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

I don't think there is a need to announce every single result change after exchanges and shooting, because everybody has the live results available to them.

It sure is tough to lose by 1 second, especially if you shoot 0+4, while the winner shoots 1+9, but in the end it's another sign for the improved depth of Germany at this level. It has to be mentioned though that Germany had two guys born in 1998 and two guys born in 1999, while Russia had two guys born in 1998 and two guys born in 1997, so on average the german relay was 1 whole year younger, which is a lot at this level in my opinion. All the german guys will be able to compete again next year, so with a normal development they should be the clear cut favorites next year.

Quite surprising for me that neither France nor Norway made the podium.

So, since we sparked the discussion, I thought I would look this up for funsies:

 

How many junior category medalists we actually lost in Biathlon since 2009/10 season

 

2010

Yann Guigonnet (France) - individual gold (quit in 2015)

Michael Galassi (Italy) - individual silver (quit in 2013)

Tom Barth (Germany) - individual bronze, sprint bronze (quit in 2013)

Reka Forika (Romania) - individual gold (quit in 2016)

Leslie Mercier (France) - individual bronze) (quit in 2011)

Evgeny Petrov (Russia) - sprint gold, pursuit bronze (quit in 2011)

Manuel Muller (Germany) - sprint silver, pursuit gold (quit in 2011)

Sophie Boilley (France) - sprint silver, pursuit gold (quit in 2015)

Vladimir Alenishko (Russia) - pursuit silver (quit in 2014)

Nastassia Kalina (Russia) - pursuit silver (quit in 2015)

2011

Aleksandra Alikina (Russia) - sprint silver, pursuit silver (quit in 2013)

Tom Barth (Germany) - sprint gold, pursuit bronze (quit in 2013)

Ludwig Ehrhart (France) - sprint bronze, pursuit silver (quit in 2012)

Nikolay Yakushov (Russia) - individual bronze (quit in 2012)

Florie Vigneron (France) - individual bronze (quit in 2011)

2012

Elena Badanina (Russia) - individual bronze (quit in 2013)

Kurtis Wenzel (Canada) - individual gold (quit in 2013)

Marius Hol (Norway) - individual silver (quit in 2012)

Elena Ankudinova (Russia) - sprint gold (quit in 2015)

2013

Dino Butkovic (Croatia) - individual silver (quit in 2014)

2014

Jarle Gjoerven (Norway) - pursuit silver (quit in 2014)

Dany Chavoutier (France) - individual bronze (quit in 2014)

2015

Aleksandr Dediukhin (Russia) - individual silver, sprint gold (quit in 2015)

Vemund Gurigard (Norway) - individual bronze, sprint silver (quit in 2015)

Lena Arnaud (France) - sprint gold (quit in 2018)

2016

Susanna Kurzthaler (Austria) - individual gold (quit in 2016)

Andrea Baretto (Italy) - individual silver (quit in 2017)

2017

Nikita Lobastov (Russia) - individual bronze (quit in 2018)

Kirill Streltsov (Russia) - sprint silver (quit in 2018)

2018

Sturla Laegreid (Norway) - individual silver (quit in 2018)

Sverre Aspenes (Norway) - sprint bronze, pursuit gold (quit in 2018)

 

A lot of these cases, the juniors dropped the sport mostly after the junior championships, some of them trying a couple of IBU races. A lot of Russians and Norwegians, I think some might have quit since it's very hard making the team and most of others left the sport, because it was their hobby and they did not want that as a career after university. Lastly, a lot of them are medalists from the individual race. Sidenote: Tom Barth looked like he had a lot of potential.

 

 

 

I think biathlon is one of the sports where the age of breakthrough is the highest (especially on the men's side), alongside bob, luge, equestrian, triathlon and a couple of other sports. Therefore i am not too surprised that there are fewer athletes than in most other sports that can translate their success at junior level to the senior level.

All of this makes you realize how special a talent J. Boe is/was, i am not sure whether we have ever seen a talent like him before in this sport.

Well, I think Dahlmeier is also a major talent, although she's being held back by a lot of illnesses.

 

On the men's side, it's difficult to make a breakthrough when there's only the bronze spot on the podium left for endless amount of years :d It's nearly two years since a German male biathlete had a victory, the last one in March 2017 by Peiffer, when both Fourcade and Boe missed the podium. (Just in case, I decided to not count Olympics in, since it's not considered world cup status)

Dahlmeier is the best female talent we have seen in a long time (probably since Neuner), but she is not on the level of Boe. I am bit confused by your other point though, didn't Peiffer win gold at the olympics in 2018?

Yeah, I edited later to mention that I am not counting Olympics, since it's not a World Cup affair.

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Simulation

      By avlar · Posted

      I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?

      And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.

      Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.

      If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?

      Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      By avlar · Posted

      We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.

      AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
