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

According to Sebastian Krystek, editor-in-chief of Biathlon.pl, working also for Polish Biathlon Federation - for the first time in history with NO POINTS in a Women's World Cup event.

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.

      @hckošice, even though Tomankova lost, she had a good fight against Costa, I think soon she and Babulfath will be the stars of -48kg.
