Considering the form on this WC, I'd say your men's team is the favourite for gold. J. Boe is scary, but the rest of the Norway isn't at all.

I'd definitely argue that Tarjei Boe looks fine in this WC and Christiansen is a beast on the shooting range, which is very useful in relay competitions. Reliable, fast shooting.

I'm slightly surprised that Germany went for Hinz over Preuss. Italy with 0 ambitions to go for gold with the way that they organised their relay. For France it will be all about the shooting. Norway is a mixed bag of stress with Solemdal's performance and standing shooting from both Tandrevold and Eckhoff.

 

As for men, I would have actually liked to see Fillon-Mallet on the 4th position, because Martin does not really look as ambitious or prepared to race for a medal, especially if it's going to be a ski race on the last lap. Germany and Norway look rather solid as well. Sweden might really do something with good shooting.

Well, he held his own in the mixed relay against Doll, in his first ever World Championship competition. This is some Dahlmeier level of reliability :p

Teams are out for relays.

 

Slovakia did change something, moved Poliakova and Kuzmina a spot, and put Paulina Fialkova as an anchor.

 

Medal favourites below?

 

Hinz-Hildebrand-Herrmann-Dahlmeier

Vitozzi-Gontier-Wierer-Sanfilippo

Solemdal-Tandrevold-Eckhoff-Olsbu

 

Herrmann-Gontier-Eckhoff show on range!

 

Why Herrmann-Gontier-Eckhoff show?

Surprised that Germany starts with their 2 weakest athletes, there is a good chance that Italy, Norway and maybe some other relays will already be out of reach when Herrmann takes over. Based on what i saw so far my favorites are Norway and Sweden.

Agree, only problem might be that relays normally arent decided before the last leg and its hard to see Fourcade beating any half way decent opponent man to man in his current shape. On paper France has the strongest relay. What a shame that Schempp didnt make it, him in normal shape + Doll, Lesser and Peiffer would have made Germany the favorite for gold in my opinion. Nawrath, Kühn and Rees are completely unpredictable.

Now I'm imagining Christiansen standing in front of his girlfriend juggling with some bowling pins or something, entertaining away :p

Well, when I read "entertaining my girlfriend", I think about something completely different. :p But I'm also 23, so that could explain it.

    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
    • and Artistic Gymnastics is "Sporting Gymnastics" while Rythmic Gymnastics is god know why "Modern Gymnastics" 
    • and a brief look to Cortina village    
    • We call it beauty skating, if we're using the literal translation. 
    • Our delegation are a bit surprised there no chairs nor tables in the rooms though  You not use tables in Italy ?
