Biathlon IBU World Championships 2019

I have news about the Austrian team:

 

Men: Tobias Eberhard, Dominik Landertinger and Felix Leitner.

Julian Eberhard and Simon Eder are still in Austria due to health problems. Eberhard will have a training today in Austria and is expected to travel to Östersund tomorrow. Eder has caught a strong cold. It's possible that his first start will be the Individual next Wednesday. 

If Eberhard and/or Eder are not healthy by Thursday, Nikolaus Leitinger and/or David Komatz could take their spots. 

 

Women: Lisa Hauser, Katharina Innerhofer, Christina Rieder and Julia Schwaiger, Reserves: Dunja Zdouc and Fabienne Hartweger.

I hope Eberhard and Eder indeed have the mentioned physical problems and they're not staying behind for a different reason..

Two of the top Austrians suddenly getting health problems. Yeah, not weird at all.

On the other hand, Landertinger (seen training with Hauke and his coach) is there

Well, as always, the Lithuanian biathlon team is not announced. Good thing we're small and I have some connections

 

Tomas Kaukėnas, Vytautas Strolia, Karol Dombrovski, Gabrielė Leščinskaitė and Natalija Kočergina have already travelled to Ostersund.

 

I assume that Linas Banys will join the team after his races in Sjusjoen to form the men's relay.

 

There are still four athletes that technically could make an appearance, but I highly doubt that we'll see them, unless perhaps Ana Jesipionok will travel together with Linas to start in a race or two.

Apparently Nastya got a cold in Ostersund and therefore with the coaches they decided that it will be better to save some energy for the Fridays sprint. so she will not be part of the Mixed Relay.

 

our relays in Ostersund will very likely be:

 

Mixed Relay (I. Fialková/P.Fialková/Hasilla/Otčenáš)

Single Mixed Relay (Not announced yet)

W Relay order (I. Fialková/P. Fialková/Poliaková/Kuzmina)

M Relay order (Šíma/Kazár/Hasilla/Otčenáš)

I correctly guessed our team, all of the seven biathletes that I mentioned by name
