brunamoura 230 Posted November 22, 2019 #201 Share Posted November 22, 2019 1 hora atrás, dcro disse: Ravna Gora ("Flat Mountain") is cool. 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 ??♀️? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobtheAggie 340 Posted November 22, 2019 Author #207 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited November 22, 2019 by RobtheAggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which should mean no Mironova in the IBU Cup, that's excellent news for everyone in the IBU Cup If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
