Oh, yeah, also out-of-favour Russians trying to get back into the national squad.

I wonder why a Yuri Shopin for example is in South America though.

Hello  

 

Vasnetcova is going to dominate the women's junior competition, one could assume. Krasimir 'The King of Minor Championships' Anev, how surprising  He should have a good medal shot once again, I'm curious about Yeremin and whether or not he can finally keep his shooting under control a bit. He can't, but you know, hope dies last. Some interesting names in the women's race as well, too bad my favourite Chinese biathlete Qu Ying isn't there.

It is good to see a variety of athletes from various nations who have qualified as of right now, there are 10 for the Jr men, and 10 for the Jr Women including 4 Koreans and 2 Chinese.

Well, it seems that this following season is going to be the exact same as the previous 4-5 years of Lithuanian biathlon

The Super Sprint really is a quick and can be an very exciting event.  I just realized why no US skiers were there.  The US Rollerski Championships just finished.

 

I do wonder of there is such a big discussion about the wheel techs as there is about the ski wax?

When it comes to roller sports it’s material and wheel size that matter. The taller the wheels, the faster you’ll skate. Material can have some small differences too, but generally not enough in the long run to affect much (unless you have stripped wheels, worn down wheels, or too new wheels)
