Uh - oh. How well is she shooting these days? I want to know how far away to stand...

Question for @heywoodu: If our former XC skier Lea Einfalt got 142,82 IBU points on Thursday in Idre, is that enough to put her in the team for World Cup in Pokljuka?

 

Problem is, among women, there are currently only two eligible athletes to compete in World Cup (Urška Poje, Polona Klemenčič), therefore we need another one to be represented on both Sunday mixed races.

No, that is not enough for her to be put in the team for Pokljuka. She can still get an automatic qualification if she goes under 125 in the next sprint that she can use for one world cup trimester.

 

I believe that if she does not go below 125 points needed for the AQ to the WC, then she can only start in Oberhof, if she has an average of below 150 with three of her best races.

 

PS: If she does not finish the sprint tomorrow with under 125, she's missing Pokljuka and Hochfilzen, but if she gets an under 125 in Ridnaun, she could still start in Nove Mesto. Other than that, 150 average from three races during a trimester for Oberhof.

OK, thank you so much. According to her 1st shoot (3 misses), that is probably not gonna happen, but maybe our youngster (Tais Vozelj) will come through with total of 3 misses, though chances are very slim.

 

So, it looks like tomorrow there will be no :SLO team at the start of Single Mixed Relay infront of home crowd, which is weird.

 

EDIT: Hey, maybe it will work, Lea just fired all 5 in the stand, amazing :)

 YOG champion Zhu

That was one of the most awesome bits of biathlon I have ever seen, that single mixed in Lillehammer :bowdown: 

 

Right up there with Lowell Bailey's world title.

It is really weird that suddenly they allow double starts. 

Suddenly? I'm pretty sure I saw the same thing last season (with Japan for example).

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
