Yeah, Johann Passler won 3 World Cup races in his career and took bronze medal in 1988 OG individual.

 

unfortunately most people remember him for throwing away the gold medal in the individual race in Albertville 1992, when he entered the last shooting needing only 3/5 to win gold and 2/5 to earn at least a silver/bronze medal, but he hit only 1/5 :facepalm:

All - WOW!  I was able to be at the Pursuits yesterday.  The only way to relate the atmosphere in Le Grand Bornand is a football/soccer match.  I was on the course, and when Julia Simon and Eric Perro

Laegreid and Simon both tested positive on Covid-19. Laegreid will definitely miss the races this weekend, Simon is unsure.

Italian men will be doing great too, Italy really had very many successful junior years, now they need a couple more years to develop the youngsters in the World Cup. 

 

I stand by my statement still. 

there's not enough skiing talent and, worse, there are no good skiing coaches in our men's Biathlon...

 

the women, instead, have a lot more chances to develop a good team, but so far Passler, Auchentaller and Zingerle have been really disappointing and haven't done a decent transition to the senior ranks, yet.

still, I hope they can slowly improve up to Wierer and Vittozzi's level one day (possibly by the 2026 Olympics).

Perhaps I'm more lenient with the time frame of the transition.

 

I believe that Bionaz, Giacomel, Passler and others are making a nice transition.

 

I much more prefer my athletes start peaking at 25-ish, less chance of burning out and fading away quickly and better for character growth.

 

I think they are in a very good place for their age, seeing as it is only their second world cup season. And only the very start of it.

maybe you're right, but still I expected more from the girls.

 

Giacomel instead is already good on the skis, but he has too many problems with his shooting (and I fear our coaches are trying to change his natural shooting pace, slowing him down, which is not a good idea...so far, actually, they're making him a mess at the shooting range).

 

however, we have time until our home Olympics...let's see if they can build up, slowly but steadily...or if they will be more wasted talents, as it happened with some guys of the previous generation.

yes, you're right! :yes

I always mess them up because it was Passler that came close to the gold medal with 4 mistakes (with 3 he would have won easily), but he made them all in the first 3 shooting sessions, meanwhile Zingerle missed (all) 4 in the last round, but he would have won only if had made 2 mistakes or less and not with 3 missed shots. :facepalm:

Finally,i'm back here,well my username doesn't really feel that true anymore but oh well,to the topic....

I'm loving How much Strolia is kicking ass and how confident he is,it is sooooooooooo good to have a winter athlete from here that just goes and says : ''Coach,i'm not satisfied with 22 place anymore''.God, it feels like i been flunged to a parellel dimension.

From 22 to 11 with one miss shot[i cannot wait for the first time he hits 20 out of 20,i fully believe he can do it in this season],and actually had to make Quentin work to keep his ten place and didn't allow doll to get anywhere near him.Yeah,sorry i'm just in full disagreement with all of you,this season could not be anymore fun for me right now.

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      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 ,
