  • 2 weeks later...

Natalija Kočergina and Gabrielė Leščinskaitė starting in the IBU cup tomorrow, to better their chances of qualifying into the Olympics.

 

The men's team pretty much what was expected, but Fomin isn't in it.

As ever, the million dollar question is if Crni has improved his shooting this year.

 

What am I really hoping for is one outstanding shooting performance to help the OQ.

I think he will need more than one. 
probably you will need 60 IBU qualifying points in average to get one of the spots .

Yeah, it could be seen that Leščinskaitė is looking better from pre-season races.

 

25th place with 2 misses and 33rd course time overall, this feels finally like a year where she is capable to fight for World Cup points yet again.

So good to see results on the IBU Datacenter, not sure if I like the new app yet, but it is still really early.  Good to see China back on the world stage.  One perfect shooting this morning and it was a Lativian, Inese Golubeva.  Congrats to starting out the season that way.  Nice showing by Megan Banks of Canada.  10th place.  US did ok, not sure why Chole Levens did not start, but Kelsey Dickinson missed one, and finished in 35th.  Hallie Grossman really struggled on the range with 7 misses.

It will be a very interesting season for us with Buta, Puchianu, Coltea and Shamaev we will have a good relay and there is a chance to qualify for Olympics. In the other hand i think Ushkina it’s a safe qualifier because we will not qualify for sure the women’s relay.

So lessons learned from the almost first week of the IBU CUP.  Germany and Norway have strong teams again.  But for seemingly different reasons.  Norway has such a strong team that top biathletes on other national teams would be on the WC, but Norway is so good they are on the IBU Cup.  If this continues, could we see someone like the Andersen brothers leave for another national team because of the backlog of talent at the top?  I am not saying them, but as an example.

 

Germany seems strong because they appear to have lots of biathletes who are around the same level, but a step below the elite one, if that makes any sense.

If they have two Andersen sisters as well, I would be the first to welcome them to the Lithuanian team. We need all the help we can get.

 

Men's team seems to be under control and having the form of their lives :p

    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
