Monzanator 4,181 Posted January 10, 2020 #331 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) 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 has a shot at some WC points. Vytautas Strolia only 1:50 behind Fourcade with 1 miss! @Werloc will be satisfied Edited January 10, 2020 by Monzanator Werloc and Biathlonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Monzanator 4,181 Posted January 10, 2020 #337 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Fourcade, Jacquelin & Kuehn on the podium. Good day for Doherty 21st, Nordgren 26th. ( @RobtheAggie should be satisfied?). Great day for Strolia 20th, Dombrovski 36th. RobtheAggie and Biathlonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 3,233 Posted January 10, 2020 #338 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Just catching up now and all my prophecies of DOOM for Oberhof yesterday are being fulfilled. There was a picture today of a rubber bath duck in one of the shooting range ponds. . Just hope they have enough snow in a warehouse somewhere for the weekend.

Werloc 3,152 Posted January 11, 2020 #340 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Well, I was working today, but I of course, managed to find a way to somewhat track the men's sprint on my phone 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 dcro, ahjfcshfghb and Bohemia 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
