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

Cool! Stuff like weird wind is a chance for Jill

 

Since she's coming from the low-mid regions of the IBU Cup,  any athlete she keeps behind her today is a victory

Dahlmeier #52, Davidova #72 the latest of the big names on the start list. P.Fialkova #49 also in Group 2.

So, Aymonier gets a solid sprint spot and original reserve Braisaz is there in for the sick Bescond.

Okay, I'm starting to HATE the ES coverage. 5 skiers in and they go ad break then we listen to some USELESS expert talk... will we get to see anyone other than Top 15 names on the course/range? What is this CRAP???

Don't have the beautiful image of ARD/ZDF HD today, so Pat and Mike are keeping me company today. And yeah, that break after five starters...very annoying.

Well now I'm happy eurosport is showing MotoGP and snooker here

Poliakova is worse than ever. Slovakia really has no other that might jump into women't relay?

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Wierer's shooting terrible lately. Two misses in prone. Vittozzi misses two as well!

I think she's mentally wrecked beyond repair after the online hate. I'd be shocked if she doesn't retire after this season and Slovakia simply finds anyone to replace her. Question is how long is Kuzmina going though which may affect this.

Vittozzi 2 misses. Say goodbye to a medal now. Sounds like Olsbu vs Dahlmeier now unless there are more misses.
