Biathlon IBU World Championships 2019

Lithuania is having simply the best championships! I am so excited. Vytautas Strolia, another person that's not known for hitting all the targets, I think this might have even been the first time (second at best) when he goes clear in a race and finished with a PB of 26th place :clap: Tomas Kaukėnas after an abyssmal season actually made it in the pursuit with clean shooting as well and Karol topped it off with decent ski speed and 63rd place, but his priority is the individual race and we'll see if he shines there.

 

Anyway, 26th for Strolia and 27th for Kočergina is more than anyone could have asked from our team, especially since we qualified like to two pursuit races this year and our only points were from Karol in an individual race at the start of the season. I'm a happy camper.

Will Lindstroem retire after this season?

Thanks to this post I realize he was in the race :yikes: 

 

I thought he would be focussing entirely on next season after his illness.

I don't think he will retire. He was just very ill this season, though I'm highly surprised he got a start in the world championships. Kinda unfair to Ponsiluoma (unless of course he's sick himself)

Doherty 10/10. @RobtheAggie will be happy about it ;)

 

Yep, very happy.  22nd place when shooting 0+0.  See what I mean when I said top 15 would be amazing!  The fact that both Claire Egan and Joanna Reid were in the top 15 for the womens sprint was great.  

But it was not just Doherty who shot well, coming off his terrible performance in the Mixed Relay, Nordgren shot 0+0, but is 1:51 behind, in 34th place.  A third American male, Jake Brown also qualified for the pursuit at 0+3 2:41 in 58th place.  I predict he will be lapped.  

 

Great shooting for four (males and females) in the sprint, just not great ski speed.  But I am happy!

Paja DNS in todays pursuit, she is too much disappointed by her performance (especially shooting) in the sprint, she decided altogether with the coaches that the best choice will be to DNS today and instead of competing to train and work on the shooting, before the remaining events, clearly focusing on the mass start.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
