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.

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.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
