Biathlon IBU World Championships 2023

[Monzanator 4,499]

Samuelsson took the lane that hasn't cleared the targets yet so he had to move over. And that clearly unsettled him. Italy will hang on for bronze.

Samuelsson again and again with meltdowns in relays

At this point the IBU could create new rules exclusively for JTB, like longer penalty loops or something, because it looks too easy for him

Nice race, well deserved medals, our team did very good, more than 4th place was not possible, but still very solid performance.

In fairness, it would be rather newsworthy if someone won every single event in their gender at any world championship. It’s one thing to be the best on a single day, other thing entirely to be the outright best on multiple days, across multiple distances, and different weather conditions. 

Absolutely, I meant the 'most medals' thing is a bit of a commentator's hype in a sport where events are added all the time  Obviously nobody was going to win 5+ medals in a time when there were 4 events.

 

Winning every single event is the opposite in those terms: more events means it only gets harder and so, purely statistically, is an even better performance.

That's actually true. He even did so without a rifle, he just stared at the targets for a bit and they decided to all go down.

Ah yes, good old Chuck. Still the only one who won the pursuit before starting in the Sprint

According to NRK Elvira Oeberg could be back in the relay tomorrow.
