Good result for :BEL Tom Lahaye-Goffart in the individual in Obertilliach. :thumbup: His first 20/20 in his career. :yes  I wonder how many Belgian biathletes before him have shot a perfect 20/20 in the IBU Cup or World Cup? 

 

For sure Michael Rösch in his epic pursuit in Pokljuka (6th place) where his beard was full of slime and his face was full of tears of joy afterwards (and tears of sadness, because his former coach passed away a few days before and after many years* he finally got a real result again, it was so incredibly awesome to see a nice guy like Rösch be so happy, I watched that interview almost with tears).

 

* it was his first individual top-10 in the World Cup in 8 (!) years

 This interview:

 

He's saying stuff like "I know it's just a little 6th place, but for me it means so much" and after that "I know many wouldn't care so much about a 6th place, but it really means the world to me after all these years." 

 

"In the last lap I was thinking about my coach Klaus Siebert, who passed away. I always told him 'some day, somewhere I'm going to have one more great race again', today I had a perfect one. In the last lap I was already crying, this is for you Klaus, and for Bernd ('who made my ... (rifle maybe?)'), they both died.  I have so much to thank my family and friends for, and the Belgian and Swiss* teams, who always supported me without any doubt."

 

Two years later and I still almost can't watch this with dry eyes :d Rösch :woohoo: 

 

*he trains a ton with beard bro Weger

Spoiler

In reality I'm hoping for a great result from both of them, Poliakova had a horrorshow at the individual so she deserves something awesome

No such race in World Cup though. Would like to see it, peaked my interest.

It does sound a lot more interesting than mass start 60 or something.

Ok, this is problematic....Bruna didn't participate in any individual/sprint so far this season, because she's only gonna do that in the 2nd trimester where there are way more chances to get under 250 IBU points and qualify for the 3rd trimester. Competing in the relays and SuperSprint was no problem, because they wouldn't give IBU qualifying points.....and now apparently the SuperSprint qualifying does, and if she didn't get under 250 just now, her biathlon season might suddenly be over because someone said "no, SuperSprint qualifying gives no points" when in fact it does..

Yep...I specifically remember how during August/September this was all planned out. They'd only compete non-points races in trimester 1, specifically to focus 100% on points races (individuals + sprints) in trimester 2 so they could qualify for trimester 3 (because in trimester 1 there were less chances with Idre being too expensive for them to go to). Now I'm freaking out and F5'ing biathlonresults like a madman waiting for the points PDF. I'm 99,99% sure Gabi didn't make the 250 points cut so her season might be over in terms of biathlon (which is definitely her main thing)...as for Bruna's chances I'm at 50/50 with her result..

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..

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
