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

Same here for Brazil.

I wonder when will smaller teams (as well as with other less popular sports) eventually understand that regularly posting and informing their fans on what's going on is eventually going to lead them to more people being interested?

 

At the end of the day, people wanna know shit. For example, I used to write my LLAF buddies or athletes that I know to find out when athletics competitions are starting in my hometown. Eventually, they're becoming better at that, but it only helps the people that are actively looking. The problem of empty stands during competitions is actually reaching the people that are not interested and to make them interested. Playing "Guess your World Championships team" is not a game that many people want to play, but our biathlon page is updated once a year it seems, because in the active athlete section we have retired ones and those that came back out of retirement are nowhere to be seen

Brazil does, although they mostly focus like madmen on their Olympians and kinda pretend the rest doesn't exist.

Of course i hope that Germnay wins the gold medal, but Norway should be the clear favorite. I wonder why Preuß wont compete instead of Hinz, hopefully she isnt ill again.

Hinz is the mentally toughest, according to German coaches I overheard during lunch in Arber  

 

If Preuss is out because of illness I'm throwing my laptop out of the window (not literally)

Realistic expectations for US.

Individual races, not just the 20k/15k a top 15 would be awesome.  In the team events, a top ten would be great.

No chances for us, since there are no Poje and Fak in team. Top 10 or at least top 12 would be amazing result.
