It's funny because in Poland for years biathletes wanted to become "sport soldiers" and Wereonika Nowakowska was the one that was always denied because she'd had to skip one summer training camp for a three-month army prep course. And the coaches (mainly Kolodziejczyk, who else) never allowed her to do that.

 

Obviously it's not a full-time military service, least of all in countries that aren't at war with anyone. Usually some office paperwork or promo appearances. God knows biathletes have enough shooting training to get bored of it in the army :p

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.

Currently the whole NT is. The guys who retired from sport this summer, retired because the club (well basically the ministry of defence) did not extained their contracts because of poor results...

 

It is in fact Not exactly an obligation, but basically it is unofficially expected that if you want to be a top level athlete representing the country, you should sign with Dukla and thus enter "unofficially-officially" the Slovak Army. Slovakia is kinda an exception in the world sport. Almost 75 % of Slovak top athletes are members of the Slovak Army (under the military Club Dukla Banská Bystrica)

and we are speaking about likes of Petra Vlhová, canoe slalom team etc.. or even the Russian-born wrestlers who are winning for us medals nowadays :p

 

  Hide contents

 

 

 

And speaking about biathlon eventual mercenaries, Even Nastya Kuzmina was and (still is) part of Dukla :p here is the full list (when you will click on biathlon icon you will find the complete list of athletes, and you can see that it is the complete NT)

https://www.dukla.sk/

 

 

 

well, not so much...

 

I mean, in most Countries many athletes of the socalled "minor sports" have to enter the military groups to have a salary and time to train professionally...

 

also in Italy 99% of the top athletes in almost every individual sport (except for tennis, golf, motorsports) are enrolled into the military corpse (we have many: the main police -aka Fiamme Oro- the jail police -aka Fiamme Azzurre- the Financial Guard -aka Fiamme Gialle- the regular Army, the socalled "Carabinieri" -which is a selected corpse within the Army- the Aviation and the Marine Corpse)...

 

and once their sport career is over, if they want, they can continue another career in the actual job they are going to be prepared for.

Anamarija Lampič is confirmed to start the sprint in Hochfilzn this week. Let's see how it turns out. I recon she can get points if she has a decent shoot. Say seven out of ten. 

Well, I think points with a 7/10 is maybe a bit far-fetched. She impressed in IBU Cup, skiing-wise, that's for sure, but the field was not as strong as usual. It was more or less a very strong Junior Cup. Without the Russians and with most of the Norwegian B-team in WC, only the Germans were fielding their "journeywomen", who are not the fastest out there. 

My call is she will be within 30-50s of the best ski time today. Considering her pedestrian shooting speed (44s in Idre) it's like she's starting with only 9 bullets, so "6/10" would be short of the top 40.

Same in France. In winter sports (meaning on snow here, kinda) most of the elite athletes are enrolled in the Gendarmerie, the land Army or the Customs.

      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.

      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

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  ?

      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)
