Polish National TV - TVP sport - haven't noticed Pidruchny performance much, no interview with him or his coach, only talking to Boe brothers and Polish athletes. Sad.

 

His father was a soldier stationing with Soviet Army in Legnica, Poland in 1980s. His sister Olena Pidruchna was born in Legnica.

:NOR how they do it?

 

their D.N.A. rocks or sth??? 😉

Helps when you are one of two countries that Cares about this Sport and actually has enough Snow to Train for it (the other Country being Sweden). Finland, USA, Canada don’t care about this sport and Russia isnt allowed to compete. The norwegian dominance in Sports like Cross-country skiing, biathlon, Nordic combined or alpine skiing will only get bigger thanks to Climate change. I Wonder if they will manage to win 50+ medals at a Single Winter Olympics before the winter olympics will finally be abandoned. It is completely absurd for a Country like Germany to finance Sports like alpine skiing or Cross-Country skiing.

Good performance from our young guns today. Sadly the one who should have been the best (Jakov Fak) doesn't even make the pursuit. Like Anamarija, Polona and a few others he was ill and has said in the post race interview that in the second lap he started hurting. He knew that he wasn't going to make a good time. On a positive side, Anamarija has confirmed that she will be starting tomorrow so there's that. Dunno what she can do, being so far down, but it seems like she will use it as practice, as she said her only goal is to not be caught by Denise. 

 

We have a good young core. Here's hoping Ricco Gross stays for the whole olympic cycle and they keep improving together. They've already made a huge progress this season, and that's with Ricco not knowing the team at all before the start. It should only get better from here. 

 

As for the race itself. It was interesting seeing them race in such conditions. Our commentators said it was on the edge of regularity. I think we all expected way more missed shots, thus giving a chance to someone with a higher bib if the conditions would get better. As usual it didn't happen. JTB was also super lucky today. I think he hit at least 4 or 5 shots on the edge. Every one of them could have gone wide. Especially in the standing. Overall 5 NOR flags in top 6. One for the ages. Clearly they're doing something right.

Am old enough to remember when the big question was “What can we do about German dominance in women’s biathlon?”

And people found the answer to that - just convince their 2 most dominant athletes to retire at age 25. :p

1) I think the two Main Reasons why german women Used to dominate Biathlon and speed skating were:

a) Some of them still benefiting from the Former GDR system 

b) Other countries (Norway, Netherlands) Not Realizing their potential 

 

2) I don’t See any reason why Norway should fall off a Cliff. USA and Canada could challenge them, but they don’t care about Biathlon. Russia as well could challenge them, But of Course it is impossible to predict when they will be back. 
 

3) People shouldnt forget that just one year ago Fillon Maillet was on the Same Level as Boe. The french men Overall have Been Weaker this year + Germany Lost Almost all of their Top Guys in just 2 or 3 years (Schempp, Peiffer, Lesser) + Austria has become irrelevant. I could definitely See some Young guys like Giacomel Breaking their dominance soon.

 

4) We shouldn’t forget that Norwegian women are clearly weaker than they used to be.

 

Norway probably has the most potential going forward thanks to climate change and their tradition, but I don’t think that they will remain as dominant.

:ITA Lisa Vittozzi DNS in pursuit due to illness...

Meaning Bendika would likely be in now (if Lampic is indeed not going to start) and Kozica would only need four more withdrawals if biathlon would have rules that make sense. Ugh.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
    • And this with relatively small fields, so lots of nations with no skin in the game.
