Well, did one for the men, so it's fair to also do one for the women's individual and see if we're gonna get another long list of successful athletes:

 

Third best result for Julia Schwaiger from Austria in 19th

 

Personal best for another Austrian, Christina Rieder in 21st

 

World Cup debut for Belgian Lotte Lie in 53rd

 

Third best result for Canadian Emma Lunder in 10th position.

 

Second best result for Canadian Nadia Moser in 79th

 

Second World Cup start for Emily Dickson of Canada and 83rd place

 

World cup debut for Chinese Ying Qu in 85th

 

Another Chinese Hongru Chen also started in her first race ever and finished 99th

 

Second best result for German Janina Hettich, finished in 26th place

 

Third best result for Italian youngster Michela Carrara in 59th place

 

Second best performance for Latvian Julija Matvijenko in 93rd place

 

Personal best result for Karoline Erdal of Norway in 78th 

 

Personal best for Polish Anna Maka in 71st

 

Second best result for Ana Larisa Cotrus of Romania in 97th 

 

Second best result for Larisa Kuklina of Russia in 13th

 

Third best result for another Russian Kristina Reztsova in 27th

 

A personal best for Swiss sister Aita Gasparin, finishing in high 9th place

 

Personal best result for Veronika Machyniakova of Slovakia in 70th

 

World cup debut for Anna Hedstrum of Sweden in 88th

 

Second best result for Clare Egan of USA in 6th

 

That's definitely a very long list of good racing for a lot of these women. Seems like the individual is a forgiving format in reaching personal bests :)

Met her in the IBU Cup in Arber, another example of a very friendly athlete :d Not the best English in the world (but probably a lot better than most Chinese people), but througout the weekend there I don't think I've seen her walk or talk without a big smile. Worth an extra cheer :cheer: 

 

Great to see her make her World Cup debut (well, individually, she already was in a relay a few weeks ago), hopefully she can keep improving!

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
