Anyone had a perfect prediction? I got Norway and Italy right, but sadly France completely messed up instead of winning silver ...

I had the full podium

It's a provisional start list though, changes are possible...(Brazil was on the provisional list for the SMR in Lenzerheide even though they had already left Lenzerheide for example)

 

Brazil disappeared though. Is it possible to appear?

I wouldn't be surprised if they skip that event. Our athletes in sports like biathlon are rarely familiar with the inner workings of the federation.

Yeah, that is my main question too  My example was kinda to illustrate that changes are possible, so you know, hope..

 

After tomorrow's sprint I'll try and find out some more from Kozica, I think asking about that the day before the sprint is not very friendly

Oh yeah, forgot to ask. Vishnevskaya is back in the sprint race tomorrow?? I thought she was still under investigation

Looks like it's just another one of those "Kazakhstan raids" that are happening every other day...

She went to CAS and CAS cleared her to compete.

@Monzanator Lukas Sczurek had a faster leg than Fourcade lol

 

Yeah, it's a major surprise. Everyone here thought the men will blow up the girls' effort so it's a big shock. I thought we'll finish 15th-16th tbh

Looks like a windy day for the women's sprint. Any 10/10 could win gold?

Not even live on Eurosport here

 

Luckily there's German TV with Kati Wilhelm analyzing things, but still.
