She stated herself that she is not planning to have a long sports career. She was dubbed the new Neuner and is already planning a Neuner-ish exit.

I'm already positively surprised she's still here after Pyeongchang

She needs two more overall crystal globes and then she's done

Really waiting for tomorrow. Another four additional athletes starting for Lithuania that were kept away from the individual race due to their age. So we're starting 4 boys and 2 girls.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Fomin went out third after shooting 2 for Lithuania.

 

That happened

Okay, this is historically the most successful Youth & Junior championship for us

 

We have Maksim Fomin 0+0 at 7th!

Gytis Mikoliūnas 0+0 at 31st (this is also his first individual ibu race, after a start in the youth relay a couple of days ago)

and even Jokūbas Mačkinė snuck into the pursuit race at 57th with 33rd ski speed.

 

This brings me a lot of joy, time to get disappointed by our girls in two hours

And here we invite our local @justony to talk with us today and comment on how does it feel when Slovenia gets gold and silver in the sprint race?

One is Faster

One is a Palm

And the other one is a Perv

Not a great day for the US, 2 qualified in the YB for the pursuit, and only 1 for the for the YG.   Finland had a great day as well.  13 different nations have won medals so far.
