Biathlon IBU World Cup 2019 - 2020


Recommended Posts

Boe basically lost one minute on going back to complete the loop. Still better than the 2 min penalty if he skipped it alltogether.

 

Don't look now but :LTU has a shot at some WC points. Vytautas Strolia only 1:50 behind Fourcade with 1 miss!

 

@Werloc will be satisfied :p

What s with the schoked reaction monzanator ?

 

I didn't realize we have two Lithuanian biathlon fans in this thread :p

 

Tomasz Sikora noticed Strolia's result and calls it the biggest shock of the race so far ;) For obvious reasons Karol Dombrovski used to get a quick mention from time to time (and Diana Rasimovicuite when she was still racing but mainly due to her marriage to Bricis).

I actually only started actively  watching this season, but I do enjoy watching it, and supporting the Lithuanians, dombrovski is also doing well, dind t know that rasimoviciute married a latvian biathlete and a succesfull one too. Biahtlon for me asociates with the fact that Lithuania almost won an olympic medal in it in 2014. it would of been the first one ever.

Good day for :USA Doherty 21st, Nordgren 26th. ( @RobtheAggie should be satisfied?).

 

Great day for :LTU Strolia 20th, Dombrovski 36th.

Just catching up now and all my prophecies of DOOM for Oberhof :old: yesterday are being fulfilled.  There was a picture today of a rubber bath duck in one of the shooting range ponds. :d.  Just hope they have enough snow in a warehouse somewhere for the weekend. :fingers:

They shipped the snow from World Team Challenge in Gelsenkirchen over to Oberhof ;)

Well, I was working today, but I of course, managed to find a way to somewhat track the men's sprint on my phone :d

 

All I can say is that IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!

 

This is history made for Lithuanian biathlon. This is the first time that two Lithuanian biathletes end up with points in a single race, the first time that three Lithuanian biathletes have won points in a season and the highest ever placement for Lithuanian men in World Cup biathlon, because Kaukėnas only ever got inside top 20 in World Championships or Olympics.

 

Vytautas Strolia became a father a couple of hours before the race started, there's a whole interview about that one now that I'll head to read right now.

 

This is also the second time in Karol's career that he enters a Top 40.

 

Also, I had this joke with my friend and I said that Lithuanian men will definitely get into points, because we always do, when there's no pursuit afterwards. It's so funny right now :d

    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
