Nice save. :p

For the other one I'll go cheer as, officially, part of the Brazilian team next week since it's 99% sure my accreditation* will work out :evil:

 

*I will officially be Brazil's wax technician :d

Anyways, forgot to mention throughout my many troubles, Diana Rasimovičiūtė has oficially retired. One of the most successful Lithuanian winter athletes and the most successful when it comes to Biathlon. She was literally the face of our biathlon for a good decade at least and hats off to her, because she's the reason we have a team today. It's a bit disappointing knowing how much potential she had, Makarainen, Domracheva, Ekholm, Berger were behind her in ski speed at times, but I guess that's just shows how structure & funding are majorly important in a sport such as this.

Oh oh. Just remember that I don't mean it literally when I wonder if someone used gravel for waxing. :zip:

Yeah I'll also try and forget the metaphore we sometimes use in the Netherlands when someone has bad skis...

 

Spoiler

"Did they put dog shit under their skis?"

I don't know why? :whistle: but for a short while I thought you were going to have some Brazilian waxing...:roflmao:

I must have taken 1 or 2 glasses of wine too many at dinner, I fear...:rofl:

Yeah I'm not sure if I heard "You want to be Brazil's wax technician?" or "You want to be the Brazilian wax technician?". It's a matter of waiting and seeing next week, I guess :p

Brilliant from Loginov, but Johannes is 5 of 5 so far too. 

 

Boe 9 of 10, +14.2 seconds behind, can he catch him?

 

Guess no, he can't. Smashing race from Russian, fast on skis, fast on range and precise.

 

Two new winners in two days? Nice.

Loginov was smart catching up to Fourcade after his first shooting, and letting him do most of the job in second lap - which he had to, as he missed once.

 

I think Fourcade had a nice race, missed one, yeah, but still quite fast. Not like top two, but best of the rest.

Ah, come on, Peiffer! Last shot....and what a miss at that!

 

 

This looks promising for Samuelsson, chance for second? 

 

Very nice from Doll, provisional third place, ahead of Fourcade for 10+ seconds with the same number of misses.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
