232,67, FUCK YEAH

 

Gabi is well on the 300's though...this would be really sad if it means her biathlon season is now over :cry:

Last year the SuperSprint Q (Khanty-Mansiysk) didn't give points, so that changed for this season but apparently not all teams were told..

 

at least Bruna is in. That´s really unfortunate for Gabi in the other hand, but maybe IBU can repechage them somehow if they ask them that they didn´t knew about the rule change ?

Some photos from the women's pursuit in Arber, just because. At the individual and sprint I was near the shooting range, a bit too far away for photos, during the pursuit I was at the course.

I hope so...I just got confirmation that they indeed did not know anything about this race being a points-race, I wonder if the Brazilian and Australian federations (they share Luca Bormolini as coach) were even told about this change. If not, this is madness.

Woah, a very good run for Rastic and Serbia :yes Chinese men's team also improving pretty quickly. Lastly, nice to see Romanov shooting clean again and beating our other two biathletes :d The only reason why Romanov is in IBU is pretty much that Banys wants to race in the junior cup :p

Rastic was great in shooting but running so-so. But after a long time Serbia has solid result at least in IBU Cup. Few seasons ago Petrovic was able to win points in World Cup. Now he's competing again. Not as successfully.

Well, it takes some time to get back into shooting form, especially when you weren't a very solid shot to begin with. Plus the skiing is a bit different from cc as well and we can see that with Herrmann or Aymonier when they both struggle to produce good ski speeds when they've shown they're capable of being top 5 on track and matching Makarainen.

Yes,offcourse. :yes

Beside them 2,i saw some regular WC participants,Simon Fourcade was there so when those biathletes are struggling to some extent,what Rastic or Petrovic could expect. Nevertheless,i have never seen flawless shooting of Serbian biathletes. Even in that "golden era" few years ago.

Simon Fourcade is an interesting case, but I think his problems are mainly psychological and his younger brother's legendary run might have damaged his confidence, performance and pride.

S Fourcade is doing very well this season in the IBU Cup, but the French young guys in the World Cup are doing pretty good too so it might not help him that much...I think Simon's time is over (which considering his age is nothing to be ashamed of) :p

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      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.
