That means 7 hits!  

She’s not last either, so plenty of reasons to celebrate.

Mokhova  has destroyed the field in this Individual. She looks poised to win by well over a minute.

@heywoodu How do you get DSQ in Biathlon. I know it’s “common”, but I’m just wondering what the usual ways are.  have both been DSQed after the finish.

Turns out that I don't really enjoy junior curling. Tactics are just boring, as teams are not willing to take risks, even when they are behind on scoreboard.

And now the Norwegian skip misses the Slovenian stone in an attempt to blank the end.

I’ve found this  v.  game mildly interesting, but yeah there is a lack of “let’s try something”. That could be down to the format. Every team is playing not lose, since two teams advance from each group. They don’t want to lose by large margins in case it goes to tiebreaker. They’re too concerned about “advancing” to take risks. At least that’s my assessment, but maybe @Vojthas could offer more.

This is the games where Norway has really fallen apart after the first few ends. Burras seems to have been a poor choice as a skip.

The most common ways have to do with the shooting. For example going out on the loop with a bullet still in your rifle. One could also seriously hinder another competitor, go out on the course with a rifle that's not properly marked by officials beforehand or firing more than five rounds in one shooting bout in an individial, mass start, pursuit or sprint - that last happened to Taynara in her debut race, where she thought she could use spare munitions
