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 knew it had to be either Japan, Estonia, Romania, Slovenia or us :p

I looked at Japan's husband/wife couple and Poland :p 

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).
