Wow!  The Junior event has tons of nations.

 

Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Spain, Estonia, Great Britain, Greece, Greenland, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, Switzerland, Slovakia, Turkey and Ukraine.  

 

Plus many smaller nations have more than one athlete!

Yup, I was very happy to see the diversity, hoping that it extends past the junior years.

 

Also, excited to see South Korea with full junior squads, they could've easily pulled a "China" after their Olympics, but they stayed invested in the sport and even stopped importing Russians.

But no Norway or France (or Russia) + many of the best talents are Competing in Senior IBU Cup instead. Those Things will have to be Kept in mind when Looking at the results.

Actually the lack of those teams, plus Belarus and the US as well make me even more encouraged.   I have no issues at all when people "play up" a level if they are ready.  It is often best for their long term development.  I am just excited to see lots of nations making an effort to be there.

Convincing win for Scattolo from Italy (Born 2003). I think she has the quality to finish Top 10-15 in the Senior IBU Cup with Good shooting. Hard to imagine that the Italian IBU Cup Team is Too Strong for her to make the Team. Hopefully she will get a chance soon. Andexer from Austria and Zorc from Slovenia also with promising skiing times. Only the top 2 were within a minute, so that isn’t a good sign for the overall depth (with France/Norway/Russia missing).

Just a little sidenote: for Brazil I'm 99,99% sure it's just for the free IBU money one (read: the federation) gets for starting a race and they don't at all care about the results (at least the shooting part, I suppose they simply use it - other than for the free money - to get some more racing rhythm for the cross-country races) :p 

 

Could well be the same for other small nations of course, but that I don't know.

9 shot clean in the women's race, but one was over 8 min behind, while shooting clean.  

 

I actually missed a nation, Chile is there, but she struggled.  9 missed shots and +32 min back.

 

If you look at the winning time of about 24 min.  Figure that each lap was 7:30 for her.  Everyone from spot 70th on back would have been lapped at least once by her, and some multiple times.  

 

I guess this speaks to the lack of depth.  But on the positive side of things, this also speaks to the initial success of the more focused efforts of the IBU to invest in Regional Development.

But, Congrats Cloetens for getting a podium for Belgium!:BEL

And not with shooting luck or something, but the very fastest skiing time of all, with only one other girl within 20 seconds of her and only four other girls within a minute :yikes:

    • Wait, am I seeing it correctly that we've got a full group stage with tons of matches in the 2025 World Cup now, months away from 2025, and then have literally two matches somewhere halfway next year?  
    • Finally something we can all agree on  
    • Schedule   I found this link through Wikipedia so I'm not sure how accurate it is or if it's legit. It didn't show up on the official site or through google search for me. If this is actually the schedule, then it was approved already on March 13.   Some things I noticed about the schedule:   Alpine Skiing While the last two Olympics mixed the speed and slalom throughout the schedule, these Olympics will go back to featuring the speed events + combined in the first week and the slalom events in the 2nd week Biathlon All events happen in the late morning/early afternoon. Now that the Olympics are back in Europe as opposed to East Asia, there is no need to schedule the biathlon events late at night to accommodate European Primetime Curling Like the previous two Olympics, there's curling every day but the mixed doubles morning session starts at 10:00 instead of 9:00 Figure Skating The order of events in the team competition looks like it's been reversed (so women's short program is first and the men's is last). For the individual events, ice dance comes first followed by the men, pairs, and then women. Notably the ice dance and men's short programs are on back to back days. Freestyle Skiing/Snowboarding All of the big air and halfpipe finals are at night to accommodate US primetime. Slopestyle finals however are still in the afternoon. On the contrary, moguls and aerials events will take place during the morning/early afternoon. They were at night at least for the last 4 Olympics. The snowboarding big air events are the first events to occur and the men's qualification falls before the Opening Ceremony on Day -1. First time it's taken place before slopestyle. Slopestyle events have been moved to Days 11 and 12. On the contrary, for freestyle skiing, the slopestyle events now proceed the big air events. The slopestyle events are on Days 3 and 4 while the big air events are on Days 11 and 12. They basically swapped places from the 2022 schedule. Moguls events are now during the middle of the first week as opposed to the first weekend when it would usually take place. The dual moguls events will make its debut during the second weekend Mixed Team Aerials is now at the very end of the freestyle skiing program on Day 15. The individual aerials events are now in the middle of the 2nd week as opposed to the 2nd weekend/beginning of the 2nd week. Ice Hockey Some of the days have staggered start times as opposed to multiple games starting at the same time Luge Both the men's and women's doubles are on the same day Short Track The order of events looks the same but there are a couple of sessions that take place in the morning. In the last two Olympics, the sessions were all at night. Skeleton Mixed team event takes place after both individual events Ski Jumping Women's Large Hill will make it's debut during the 2nd Saturday of the Games. Ski Mountaineering First time this has been held at the Olympics. Both men's/women's sprints are on Day 13 (February 19) and the mixed relay is on Day 15 (February 21) Speed Skating The 1000m and 1500m events have swapped places in the schedule with the 1000m events taking place on Days 3 and 5 while the 1500m events take place on Days 13 and 14
