Tomorrow the most exciting thing about the men's race will be the battle for the mass start globe (even though there could have no suspense very early in the race)

 

Well it's already over

Wierer basically saying she's gonna make up for months without her partner in the hotel room tonight

They better have some good sound isolation.

 

 

 

 

however, her husband is part of the staff of the Italian team...

so, it's not that they haven't been together since a long time ago...

Oh that's pretty cool. Still I'm surprised by her way of saying it

So, next season, who's gonna fight for the overall win?  

 

Wierer

Vittozzi

Eckhoff

Dahlmeier

Herrmann

Öberg

Roeiseland

Egan

 

Quite some potential.

 

if Dahlmeier takes it seriously from the beginning to the end of the season, there's no way she's gonna be beaten...

 

if she leaves some space to the others (like this year), well, my bet is on Oeberg more than anybody else...and I wouldn't rule Davidova out...she could/shoul be the next star of this game...

maybe she has self-imposed some kind of a break to the extra-curricular activities in this season's finale to save some energy and now she feels she wants to make up for that...

Well so no Wierer fighting for the next overall World Cup.

Congratulations on the baby

This race needs a good old fashioned shooting meltdown from Johannes.

 

Finish the season in style, lad!

I don't get the anti-JTB sentiment around here. Sure, he dominated the whole season, but boohoo. Fourcade did the same thing for 8 long years. Not to mention how his dominance probably created someone like JTB in the first place.

I don't notice a lot of anti-JTB sentiment, just anti-boring races sentiment. We've had that with Fourcade a billion times and now it's the same thing (or worse). Nothing against JTB himself, he seems pretty cool.

I think it's pretty simple, I'd rather not a dominator to win, be it Fourcade, be it Boe. He won 15 times! Way too much.
