Biathlon 2019 - 2020 Discussion Thread

With the southern hemisphere season and the summer biathlon season coming up, I'd say it's time to start using this thread instead of the (excellent) off-season thread? :p

Egyptian flag at Mt Hotham for the Victorian Biathlon Championships :d :yikes: @thepharoah

 

 

 

And the for now only video, where we see Jill Colebourn (unless I am incredibly mistaken) getting ready to shoot.

Nope, sorry (I'd keep an eye on AUS Biathlon's Facebook page). I can ask around for more info on the Egyptian, if I can't find it now I'll try when I see the Australian team in the winter season :p

A few interesting tidbits out of Russia.

 

Loginov has not signed a contract with the Russia Federation yet.  It appears that he wants more than they will pay him.  Now I can not see him missing the season, and it will get done, but it will be interesting to see how this ends up.

 

One of the first Rollerski races has been held in Barnaul, Russia.  A write-up is here.

I found a list of semi-IBU sanctioned rollerski events:

 

31 July-3 Aug - Sandnes, Norway - Blink Skifestivalen  The Rollerski Biathlon races are on 2 and 3 Aug.

11 Aug - Wiesbaden, Germany 

31 Aug - 1 Sept - Annecy, France - Martin Fourcade Nordic Festival

 

New Zealand Biathlon team getting some work in, while the snow is coming down in their home country.  Pictures like this make me jealous.  It will be about high 90s F/ High 30s C for me today!  Also good to see the NZ team working towards the Oceanic Championships.  

 

I have not been able to find any results from the Victorian Biathlon Championships.  Just that their program was a Short Individual as well as a Sprint.

    • Thank you! And I wish  win your medals at these Games and continue medal streak! For us even one medal will mark the Games as successfull.  
    • Trump will attack Iran soon , maybe tonight   
    • Yep, that was really unfortunate, but well, such things happens. Anyway this amount of lugers is really impressive.   Congrats and good luck at the Games
    • Yeah, Qualifying a team for the summer olympics is completely out of the question. Not going to happen for a long time. In Sydney 2000 we had 3 teams W Basketball, M Football & M Water Polo, it was already insane and this was even in a totally different era. Nowadays it is just Utopian. We have none to be at a high level in Europe to aspire for a qualification to the Olympics.   W Handball is really the most obvious chance in a long shot. The U17 girls showed last summer that it is possible, who knows maybe in Brisbane if the planets allign well.    Paris 2024 was a nightmare I do not want to remember. The worst games I experienced in my life. point.
    • Khm, do we know the fate of the  license in pairs? I did not see confirmation of their entry.   If they fail  must get full license (team + individual) and one more place for team event will be available, am I correct?
    • Honestly, we did not expect more than 8. 2 additional places happened just becaues your double could not grab it due to the injury(?).
    • Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
    • Biathlon (6 - 2W; 4M)   Anastasia Tolmacheva Andreea Mezdrea (our media put her in)   George Buta Raul Flore Dmitri Shamaev George Coltea   Bobsleigh (4M + 1 reserve)   Constantin Dinescu George Iordache Mihai Păcioianu Mihai Tentea     Figure Skating (1W)   Julia Sauter - flag bearer       Luge (7 - 3W; 4M)   Corina Buzatoiu Carmen Manolescu Raluca Stramaturaru   Denis Serban Marian Gîtlan Eduard Craciun Valentin Cretu     Ski Jumping (4 - 2W; 2M)   Delia Floea Daniela Haralambie   Daniel Cacina Mihnea Spulber   Alpine skiing (2 - 1W; 1M)   Sofia Moldovan   Alexandru Stefanescu   Nordic skiing (3 - 1W; 2M)   Delia Reit   Paul Pepene Gabriel Cojocaru   Snowboard (2W)   Kata Mandel Henrietta Bartalis   For me it’s a very special edition because two of my friends (Edi Craciun and Gabi Cojocaru) made it. So fingers crossed for them and for the whole delegation.   We don’t expect to much as usual in winter games (1-2 top 10 - luge team, women’s doubles luge, 2man bobsleigh, and maybe Julia Sauter if she will skate clean both programs)
