Biathlon 2018 - 2019 Discussion Thread

Apparently I was wrong, looking at the SMR/mixed days of last season. I guess it was only allowed in the IBU Cup then.

 

Strange that it wouldn't be allowed in the World Cup, one would expect a federation wanting the strongest athletes in most races.

I could have sworn that I heard a Eurosport commentator talking about someone doubling up. It's not just you :d

And I could swear I actually saw it in start lists, but I think that was only in the IBU Cup (where it did happen) :p 

 

There's a realistic chance of Brazil doubling up this season, so good thing it's allowed :d

I strictly remembered it was a female, so I wasn't looking at the men too much, so that's why I missed Ermits :d

 

Had a hunch it was the Baltics, but looked at most of the struggling countries :d

Talking about relay compositions, I'm really annoyed there are no mixed (nation) teams anymore, like in the days before the IBU Cup. It'd be fun to see a Brazilian mixed relay team compete against a South American mixed relay team (Ceci Dominguez/Claudia Salcedo + Juan Agurto/a 3rd Brazilian/a new Argentinian).

    • 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:
