 Nah, Skorusa's hobbies take too much of his time to learn a new language. "Girl" is not just a thing you do every Tuesday night. It's a much more time-consuming hobby... (or that is what I have heard.)

I’m dying, hahaha. Need to look at more of these. And I thought ‘Skull Collection’ was bad

Hold on a minute, Skorusa has a specific girl as hobby. That could either be his girlfriend or, judging by the 'single', someone he's stalking.

Greetings all.  Glad to have finally found an active forum that discusses biathlon.  It is hard to find that here in the USA, especially in the South where I live.  I look forward to learning a lot fr

Amazing results for Germany so far (compared to the last few years).

 

- Youth men's 12,5 km individual: "Only" a 5th place for Köllner, but a good track time and he is young enough to return next year.

Overall: Amazing to see Switzerland doing great on the men's side for a change, Kazakhstan continues their rise, very encouraging results for Slovenia (two guys in the top 8), very surprising that no russian or french athlete finished top 10.

 

- Youth women's 10 km individual: The worst result for Germany here so far (8th place), but amazing track time for Hermann and even with 1 miss she could have won this race, so very encouraging result for her.

Overall: Very refreshing podium, Finland doing great on both sides, the Czech Republic is doing amazing work on the women's side, a bit surprised that no norwegian girl finished top 10, also good depth for Italy on the women's side.

 

- Junior men's 15 km individual: Amazing result for Germany, 3rd, 4th and 9th. I don't remember ever seeing such a depth for Germany on the men's side in a junior competition. In addition to that insane track time for Riethmüller (and Grotian) who is young enough to return next year.

Overall: Kazakhstan again with a top 10 result and 2 swiss guys in the top 10 as well, but no russian guy!

 

- Junior women's 12,5 km individual: Another amazing result for Germany, 2nd, 3rd and 9th. Very encouraging, especially because Frühwirth is young enough to return next year and Pfnuer can compete 2 more years at this level!

Overall: Another good result for Italy, they have the depth but weren't lucky enough to win a medal so far. Another disappointing result for the french girls (in my mind they used to win tons of medals at this level?), don't know what to think about the chinese girl (China used to be pretty good on the women's side, this is probably their best shot to revive their women's biathlon in time for the 2022 olympics), Zuk must have had an insane track time!

I am not sure whether i should consider youth or junior results more "important". What do you guys think (which results would you put more emphasis on if you had to choose)?

On the one hand junior results are probably more likely to translate, but on the other hand youth results are more important long term and there is always the possibility that some of the best juniors are already good enough to compete in the world cup and therefore don't compete here, making the junior results less "valuable".

Great question.  I see a similar thing with soccer.  U 17 World Cup is a better representation than the U20 World Cup.  By the U20s, there are many players that are already on their National Teams.  They do not compete in the U20s.  The Youth see a similar situation.  Now the Jr's are also more prone to really good days, and really bad days.  One of the challenges that Jr's face is how to make the bad days not that bad.  Or in other words, how to minimize the damage when things are not going right.  This takes time and experience.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
