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

Do you know this guy, @heywoodu?

Nope, but this biatlon.nl thing is from when former World Cup athlete and current Eurosport commentator Herbert Cool hosted a trip to Biathlon auf Schalke last month :d

Not sure where else to put this, The Canadian Winter Games start in about a week.  Quite a few events, including the Biathlon competition will stream live here - https://canadagames.live/

 

19 and 20 Feb for the events, at least that is as best as I can make it out.

:RUS Ekaterina Glayzrina is back! She finished 10th in her first event in Russia Cup.

 

I read a TASS article last month she wants to be back on the national team next season.

I hope the other Russian girls step up so that she doesn't make it :p

Junior Boys Sprint is over Cisar won shooting clean.  Viukhin missed 4 targets and was only 23.1 seconds behind.  That is so really fast skiing.

 

The US had all 4 in the top 60, not bad, and Cervenka shot clean and finished 10th.  6 shot clean.  

 

Tie for worst shooting goes to Josefsen of Greenland and Sytnyk of Ukraine, they both missed 8.    

 

De Santana of Brazil only had one miss!  Mikoliunas from Lithuania shot clean.  Both lacked the ski speed, but congrats to them.

He has been shooting very well this season :d (by the way, he has been living in Austria since his early youth, surely that helps)

I am looking forward to seeing  how Chloe Levins from the US does over the next two weeks.  She is the next big thing for US women's biathlon.  No remember that it is all relative :)

So much for seeing how Levins did, she DNS.  Mishkin from :AUS with only 1 miss!  Greenland's finest was doing well, but after the 2nd shoot, where she only had 1 miss, she pulled a DNF.  I wonder what happened?

 

Congrats to Lundstroem who won with a clean shoot.  Only 5 shot clean with Smerciakova missing 8.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
