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

I know this time of year not everyone will be close to being at the same level of fitness, but still, Karlsson coming in and doing this even for an exhibition race isn't much of a great sign for biathlon :lol:

Not really :dbut Elvira was about  1 minute behind Karlsson in a 7.5km race (not sure if that is à good or bad sign) the day before. But she managed to beat Maja Dahlqvist (who may not be the best individual distansen racer) etc.

Natalya Mekryukov has left Russian Nordic to join the Russian Biathlon Team.

 

Ole Einar Björndalen thinks he is out of a job as the Chinese Biathlon officials have not spoken to him since he submitted a written report in March.

Thomas Bormolini has announced that he is retiring.  This was a surprise, but there was speculation that he might when he was not listed in the team earlier this week.

there were already rumors about that before the season ended, just after the Olympics...

 

I wish him all the best, even if it hurts a lot our team losing him and Dominik Windisch all at once just before the beginning of the home Olympics 4-year cycle...

On the flip side, it gives a definite 4 year plan for three of this group really move to the forefront.  It will be interesting to see if they will keep the 5 slots after this season with both Windisch and Bormolini out.

    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:

    • Mykolas and Rūta are athletes of the year,no surprises there.
    • what the heck ? how are some rowers who placed 5th at worlds more of a breakthrough of the year then Tajus Juška ? ,especially after the season that he had ? i need to know who actually voted for them,this is utterly stupid. 
    • There are only 2 months left, so it will be hard But Mattarella - the president of Italy is a big volleyball fan, so maybe somehow it will work very speed?   https://www.oasport.it/2025/12/il-fenomeno-noumory-keita-giochera-per-litalia-richiesta-la-cittadinanza-ma-ce-lo-scoglio-del-nuovo-regolamento/
