I swear Yeremin can win World Cups within 1-2 years if he has a decent skiing day and an extremely rare good shooting day.

So the "new" Julian Eberhard, Frode Andresen, Lars Berger and all former Norwegian cross-country skiers turnt biathletes.

Eckhoff is turning the opposite way around. Goes from biathlon to cross-country skiing. A medal at the Nordic WCH in sprint is not impossible.

Ugh, this reminds me of Gössner missing out on a world championships medal in the 10km freestyle by half a second and now I'm sad

Selection Race in Lenzerheide (even though we already know the ukrainian roster for Pokljuka, and that the Fialkova sisters will probably not compete there) : https://www.protiming.ch/img/protiming/uploads/files/2018/November/RanglisteDoBia.pdf

As for France, one man and one woman will be left stranded after tomorrow's race, danger for Simon Fourcade and Chloé Chevalier

Neureuther doesn't exist, I refuse to believe that. Besides, she was Gössner at that time

Her instagram is changed to miriamneureuther, so it's official . (But you are right, she was Gössner at that time.)

They are a cute couple.

This can't be correct, can it? Dahlmeier is registered for the Sesongstart of this week.

 As expected, Dahlmeier is not on tomorrow's start list.
