If we keep this up, we're going to get a brand new thread 

Or have some magic erasing come tomorrow morning...

 

All I can say, is that @RobtheAggie will be very exited, confused, and then sad.

I would like an 'Ugh' reaction. Since we don't have it, I'll just go 'Ugh'. 

 

Ugh.

Did everyone fill in the survey though? Shame on everyone who's here and didn't.

That’s your opinion. Looking for improvements is a good thing. It’s how we cure disease, come up with new technology, etc. That’s what set you and me apart. I move forward towards the future, while you stand still. 
 

I think wind compensation points were a good compromise to a difficult issue.

 

Wind having an effect in outdoor sport? That's not an issue, It's called Mother Nature

 

Biathlon enters 100+ athletes in World Cup and even more in IBU Cup thru junior events. If someone wants to fix something that is not broken it's an automatic "NO" from me.

 

If we have like 60 athletes from 8 countries in biathlon World Cup then you might call for a change. But not when we have 100+ competitors from 20+ nations.

I did. And I ignored all the climate change crap options. I don't care about that

I selected the medium option and then switched to "No" when any of the Yes options meant you had to tell in which ways  

 

Right, it's been fun but it's long past bedtime  See ya

Many athletes doesn’t equal not worth improving. We could have more athletes, or more competitive athletes. There’s between 190-220 countries in the world depending upon your beliefs, 25-30 seems rather low. While 100 countries can’t reasonably compete, the number still seems low then.

Yes, of course. Sport should fuck the planet over! I forget about that Olympic moral.

Yeah, the IBU got a paragraph for me . Mostly practical stuff like, have recycling drives at events, clean up after yourself, clean up the bullets, cut down less trees when making trails, etc.
