I know the field will include a lot of lesser known people, but I am looking forward to this weekend.

I still think a vast majority of the world's top-30 will be there.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I was at the US Championships last year in Soldier Hollow.  Pretty fun event. 

 

This picture gives a good indication for the range and penalty loop.  It is a little funky.  I am sure the Russian media and fans, who have not stopped about the horrors of Canmore will only have terrible things to say about another North American venue.  If you look in the middle of the picture, there is a little rise with flags on it, that is the entry to the range/finish area.  There is a very sharp right hand turn into the range, with the exit to the range coming back towards the right of the picture.  The entrance to the penalty loop is just off the range, so there will be some traffic in that congested area.  Elevation, plus some decent climbs will make for some good races.

No penalty loop in biathlon is as funky as the one in Bariloche in Argentina :p

(the blue line is where the penalty loop goes and yes, that's an uphill, followed by sort of a U-turn, a downhill and another U-turn to get back on the regular course)

What did Russians say about Canmore?

 

 

Terrible location, too cold, too small, unkind governmental officials, no fans, change of schedule, jet-lag, why them and not in Russia, etc.  There have be a few Russians Biathlon officials who have gone on record of being quite upset, and the fans have been very mad.  Part is I think they are hoping on the male side that Loganov can stay in 2nd place, and with the race cancelled, that was a chance to further the gap between him and Fourcade.

#5 Fialkova

#7 Kryuko

#8 Oeberg

#15 Dahlmeier

#18 Starykh

 So 23 of the top 30 will be racing.

    • I remember a couple of years during the athletics worlds in Oregon one of the British athletes wasn’t able to enter the US due to visa issues. I feel like something similar will happen in LA, and I don’t envisage Trump succumbing to an appeal to let an unfortunate athlete in.
    • thats true. If anyone observes the US election map then he can see that Harris dominated in NorthEast states and the Eastern Coast, exactly where the big economic centres are based (New York, New Jersey, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco etc).   Also what i observe regarding politics in western europe is that Socialdemocratic/centre-left parties have become extremely pro-market and even neo-liberal and some traditional right parties have become euroscepticist and protectionist, exactly the opposite as it was in 70s-80s
    • How about this?   "2026 Winter Olympics Cancelled after USA Withdraw After US President is Banned From Italy Due To His Criminal Convictions"  
    • Yeah, Trump is very pro-Olympics. I imagine he's pretty excited that he will get to open the games   Visas for some nations have always been tough and I do imagine some qualified individuals will fail to enter the United States (regardless who is President), but the IOC will likely sweep it under the rug.
    • This is reaching the climax now. If Khelif's lawyers take this to court then they have to believe they can win the case. If the case gets quietly dropped before it goes to court you can assume they have no confidence in winning
