Speaking of Obergs - and the days when Kamila Zuk was the hottest junior instead of Davidova

If Häcki can slowly get her shooting under control better, so can Zuk.

Hacki's last season was worse than 2017/18 for whatever reason. Kamila Zuk has everything she needs to become successful, we even phased Krystyna Guzik out of the A team for both her and Kinga Zbylut to have a full crack at the World Cup. No excuses if she can't score Top 40 results on regular basis.

In which regard? Because not in terms of points, results, shooting, skiing speed or even relay performances.

Sorry I meant 2016/17. I still feel like that was her best season and some of 18/19 results were inflated due to people skipping the North American trip.

Not her best ones though, since they came in Antholz, Ruhpolding and Nove Mesto. Not exactly North American

I don't mean what Haecki gained but what other people lost which makes the difference

So late to the party again.  The Swiss women's team was great yesterday.  I think that it was not a fluke as well.  They can do that again, and again, and again.  The US men and Women did about what I expected.  Two years ago Doherty and Norgren were #3 and #4 for the US, now they are #1 and #2, and neither have really improved much.  Howe is serviceable, but Cooper is not quick on his skis.  The US women do good for the first two legs, then slowly slide back.  I think that 10th is about where they are now.  

 

Looking forward to more racing.

Dear oh dear, Fourcade not interested.

 

It was interesting how he did not really even attempt to chase down JTB.

I think he tried for a few meters and then saw (and felt!) JTB was just going too fast. Sometimes you have to take the loss
