Ravna Gora ("Flat Mountain") is cool. :d But also very hit-or-miss with snow conditions. Either there is a lot of it, or none of it at all.

The first plan was Ravna Gora. But as there are 3 races in Nove Mesto, plans changed. I've heard there's nothing "flat" in Nove Mesto, so I am expecting for more suffering than before. It's also going to be more tiring because it's gonna be a long ride from Livigno to Nove Mesto (they say it takes 10 hours by car, but as it's Livigno I am expecting for more) and all the way back, just to sleep in Livigno because then I have to go also by car to Bodenmais (for the IBU in Arber). I am not happy with that, but... federation's plan ??‍♀️?

Well at least you have the forum to entertain you during the long rides :p

Yes, if I have internet on the road ?☺️

Usually I do not get an European SIM card, just connect when there is WiFi somewhere. but due to the experience from the past seasons in Livigno, I am thinking about getting one this time.

Russian Biathlon is back in the news.  Looks like Austrian authorities conducted a late night visit to the team.  They have also announced the teams for the WC and IBU Cups, but there is some decisions that are being questioned because the coaches did not follow the federations stated criteria.  The second article appears to have been translated from Russian, so some of the wording is not quite correct.  

 

Russian WC team:

Men: Alexander Loginov, Evgeny Garanichev, Dmitry Malyshko, Anton Babikov, Eduard Latypov, Nikita Porshnev, Matvey Eliseev.

Women: Ekaterina Yurlova-Percht, Victoria Slivko, Svetlana Mironova, Larisa Kuklina, Kristina Reztsova, Tamara Voronina.

 

Another article about finances with Ostersund.  One of the city councilors appears to state that the WC stop is drawing fewer people than in the past, especially when Magdalena Forsberg was on the top of the biathlon world.

 

IBU put out a good piece on the new Chinese biathlon coaches.

@brunamoura

 

Thanks for the insight.  I love to see your posts about what is it like on the other side of the track.  Please keep posting as it really adds to the site.

Which should mean no Mironova in the IBU Cup, that's excellent news for everyone in the IBU Cup :p

    • 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)
