Anastasiia Porshneva from Russia (no. 97 in tomorrow's sprint) is from this city. Fun fact. I didn't think anyone ever made it out.

That's it.   Kaisa Makarainen has announced retirement today.   I'm losing my favourite athlete of all time and I doubt that I'll ever find a biathlete that I can support more than

What a shame, we nearly had a historical competition for Lithuania, where all three athletes would have made the pursuit.   Unfortunately, Kaukėnas will fall down to 61st   But, it

Funnily enough Porshneva got plenty of coverage in today's sprint since she was the only one in contention for a good result from that final group. She finished 29th.

 

Heavy fog in Oberhof today. Only 3/100 shot 10/10 - Marte Olsbu, Emma Lunder and F.Tachizaki.

 

Olsbu won by 33 secs. ahead of Herrmann and 47 secs. ahead of J.Simon. Wierer 4th , Eckhoff 5th, Lunder 7th which could be her PB?

 

Monika Hojnisz 8th, Kamila Zuk 9th so first time two :POL get a Top 10 in the same race this season and also secure a spot in Mass Start on Sunday.

Terrible director of TV coverage today.

 

Though, guess that fog could've made his/her job more difficult.

 

Well, German rounds are notoriously focused on the best athletes from top nations and ignore the minor nations until the final group when it's all usually decided. Obviously Kamila Zuk got zero coverage on the range and Hojnisz would have been the same if she had a lower bib. Hell, they barely showed Wierer as well until the last loop.

Bah!  I would put Charleroi, Belgium up against any city on the planet as the most depressing place in the world!  OK, it was never the capital of the Gulag, but the huge disused steelworks in the middle of town  and the numerous slag-heaps in suburbs give it an atmosphere all of its own.

 

Dunno why we keep going to Oberhof, really.  Weather is always terrible, there’s never any snow,  and crowds are never that great by modern standards.

Well, Arber is in Bavaria and that would rather replace Ruhpolding which won't really happen. Besides Idk how the economy works there, the alpine skiing World Cup in Zwiesel has been discontinued some time ago and it's basically in the same mountain valley where the biathlon takes place IIRC.

Yeah, I suppose German TV money is to biathlon what NBC money is to the Olympics so we have to go to Germany twice a year even though somewhere like Nove Mesto would nowadays get a better crowd & more modern TV friendly tracks.

Nove Mesto wasn't even a regular feature on the tour during Koukalova's heyday. It's DOA now. Likewise the French round which was non-existent for majority of Fourcade's dominance and the women's team winning a lot too. IBU is lucky enough the Russian round is off the calendar due to all the doping crap or else we wouldn't see Annecy on the schedule whatsoever.

Arber is in no way big enough for a World Cup. Zwiesel is around the corner indeed, all centered around Bodenmais (where the crystal globes are made, fun fact).

I agree that it was a very strange race for lots of reasons.  Does the IBU need Germans to be good for money and sponsors reasons?  It seems so.

 

Dunklee for the US finally had a good day.  14th place, no idea if she will make the mass start.

      Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.

      Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

      Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
