I used to think mass starts was actually 10k back then no, it's always been over 12.5km... however, I made a quick search and those are all the women's Mass Start races gone beyond 40 mins* (the only Olympic race is the already mentioned Turin 2006, the first Olympic Mass Start race ever)...

RobtheAggie 340 Posted January 2, 2020 #303 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The US has announced that only 4 have automatically qualified for the next two races. U.S. women's : Clare Egan (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) Susan Dunklee (Barton, Vt.). U.S. men: Sean Doherty (Center Conway, N.H.) Leif Nordgren (Hinesburg, Vt.) The rest of the nominations for the opening World Cup events of 2020 will be determined by the International Team Selection Trials taking place Jan. 6-7, in Arber, Germany. At the conclusion of those trials, additional athletes will be named to the World Cups 4-5 as well as the teams competing at IBU Cups 4-7. Athletes competing at the International Team Selection Trials on the women's side are Emily Dreissigacker (Morrisville, Vt.), Joanne Reid (Grand Junction, Colo.), Hallie Grossman (South Burlington, Vt.), Kelsey Dickinson (Winthrop, Wash.), Maddie Phaneuf (Old Forge, N.Y.) and Deedra Irwin (Pulaski, Wis.). Competing in the men's trials will be Alex Howe (Gilford, N.H.), Jake Brown (Saint Paul, Minn.), Travis Cooper (Kenai, Alaska), Lars Hammernes Leopold (Truckee, Calif.), Paul Schommer (Appleton, Wis.), Max Durtschi (Ketchum, Idaho) and Raleigh Goessling (Duluth, Minn.). This has been a very disappointing season on the World Cup so far for the US. There have been good individual moments on the IBU Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 340 Posted January 2, 2020 #304 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Russian biathlete Olga Podchufarova has applied for Slovenian citizenship and if she gets the go-ahead and the procedure is fast-tracked, she could come out of retirement to compete for Slovenia at the upcoming Pokljuka World Cup Biathlon in late January.

RobtheAggie 340 Posted January 6, 2020 #309 Share Posted January 6, 2020 A few thoughts about the first three weekends: Surprises: Tiril Eckhoff - I doubt anyone saw her success coming. Swiss Women - The best season that I can remember is a long time French Teams - Very deep on both sides. As I mentioned earlier, it is odd to see in a sprint finish French men overtake Martin Fourcade. Disappointments: US teams - 9 total athletes - 36 total world cup points, ouch! Benny Weger - While the Swiss women have done well, the men have not. German Women - Although they did better at Le Grand Bonnard, their first two weekends were really poor. I am looking forward to seeing the racing this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been a very disappointing season on the World Cup so far for the US. There have been good individual moments on the IBU Cup. So the two day trial at Arber finished today. One the women's side: Hallie Grossman (South Burlington, Vt.) and Emily Dreissigacker (Morrisville, Vt.) will race in the IBU World Cups at Oberhof, Ruhpolding, Germany and Pokljuka, Slovakia. One the men's side: Paul Schommer (Appleton, Wis.) and Jake Brown (Saint Paul, Minn.) who have both made the podium in the IBU Cup this season have been named to the WC team. That makes the following in the next 4 IBU Cup spots: The U.S. women's roster for the next four IBU Cup events will consist of Deedra Irwin (Pulaski, Wis.), Joanne Reid (Grand Junction, Colo.), Kelsey Dickinson (Winthrop, Wash.) and Maddie Phaneuf (Old Forge, N.Y.). The men's IBU Cup team will be Max Durtschi (Ketchum, Idaho), Alex Howe (Gilford, N.H.), Travis Cooper (Kenai, Alaska) and Lars Hammernes Leopold (Truckee, Calif.). Raleigh Goessling (Duluth, Minn.) will serve as the team's first alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
