Two procedural changes with the IBU.  They have finally joined the CAS anti-doping division.  I did not know that they had not done so.  Also, Para Biathlon will either need to join IBU or create their own organization.

 

Do not forget to do the IBU Fan Survey.

Totallympics is no option.

Rather annoying that 'Other' is not an option, since none of these are correct for me.

This makes it sound like live streams are the only option. I basically never watch biathlon live streams except for junior worlds or something, because I always watch it on TV..

I know, but why on earth would I connect ESP player to my TV when I can watch the exact same thing - without the 30 second or so delay you have with internet streams - on the actual Eurosport TV channel? :lol:

 

Apart from the fact I usually divide my biathlon watching 50/50 or so between Eurosport and German TV :p

Yes, the IPC has said that all sports have to be governed by real federations. The IPC will no longer have their own federations for sports after 2020.

Interesting article about the composition and problems of the Russian biathlon team.  

According to the article, Olga Podchufarovia did not receive any opposition from the Russian team as she moved to Slovenia. 

Also Ekaterina Avvakumova intended to move to Serbia. However, in the coming season, the Russian woman will not be able to make her debut under the flag of a new country. This decision was made by the IBU.

“The IBU Secretary General informed us that Avvakumova will not play for Serbia this season. IBU explained its decision by saying that the biathlete did not demonstrate a genuine, close and reliable connection with our country, ”TASS quoted Velimir Vukadin, President of the Biathlon Union of Serbia, as saying.

And Maigurov explained that, according to the new IBU rules, Avvakumova has no chance at all to play for Serbia, since now a biathlete can only change sports citizenship once in a career.

Now I'm curious what Podchufarova's genuine, close and reliable connection with Slovenia is. A partner?

    • In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.
    • Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)
    • According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?
    • Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved.... 
    • This year, Italy will play against Slovakia in the women's hockey World Championships in Budapest in April. Who do you think will be the favorite?
    • Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport 
    • You are easily in NBC´s medal Tally Top 10 mate. No worries 
    • In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
