Biathlon 2018 - 2019 Discussion Thread

Okay... So, this season is going to be an extreme disaster for the Lithuanian women team. Can't go into much details, but the first two IBU cup sprints are pretty much going to shape if we're able to hold onto 3 spots, but I highly doubt it.

 

On the other hand, Lithuanian men team might look pretty okay and might even get into top 40 from time to time.

I'm watching the Sjusjoen men's sprint of last weekend, dominated by JTB. But in 24th place I see...yeah, Dag Sander Bjorndalen! The 48-year old brother of youknowwho, team world champion in 1995, who apparently is still active :yikes: 

 

Edit: never mind, it's probably more realistic that this is the 20-year old with the exact same name.

There are Chinese media reports:

 

The opening of the Norwegian Biathlon League, hosted by the Norwegian Biathlon Association, took place at the Sjusjoen ski base in Norway from November 23rd to 25th. As a traditional strong country in biathlon, Norway has a high level of league competition. This competition is the opening game of the 18-19 season. The Norwegian national team, the German national team, the Belgian national team, the Ukrainian national team and other world first-line teams participated in the competition. A number of Olympic champions and World Cup champions including Norwegian star BØ Johannes Thingnes also appeared. The Chinese biathlon national training team trained here was invited to participate in this competition. Five men and women athletes were sent to participate in the sprint and mass start competitions. The purpose of this competition is to test the results of the previous snow training and warm up the training for the first race of the IBU Cup.

 

Can anyone find detailed results?

No, not before the Norwegian cup start this weekend, but I think Chinese biathletes will compete in the IBU Cup mostly. This event was just a warm up event before the start of the World Cup and IBU Cup this weekend.

Thank you very much, Chinese athletes will participate in the IBU Cup and World Cup this weekend. I don't understand Norwegian, thank you very much for providing detailed results.

According to someone on the Realbiathlon forum, there's good news about a compromise between the Fialkova sisters and the Slovak federation.

Yep, right.

 

After more than a 11 hours meeting held in the Slovak Olympic Comittee headquarters, both sisters finally signed the new deal around 21:30 yesterday. The national federation decided to accept some requests of both sisters, they in response accepted also some points of the national federation..that´s what I call making compromises...but, why it had to arrive untill this ?..

 

btw the greatest merit that, this negotiation about the new formuled contract has even been possible, go to the minister of defense and the Minister of Education, Sciences and Sports, both present there yesterday as well, just like some mediators from our NOC.

 

So, they will both compete already in Pokljuka´s Mixed relay as Slovak females legs.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
