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.

For those who understand Russian.

And for the rest of us there's always Google Translate...

  • 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?

    • There will be specialized double sculls...just not for an NOC if it is entering singles specialists.   Either enter 2 singles specialists, or 1 XD specialist pair.   But they can in theory compete in both events, I guess, if they qualify...our top M, I think, does both.   But there are 17M, 17W, and 30 Pairs allotted in the quota, so I don't think the intent is that every singles entry will be in doubles.   (Perhaps this gets to fall in line with Weightlifting, where due to max entry quota, an NOC can't enter in every event, even if they have the best athletes...here, unless you have a pair who qualifies in both.)

    • I read the Olympic qualification documents for weightlifting. A country can have the opportunity to send a maximum of 4 athletes in one gender, but the conditions are very strict.
    • world champion Jessica Schilder opened her season up with 19.78 in France.
    • wait! what???   so, there won't be specialized double sculls, but those boats would have to feature 2 single specialists if a Nation wants to enter 2 proper singles M+W??? tell me I misread the expalaination...
    • Yeah, they do get broadcast pretty regularly.  I remember even back in Bode Miller's day they would show the training.
