12.2 (0+0)

Australia's Darcie Morton made her World Cup debut yesterday, but it ended up sort of dramatically disappointing. She fell and her rifle split (in length, even, not the side), so besides yesterday's DNF, she couldn't start today since that was her only rifle. I can only assume she was never given a second rifle because reasons (other than 'not enough money', because that's just not an issue), so that's sad....I had hoped for a nice debut.
