Biathlon IBU World Cup 2018 - 2019

Good fighting for podium places at the end.

 

Fourcade > Doll (almost Peiffer soon after) > Samuelsson, and now with very fast shooting Eberhard is in play for it too. Top two appear safe...

 

Eberhard didn't make it on podium, but still finished in front of Fourcade. Maybe it wasn't that nice of a race for Martin as I thought.

It's sad to see Schempp can't even qualify for the pursuit. He is currently 64th.

Looks like a weekend from hell for Makarainen. First shot, three misses.

[Monzanator 4,499]

Vittozzi with 30 secs. lead and Wierer up to 2nd after the 3rd shoot!

[Monzanator 4,499]

Bescond and Wierer collide...

[Kirkpatrick 144]

One miss and could get interesting, but Vittozzi looks good.

 

5 of 5! But Kuzmina is close!

 

+14.3 for Kuzmina, 1.2 km left. hmmm.

 

+15.1 now, another win for Italian. Chevalier looks safe on third.

Poor day for them. But German girls did quite fine, Preuss in particular.

Pauina Fialkova gave even a bigger gift to the Italians - 32nd! Wierer might look sluggish lately but she hasn't had a truly off weekend yet.

I meant the colission,  without it I doubt Nastya would be able to finish on the podium with her shooting.

 

Paja abandoned the World Cup already during the xmass holidays, she announced that she is not going to the USA stage at all, with her team they will have a training camp at that time in Austria I think, in order to prepare for to the world champs. Not sure about Nastya, but she´ll miss the North American stages as well, the World Champs are the main goal of this season
