Fantastic example of why IBU's pursuit rules are such an incredible waste for the sport.

That's 15 (!) athletes who could have started today due to withdrawals of athletes ahead of them. Damn.

Paul Schommer of the US has announced that the knee injury that kept him out of the first few weeks will be operated on soon.  He will be missing the remainder of the races, plus the US Championships.

Jake Brown of the US has been dealing with sickness for quite a while.  He will not be in the Czech Republic and the other two races are still up in the air.  WIth the World Juniors up ahead, I have no idea what US biathletes will be in Nova Mesto.

I think the timing of the three competitions this weekend could have been scheduled a little better.  Let me explain, when an WC or IBU Cup stop are in North America, there are always fewer who attend.  But combine that with the World Youth/Junior Championships also along way from central Europe and you get even fewer younger biathletes able to attend.  I love the spreading out of the races, but I think that this schedule did not permit the IBU Cup in Canmore to see a full field.

    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
