Ravna Gora ("Flat Mountain") is cool. :d 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 ??‍♀️?

Well at least you have the forum to entertain you during the long rides :p

Yes, if I have internet on the road ?☺️

Usually I do not get an European SIM card, just connect when there is WiFi somewhere. but due to the experience from the past seasons in Livigno, I am thinking about getting one this time.

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.

@brunamoura

 

Thanks for the insight.  I love to see your posts about what is it like on the other side of the track.  Please keep posting as it really adds to the site.

Which should mean no Mironova in the IBU Cup, that's excellent news for everyone in the IBU Cup :p

    • 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
