Some sad news, the Minnesota National Guard had a helicopter crash this past week.  One of those that died, Sgt. Kort Miller Plantenberg, was a member of the Minnesota NG Biathlon team.  Condolences to all of those who died and their friends and family.

NORAM #2 is this weekend in West Yellowstone, MT.  

 

14 Dec - Sprint

15 Dec - Pursuit

 

 

 

Also the Alpencup had their first events this past weekend.

 

7 Dec - Sprint

Men - Top 7 places were all German athletes.  Also a mix of Ukraine, Austria, Swiss, Belarus and Korean.  Roman Rees was scheduled to race but did not.  Justus Strelow (1996) went 0-1 to win with a time of 24:27.8, 5.2 seconds better than Dominic Schmuck (1996) who went 1-1.  

Junior Men - Won by Niklas Hartweg of Switzerland (2000) with a 0-0, 24:46.  There were 77 in the Junior race.  

Women - A little more diverse crowd at the top, but Stefanie Scherer of Germany (1996) won the race with a 0-1 22:16.8 43.2 seconds faster than Flurina Volken of Switzerland.  There was a Mongolian athlete in the race.  

Junior Women - Won by Amy Baserga (2000) of Switzerland with a 0-0 22:43.8.  She was 45.1 seconds ahead of Anastasia Raskazova of the Ukraine.  

 

8 Dec - Super Individual - looked like a Super Sprint

Men - Justin Strelow and Dominic Schmuck took the top two places with a 19:44 and 20:11.  Both missed one shot total.  The US was in the races and Paul Schommer was third with Max Durtschi 4th.  Both missed 2 shots.

Junior Men - Niklas Hartweg won again by 14.7 second over Max Barchewitz of Germany.  Both missed two shots.    

Women - Stefanie Scherer won again with a 30.7 lead over countrywoman Sophia Schneider of Germany.  Scherer had a 16:34 over the 5k course with 20 shots, she only missed 2.  

Junior Women - Juilane Fruhwirt of Germany who had two misses and had a time of 16:45.  She was 34 seconds ahead of Franziska Pfneur also of Germany.

haha cool :d

 

just to clarify, when you´ll order one, look at the ending of the word Biathlete. so in this case Biatlonista / Biatlonistka

 

Biatlonista is for boys

Biatlonistka is for girls

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
