I'm tired of Fourcade and Boe, eleven wins in twelve races.

 

Futile most likely, but hope they both fail completely at WC.

 

Well, World Championships often tend to not benefit the favourites with its extra pressure and other athletes come through with wins.

Great job from dombrovskis,Vytautas wasn t too bad either, i m sure he will do way  better when the next sprint arrives,a bit sad this wasn t a sprint,we would of had too great results, to go for  he pursiut but of course,there is no pursiut here like how there wasn t a pursuit when tomas was 31 and vytautas was 20th in the sprint,instead we have mix relays that won t go anywhere for Lithuania because of the woman,Oh well,there will still be chances.Honestly i think there could be some great results at  the world championships,i agree with werloc,i am worried about tomas,something clearly just isn t right,which sucks because i was expeting the most frrom him after a great first start of season.I m pretty excited about the world championships, and hope everything will work out.

Well, this race was pretty special. IBU posts the three best results of each athlete on their page, so I did a little bit of digging and today lead to:

 

Debut World cup performance for Patrick Jakob of Austria in 91st

 

The best ever placement for Tom Lahaye-Goffart of Belgium in 98th

 

The second best performance for Maksim Varabei of Belarus in 28th

 

The best ever performance for Jinle Tang of China in 43rd

 

The second best performance for Estonian youngster Robert Heldna in 106th

 

The third best performance of Jaakko Ranta of Finland in 80th

 

The personal best of Fabien Claude from France in 3rd

 

The personal best result of Philipp Nawrath of Germany in 4th

 

The best result of Italian youngster Daniele Cappellari in 67th

 

The best result of Japanese Kazuki Baisho in 95th

 

Second best performance of Kosuke Ozaki of Japan in 54th

 

Second best performance from Karol Dombrovski of Lithuania in 33rd

 

Second best performance of Johannes Dale from Norway in 5th

 

Second best performance of Eduard Latypov of Russia in 24th

 

A World Cup debut for Russian Kirill Streltsov in respectable 17th place

 

Second best performance for Slovenian Rok Trsan in 31st

 

Third best performance for Slovakian Michal Sima in 50th

 

Personal best of another Slovakian Simon Bartko in 44th

 

World Cup debut for Oskar Brandt of Sweden in 104th

 

Personal best for Ukranian Bogdan Tsymbal in 65th

 

This race was truly SPECIAL and a lot of men pulled out their best on the track and shooting range to become better than they ever were or peaked at their best.A celebration of Biathlon in Pokljuka  :)

Fabien Claude talks about his missing dad.  What a sad story.

I find it a bit sad that they don't mention it's his first World Cup podium and his first ever race in which he hit all 20 targets. I know that's not the important thing, but it makes his result even more special right after hearing the news the night before.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
