Officialy, Biathlon World Team Challenge 2018 will be the last race for Shipulin.

This could also be a Couple Challenge for Domracheva/Bjorndalen. If one of them doesn't perform well here, who knows if they will still be a couple on Sunday?

Because WTC is that important?

It's Biathlon! What is more important than that? 

 

 It seems they take it quite serious.

The World Team Challenge is a commercial biathlon competition, which is held every year after Christmas since 2002 in Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen. This edition might be particularly interesting to biathlon fans as three recently retired biathlon legends will participate, including Anton Shipulin, Darya Domracheva and Ole Einar Bjørndalen.

 

Teams:

 

Yurlova-Percht / Shipulin

I Preuss/Schempp

II Hermann/Doll

Domracheva / Bjørndalen

Dzhyma / Pryma

Wierer / Hofer

Tachizaki / Tachizak

Hauser / Landertinger

Bescond / Jacquelin

Vitkova / Krčmár

Well, putting Shipulin in a list of legends with OEB and Domracheva might be a bit too much  But yeah I agree, it'll be interesting

[Werloc 3,176]

Dislike. Could have used more couples

 

Honestly, really a missed opportunity to have Kuzmina/Shipulin, what a send off would that be for Shipulin.

 

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Ole can't keep up, but Darya pulls them ahead in every lap. If they finish third, amazing.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Wow!

 

Got a bit excited there with the prospect of Darya/Bjoerndalen win, but still, managed to get to 3rd is great. Didn't think it can be done. Nice race.
