JonPhi 246 Posted June 21, 2022 #63 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Some shocking news to me: • the IBU World Championships will no longer be included in the World Cup Total Score. Thus, there are no more World Cup points collected at World Championship events. This is in line with IBU’s general direction to make the World Championships a stand-alone flagship event • there will be no more dropped results in the World Cup Total Score. Every competition in the World Cup will count toward the Total Score • the point system for the Total Score and the Discipline Scores will be adjusted to increase the value between the top results ensuring that if athletes are forced to miss a race due to sickness they will still have the possibility of being able to win the Crystal Globes https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/carlsson-2022-biathlon-rules/7zLHlnECP6Ggp3VxDf1HQp Ted and Werloc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we're not a medal winning nation, the World Championships are going to be reduced to funding games for us, which is sad, because we usually got quite a few world cup points since we were timing our form for the championships every year. Now, those rare top 20s won't feel that much special without any points behind them. RobtheAggie and FireRun 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the world championships no longer counting for the World Cup is fantastic. It's the world championships, after all, one fights for world titles there and for World Cup points in World Cup races.

RobtheAggie 337 Posted June 29, 2022 #69 Share Posted June 29, 2022 So with the failure of Norway to even submit a bid for the 2027 World Championships, it looks like both Boe's will retire at the latest by 2026. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
