Biathlon 2022 - 2023 Discussion Thread

@Monzanatoris it a funding issue, personalities, what seems to be the problem?

Kowalczyk came into biathlon after Zbigniew Waskiewicz was voted as the President of the PZB in 2020. However he didn't receive a vote of confidence in June 2022 and Joanna Badacz was voted as the new President one month later. She is basically a puppet of former head coach/sporting director Adam Kolodziejczyk who is now a member of the board. Nothing associated with Kolodziejczyk is any good at this stage. It wasn't any good for years before. Sadly biathlon suffers from lack of fresh blood - like many winter sports - and there's no way to get rid of this guy once and for all. The new board also prevented Darya Dolidovich from training with the Polish national team. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for Kowalczyk.

Here is a little more info about the Polish situation.

 

Also, there is some more info on the RBU election. 

Article 1 - "The head of the Biathlon Federation of Transbaikalia says that Tikhonov persuaded him to vote for Maigurov"

Article 2 - "Transbaikalia sports minister denied accusations of pressure on local biathlon federation and orders to vote for Maigurov"

Article 3 - "The accreditation of the regional biathlon federation was suspended in Transbaikalia"

Looks like Campbell Wright of NZ enjoyed the Junior WC so much that he is back!  Also good to see Geraghty-Moats shoot well.

Geraghty-Moats is trying in her third sport now? I wonder what will be the fourth? Bobsleigh? :lol:

She has been around biathlon for a few years though.

She started in ski jumping, hurt herself in her teens.  Switched to biathlon and did quite well at the youth level.  Switched back to jumping, joined nordic combined, did very well, and then switched back to biathlon last season.  Lots of her frustration with Nordic Combined dealt with the way the IOC treaded the women in Nordic Combined.  

 

She should be on the IBU Cup this season for the US.
