Because it sounded like everything was terrible and horribly bad and everything, when in fact she's having a really awesome World Cup week.

oh, she definitely has a great week, but with better shooting it would be already even better week with 2 possible podiums

I meant for Ivona. Paulina had this week as her only chance and is now doomed to wait until next season.

Paulína after 3rd fastest skiing time in Thursdays Individual had 2nd fastest skiing time today only 30 seconds behind Air-Kaisa !!! Nastya (6th skiing time in Individual) 8th today. This is just amazing... Ivona was really fast in the first half of the race untill the bad 2nd shooting, very very good skiing from our girls so far

 

Pity for Paulína, she lost the podium today in the second shooting, she lost her rhythm and had spent 36 seconds in her standing shooting, around 10-12 seconds that would be enough for the podium today even with that penalty loop...but yes, still amazing start of the season for her, we knew she was one of our biggest sports talent and it was just a matter of time when she will finally be able to start convincing also the world about it, hopefully this will be the breakthrough season..

 

Nastya is looking good...she never had briliant seasons starts and usually never achieved so fast skiing times at the first seasons races, that´s a really good sign, we have to remember that her main goal is the World Championship and she is peaking for Ostersund this season. Her biggest troubles so far is shooting, in particular the very last one, today she missed the last target for the 3rd time this season (from 6 shootings)...

 

Ivona had a great start too, very fast just like her sister (she was even faster than Paulína in the first lap), unfortunately 3 misses were too much today and the weekend is over for her. Poliaková with one of her best results in a while but still with 0+0 thanks her super slow skiing it was only 64th place and thus no pursuit for her as well

Germany is shit without Dahlmeier, no talents. Preuß never even realized 50 % of her potential.

Fialkova's performances so far are very worrying. Quite interesting that out of all countries SLOVAKIA is producing two athletes who are that fast in cross-country. We know the reason for Kuzmina's superhuman performances, i think it is very likely that Fialkova is using the same methods as Kuzmina.

Right because only Western & Nordic countries can thrive in biathlon? I wonder why you don't throw Czech Republic under the bus? It's basically the same country under old political rules. And Hojnisz getting 2nd place is also VERY suspicious. How come a woman from Poland can be ranked 2nd in World Cup? That screams 'suspicious methods' too!
