Young Taynara in her biathlon debut season. Well, oops. Still beat Croatia though (thanks to an 8 minute penalty for presumably missing 4 penalty laps, but that happens to the best I guess), @dcro 1-0.

Well, would you look at that. There's a 16 yo Andorran on the start list tomorrow :)

Teenage Andorrans, Brazilians (and even better, a girl, since there's a severe lack of them in the Brazilian XC/biathlon world) and Chileans making their debut this season, excellent stuff.

  • 3 weeks later...

how to turn one of the most beautiful days in the Italian Biathlon history in one of the saddest...:(

our young and promising athlete Hannes Breitenberger died earlier today at the age of just 18...:cry:

the circumstances of his death are still unclear (they first talked of a snowboard incident, but this has been denied)...

R.I.P. Hannes :cry:

The President of the Russian Biathlon Association Vladimir Drachev will address what he perceives as harassment of Alexander Loginov to the IBU.

The Russians are annoyed that there are constantly derogatory comments about Alexander Loginov who returned last season 

- We will talk about the harassment of Loginov with IBU, says Drachev to Russian Sport-Express.

 

Not even Team Sky is such a big cry baby.

It's great to see heywoodu is not the only Dutch person who follows biathlon passionately.

Do you know this guy, @heywoodu?

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
