3 Russian girls entered our junior team. Their coach wanted to work for Belarus but something screwed up there (Belarusians didn't want to anger Russians?) so they settled in Ukraine. Their parents are Ukrainians so all 3 are in the process of receiving our citizenship.

 

They're taking part in our National Junior Championships this week, wearing Ukrainian uniform and representing Kyiv region.

 

Anastasia Rasskazova (20 yo) - she used to be #16 at the recent IBU Junior Cup. She's 11th in the Russian Junior ranking.

Quarantine: December 16, 2019.

Yekaterina Bekh (19 yo) - she was 32nd and 65th at the Cup. Horrible shooting but... it seems she has worked on it)) She's already got 2 gold medals at our Junior Championships while Rasskazova was 4th. Quarantine: December 15, 2018.

She's so gorgeous... after that car crash when she burnt & injured her face and body((( She went through several surgeries, broke up with Tyshchenko who drove that car, moved to Moldova with her dad... and now she's back.

Sweden’s Olympic biathlon champion Peppe Femling was injured in a freak accident when one of his ski poles went through his calf muscle as he dived to avoid a car ahead of a competition on Thursday. The 26-year-old, who was part of the Swedish relay team that sensationally won a gold medal at this year’s Pyeongchang Games, was warming up for a roller-ski event in Lysebotn in Norway when he had to jump into a ditch to avoid colliding with the car.

 

He was airlifted to hospital where the ski pole was removed from his calf. “The pole stuck out one metre the other side,” coach Johan Haeggstroem told news agency TT, adding that Femling was in good spirits following a successful operation.

Oh well, Rastorgujevs made the final of a purely shooting competition where Hanna Öberg was eliminated. I am not taking this seriously anymore :d

FINALLY some actually Brazilian looking clothes :hearts: :woohoo::hyper: Ok, not the competition outfit yet if I'm not mistaken, but still, this is a big improvement already on the incredibly dull white suits with some green accents. Come on people, you're an exotic nation in winter sports, have exotic suits to show for it!

The South American biathlon championships in Bariloche (Argentina) have been opened today in fitting style: athletes are staying at the local military base and the opening was apparently done in full military style, including the athletes having to march in the 'right' way and everything :d Photos have been made and will probably be available later this week, so hold on for that :p 

 

Now, there have been some snow problems, meaning that so far, the only confirmed race of the South American biathlon championships is......a cross-country skiing race tomorrow :lol: The course for that is alright, the biathlon lap is not yet

 

There is hope for snow tomorrow though, meaning maybe there'll be biathlon on Thursday and Friday :)

    • Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
