Uh - oh. How well is she shooting these days? I want to know how far away to stand...

Question for @heywoodu: If our former XC skier Lea Einfalt got 142,82 IBU points on Thursday in Idre, is that enough to put her in the team for World Cup in Pokljuka?

 

Problem is, among women, there are currently only two eligible athletes to compete in World Cup (Urška Poje, Polona Klemenčič), therefore we need another one to be represented on both Sunday mixed races.

No, that is not enough for her to be put in the team for Pokljuka. She can still get an automatic qualification if she goes under 125 in the next sprint that she can use for one world cup trimester.

 

I believe that if she does not go below 125 points needed for the AQ to the WC, then she can only start in Oberhof, if she has an average of below 150 with three of her best races.

 

PS: If she does not finish the sprint tomorrow with under 125, she's missing Pokljuka and Hochfilzen, but if she gets an under 125 in Ridnaun, she could still start in Nove Mesto. Other than that, 150 average from three races during a trimester for Oberhof.

OK, thank you so much. According to her 1st shoot (3 misses), that is probably not gonna happen, but maybe our youngster (Tais Vozelj) will come through with total of 3 misses, though chances are very slim.

 

So, it looks like tomorrow there will be no :SLO team at the start of Single Mixed Relay infront of home crowd, which is weird.

 

EDIT: Hey, maybe it will work, Lea just fired all 5 in the stand, amazing :)

That was one of the most awesome bits of biathlon I have ever seen, that single mixed in Lillehammer :bowdown: 

 

Right up there with Lowell Bailey's world title.

It is really weird that suddenly they allow double starts. 

Suddenly? I'm pretty sure I saw the same thing last season (with Japan for example).

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
