Monzanator 3,600 Posted July 5, 2019 #51 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I fully expect IBU to blow the individual race within the next Olympic cycle instead The last event where shooting REALLY matters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 340 Posted July 8, 2019 Author #52 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It will be interesting to see what happens to the individual. It is the original race, and for a long time, the only race. But in terms of viewership and attendance, it is at the bottom. I could see either the M-60 or super sprint moved into its place. I do like how the IBU is using the IBU Cup as a trial place, but I really like the Individual. Other things in the news - Canada has announced the location and dates for their National Championship. It will be in Valcartier, Quebec. A site that has hosted numerous NORAM events. The funny thing, as an American, the US did not announce their location until almost December 2018 for the 2019 event in March. Hopefully a little earlier next year.

RobtheAggie 340 Posted July 8, 2019 Author #53 Share Posted July 8, 2019 And for a little fun, see how you do on this quiz on non-famous biathletes. I got 6 of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really did not like it, I much preferred the orange one from a few years ago. The stars on the calf from the 2018-2019 one just looked odd to me.

The main problem here was that there's not really any suit she likes the past season, same for me. At least USA showed it's colors and flag and stuff. Almost all others were so generic and boring.

RobtheAggie 340 Posted July 10, 2019 Author #60 Share Posted July 10, 2019 "The biathletes rated as most attractive were US Olympian Lowell Bailey and Czech Olympian Eva Puskarčíková." That is an interesting result to that study. Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
