RobtheAggie 340 Posted January 17, 2020 #432 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Good relay. Lots of changes in the lead. Germany in relay for a good portion of the race and kept the fans really enthused. Does anyone know where a list of the Class A and Class B venues is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really find any list AFAIK but there are the usual World Cup suspects that are automatically 'A' listed. Raubichi and Otepaa have been granted the 'A' license as they will host World Cup races in the Olympic season (I assume they are long-term replacements for the banned Russian vanues in Khanty-Mansiysk & Tyumen). The only IBU 'A' licence venue that is unlikely to host any World Cup races soon in Lenzerheide but they are more focused on the alpine skiing anyway. So the way I see it the 'A' list is: Ostersund Hochfilzen Le Grand Bornand Oberhof Ruhpolding Pokljuka Anterselva Oslo-Holmenkollen Kontiolahti Nove Mesto Canmore Presque Isle Soldier Hollow Pyeongchang Minsk-Raubichi Otepaa Lenzerheide RobtheAggie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 340 Posted January 18, 2020 #434 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Thank you so much. I wonder here and n the US if Fort Kent still has an A. Lake Placid and Valcartier in Canada might as well. I would assume that Jericho, Bozeman, West Yellowstone, and Auburn, Can have a B. There are a few note that if there is a C, they would have that. Canada has around a dozen or so that host local to national events. I wonder if Nagano has kept their venue up? Also Beijing, (I forgot the actual name) would need to be A when it is finished. I appreciate the list a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,845 Posted January 18, 2020 #435 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Lenzerheide definitely should get a World Cup though, at least a good shot at it. Facilities are excellent, it's (relatively, for a biathlon venue) easy to reach.

heywoodu 13,845 Posted January 18, 2020 #436 Share Posted January 18, 2020 And doesn't Beijing have an A license? Or just not yet? Since they're getting a World Cup in the pre-Olympic season (and well, the Olympics ).
