Biathlon IBU World Cup 2018 - 2019

@Monzanator Have you read anywhere why Zuk didn't start in the pursuit at the junior worlds, where she had a rather realistic medal chance after her sprint? I'd think it has something to do with going to Canmore for the World Cup, but on the other hand, the 1-2 hours of travel time one loses by participating in the pursuit shouldn't make much of a difference.

Yeah, it was because of Canmore. They wanted a day off in Canada after spending like 36 hrs to travel there from Slovakia (including two plane flights).

It snowed last night in the majority of Utah, slow driving today. Scenery is amazing though. Definitely can see why an Olympics was here

Wierer 3 misses on the first prone

Awesome race for Tomingas so far

You've probably jinxed her now

Hildebrand's race to lose but she needs 5/5. Vittozzi will probably take the overall lead after this race.

Hildebrand gets clowned by Herrmann on ski speed (expected but still...)

Hojnisz 7th & Zuk 8th which is a very good result. I'm shocked Zuk hit 10/10 in the stands. Wierer with the second fastest skiing time but 5 misses means Vittozzi takes the overall lead. Tomingas ties her PB from yesterday in 14th.
