Biathlon 2019 Off Season Discussion

I thought this might be a good idea to contain all of the discussions between the seasons here.

 

Russia is looking at their cross-country ski team to see if anyone wants to try biathlon.  The article I read was specific about the German women's team as an example.

 

An idea. What about a South American Championship in July?  It would give teams a chance to get on snow and check their progress.  Have it about three weeks prior to the roller ski championship.

That's too early :p 

 

It's always in August or September, usually in Bariloche (ARG) or Portillo (CHI). For this year if I'm looking at the schedule right, 8-13 August it's in Portillo and 19-23 August it's in Bariloche (it's held in two separate stages).

That is why I love this website.  All sorts of info!  Do many nations outside of South America show up, I guess do some nations use it to prep for the winter?

 

It's usually Brazil vs Argentina vs Chile :p 

 

I've never heard biathletes from 'bigger' nations being there, and I'm sure if they were there, I would be told because that'd be cool :d

    • Before the list came out, I had a feeling they’d include the mixed 4 x 400 but I didn’t think they’d drop the men and women’s 4 x 400. 
    • I was convinced this was just a mistake and it had been left off the list in error. 
    • Karlsruhe Meet tomorrow, always one of the big ones.   https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-indoor-tour/news/indoor-meeting-karlsruhe-ogunleye-mitton-jackson-mihambo-nordas
    • The initial list of medal events came out today. Both 4 x 400 meters relays for men and women have been dropped in favour of a mixed 4 x 400 relay.   i posted the list earlier today.

    • Sadly that won't have Liliana Lewińska reinstated for the Olympics (she was the one robbed at the expense of the Russian representing ).   Nothing to see here anyway. Gymnastics is one of the last sports where you have judges openly manipulating the results and nobody really cares. Trikomiti should be banned for life but yeah, let's move on.
    • I'd love to, but logistically it is going to be such a difficult thing     They somehow put 'the most geographically widespread Olympics ever!' as a positive marketing thing, but it's just really annoying for fans....we're going to look for an accomodation between Tesero and Antholz (I'd say around Bolzano or one of those lovely towns around it) and the ice hockey is like 3+ hours drive away..   Maybe for France 2030, but for Cortina I hope my priority in terms of what to watch is rather obvious  
    • I can pretty much agree with your predictions, no idea where they got their numbers from.
