One bit of good news is that all the IBU Cup races this season will be shown live on eurovisionsports.tv.

 

 

Wow, all of them? :yikes: 

 

That is fantastic indeed! Usually there's the 3-minute highlight videos and a random race where someone put a video at the finish line or something.

Well, unfortunately we lost Žurauskaitė to a severe injury this season, she was showing similar strength to Leščinskaitė and Kočergina entire off-season.

 

With her out, there's less than 1% chance to see a Lithuanian women's relay this season in WC.

Coverage looks good, pretty near full numbers of cameras etc.  but why no commentary?  If small sports like ski mountaineering & telemark can put comms on their YT vids surely biathlon can as well.

Probably because they realize there'll be like 50 views and it's just not worth it? :p 

 

Although they could have looped the stadium speaker through to have something at least.

Well, they’d get a lot more views with comms than without!  Obviously not so many live views, but delayed over the week?  Plenty.

I'd honestly doubt that. Even those short highlight videos usually got to 2k views or so. Which is fine for something relatively obscure as the IBU Cup, but long-ass broadcasts...? I don't think a lot of people would go back and watch the whole thing...commentary or not.

Anamarija Lampic throws away a potential podium on her international biathlon debut :yikes: 

 

Which is not meant negatively, but the opposite: until shot 9, she was well in position for even a win! Sadly shots 9 and 10 were missed, after one miss in the prone shooting which she basically made up entirely on the skis.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
