Biathlon 2019 - 2020 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Two interesting notes.

 

1.  2020 Summer Biathlon championships are headed to Germany.

 

2.  Biathlon Canada is turning to meet and greets for fundraisers to lessen the gap due to a funding shortfall.

Totally missed this until I saw the start list for today's women's sprint in Sjusjoen, but Lotte Lie has changed her allegiance to....Belgium :yikes: 

https://s-n.no/lotte-lie-skal-ga-for-belgia/

 

Apparently her mother is Belgian, so it's a relatively easy (and logical) step.

the Italian girls look already in good shape...:cheer:

 

Lisa Vittozzi won today's Sprint race with some margin over the surprising Swede Ingela Andersson...and Dorothea Wierer came 3rd...

Vytautas Strolia 36th in the Norwegian championship. Hard to say if it's a promising result, 32nd course time among some really good athletes and also beat Guiggonat, Windisch, Hofer and Moravec in the standings, so perhaps he won't be a pushover in Ostersund.

 

Our junior Linas Banys in 61st looks in a much better shape than last year, especially since he demolished Karol from the A team whom finished 84th.

 

Other than that, Fomin finished 89th whilst Romanov, Jakeliūnas and Mačkinė ended in 126th, 127th and 129th, watch out IBU cup, we're coming and we're ready.

 

Not too eager to discuss the girls when Leščinskaitė manages to be +3.35.4 behind Vittozzi with a 0+1 shooting score.

Judging by the decorations on her rifle, Marketa Davidova :CZE is seemingly sponsored by My Little Pony this year.  :raspberry:

That's not new though :p

Or just aren't peaking yet :p Windisch arrived at shooting 1 with a time JTB had when he left the shooting range :d

Fantastic final lap by Johannes Kühn though, he destroyed both Fourcade and JTB on it, turning a significant disadvantage after shooting 2 into a win :bowdown:

    • At the beginning, she was considering a helicopter transfer within that day as 3 companies offered her that option. But later, she did not give a clear answer but said that she will compete PGS. Some information still seem to be a bit unclear, but some information does not want to released to public. I am not so sure. But what actually happens, we have to wait for that certain day 
    • Yes, they also wrote about It months ago on the olympics website: https://www.olympics.com/en/news/ester-ledecka-chooses-snowboard-over-alpine-downhill-milano-cortina-2026
    • Not really. Maybe you heard it wrong. She decided to give up downhill and will focus on snowboarding parallel Giant slalom. After that, she should participate in Super G and Team Combined.    Btw, maybe, but really maybe, she may take part in one downhill training which is a condition in order to participate in downhill race. Why am saying that is the fact that if the downhill will be postponed to another day due to weather conditions, she would go for the downhill race as well. 
    • Actually it was announced some time ago she will do the Snowboarding PGS on Day 2 and then the Alpine Super-G on Day 6 (+ still in discussion process the start in the Alpine Combined Teams on Day 4)
