Werloc 3,144 Posted February 17, 2020 #411 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Ooooooooor, we could do the original gender relays with 4 women or 4 men, but every single team gets a Norwegian man with the best skis to start at any (1-5th) leg that they see fit and you would draw your Norwegian from the pool just like you draw a bib number in the sprint.

Laser Rifles wouldn’t kill biathlon by the way, and we don’t know because we haven’t opened ourselves up to trying. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Yes, that would be a problem, so we’d have to figure out a workaround. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Monzanator 3,764 Posted February 17, 2020 #415 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Olympian1010 said: That would actually encourage smaller nations, so I have literally zero problem with that. Again, we’re still assuming a conclusion from something we haven’t tried. My crystal ball has seen the future! Then again, top nations wouldn't like to see smaller nations suddenly becoming players so they would oppose that IMO. It's happening in ski jumping already. We used to have 13-14 teams in the 00s, now they can barely enter 9 four-man teams for a Team Event. And Kazakhstan is just way off the pace all the time. Russia, South Korea, Italy, USA and Switzerland don't bother to enter teams anymore. Edited February 17, 2020 by Monzanator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wouldn't be enough Lithuanians for our relay then. Unless of course they could use our retired Lithuanian male biathletes and that would be the formerly doped Zlatkauskas and some of the very unsuccessful junior career quitters such as Šarūnas Jukna or Kipras Daugirdas.
