Ugh, another 1-6 for Russia. This time in the women’s 7.5km sprint. I remember when Biathlon used to be exciting. Hopefully the World Championships are more competitive. Even then it’s been a pretty dominate season for some...

Apparently it’s the first time since 1999 that the women’s 7.5km Sprint has been swept. It was Slovakia who swept it in 1999 @hckosice

Yep we had the strongest Slovak Biathon generation ever competing there. Martina Halinárová (Jašicová then Schwarzbacherová then again Jašicová and now Halinárová), Martina Paukovčeková, Soňa Mihoková and Anna Murínová (nowadays Fialková sisters coach) were on their way for a certain and "easy" Olympic gold in Nagano but Paukovčeková missed up totally the 3rd leg standing shooting and f...d up our big lead,we finished 4th. remember 3 girls finished in 1998 Nagano Sprint top 10.

 

Hopefully we will have such generation one day again

Australian in cross country. YES!

Real talk though, Australia’s cross country program is honestly respectable right now. There’s some talent amongst their ranks

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
