Recommended Posts

Bhavani Thekkada Nanjunda who saw success at the Indian National Biathlon Championship is planning on competing in some FIS and IBU events this upcoming season.  The goal is to earn enough points to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics.  

 

The USBA has partnered with Horage to produce a USBA branded watch.  If you want to watch 52 min of two men talking about a watch, here you go.

Round-up of news stories

 

  • Austrian Julien Eberhard has officially retired.  The 35 year old only raced twice last season due to an injury sustained in Ostersund.  
  • Swiss Martin Jaeger has retired.    I wonder if his placement on the B-Team impacted this decision?  He was one of the biathletes that I enjoyed following.  One that could, on the right day, make things interesting.  The Swiss men's team next year will be much younger.  No Weger, no Jaeger, not Tamborino (still unsure about this one though).
  • French Junior biathlete Laura Boucaud has retired at age 21.  She won the 2000 World Junior Relay title, and was the Silver medalist in the European Championship Sprint.  She did not race since the Winter of 2020-2021 due to various health issues, mental and physical.  She gave an interview that is very interesting to read.
  • Johannes Dale will marry former biathlete Kristina Skjevdal.

In other news, it looks she decided to continue for at least the next season. 

 

Which does not look very good for her younger sister Ivona, who announced a, by her own words : "longer break" to reconsider if she will continue or end her career. What is sure we are not going to see Ivona next season and there sadly a big chance that also never anymore on the biathlon circuit as athlete. She is already established in the diplomatic sector, freshly elected as our NOC athletes commission member

Two interesting items:

1.  Sverre Olsbu Roeisland will be the new women's coach of Germany!  He is the husband of Marte.  That should make for some interesting discussions.  

2. German Nordic Skier Antonia Fraebel will start biathlon this year.

Wait what, Frida Karlsson is apparently able to hit 80% in the shooting? :yikes:

Yep and I don’t know how much she has ever practiced shooting. Never tried a biathlon competition anyway even at junior level. Would not want her to leave XC but by this result it looks like she is more of à talent in both skiing and shooting than Stina Nilsson:d

Also surprising even if it was à super sprint exhibition event, Skottheim won the final ahead of Elvira Öberg even when both shot 10/10.

    • Edin usually has mediocre seasons though (that being said this has been worse than usual), then really starts to show up for Worlds. He’s only won 4 GSOC events in his career.     They’re at a 4-2 record at the moment, so seems to be the case again. Plus, they played really well in their loss to Canada. 
    • I'm in tears, finally I have access after months. For some reason I can only enter the site from my phone. Surely it must be a problem with my home internet connection. 
    • With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have  pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as  Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in.
    • What a shame. That would have been amazing.
    • It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the  world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best.
    • So after finding this this morning     I started to search for more news about the date and ticket prices all over the world web !   I found this then       to just notice later that   it was April fools     so yeah, that was my day
    • Hope we’ll get  qualifying here, and then a combination of  at the OQE.
    • Elite League Playoffs   The Finals (Best-of-7 Series)   Storhamar Ishockey (1) vs Stavanger Oilers (3)
    • Elite League Playoffs   Semifinals Results (Best-of-7 Series)   Storhamar Ishockey (1) b. Vålerenga IF (4)  4-0 (2-0; 3-1; 11-0; 3-1)   Stavanger Oilers (3) b. IF Frisk Asker (2)  4-0 (6-0; 2-1; 3-2; 2-1)
