For the Lithuanian context,woohoo once again three Lithuanians in the pursuit,super glad Tomas finally made it in,the last time he competed in the pursuit was actually in the 2018 games.extreamly pleased with Dombrovsky scoring points by shooting perfectly,hope the pursuit goes great aswell,Fomin is progressing and can now  fight for top 60 in every sprint with perfect or near perfect shooting,And i'm confident that Strolia can put in a good shooting performance to climb up quite a few places tomorrow,overall the team for the second time scored over 300 world cup points,so today as a whole was not bad at for Lithuanian biathlon.

A first time ever,at least as far as the men go apparently.

On French TV they said it happened once in the 90's, but I sadly don't remember the biathlete's name, it ended in -ov I think (yes I'm sorry for the bad memory :lol:)

No worries about the memory.I did a search and found Vladimir Drachev,he did win four in a row,those were the last four sprints of the season tough,he had one third place finish in the first three,that four sprint run looks to be why he won the world cup that season too.

Didn't expect the Lithuanian team to come out swinging, especially in Pokljuka :p 

 

I guess this is our "we've rested after Christmas, but be worried about Rupholding" kind of stage :d

Great showing from Maya Cloetens :BEL nearly getting points in a sprint with 8/10 on her debut ... 

After already getting several 2nd place finishes in the IBU Cup, the level directly beneath the World Cup!

 

Spoiler

According to the Dutch commentator at least, former World Cup athlete Herbert Cool. Confused with the Junior Cup I think :p Not to be negative about him though, he is absolutely an excellent commentator, always fun to listen to and definitely knows what he's talking about, this was just a tiny hick-up :d

    • 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.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • 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.
    • 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 ,
