Half of the 2000/01 season was held in Anterselva :p

 

They hosted three rounds in December 2000 replacing Hochfilzen, Pokljuka AND Osrblie :lol: Then in January they hosted their own scheduled round.


Yeah, that must be the one I’m thinking of. I remember they had special graphics up so the races were taking place in a kind of Tintin place called Antholz-Hochfilzen, Antholz-Pokljuka etc etc :d

Following the expulsion of spectators from the World Cup event in Nové Mesto na Moravě (5-8 March) due to the spread of coronavirus, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) has taken further preventive measures.

There will be no press conference at the venue and journalists will have to maintain a minimum distance of one and a half meters from athletes in the mixzone. :p

As SID reported on Tuesday, there will be no formal ceremonies after the race, the only one being a short flower ceremony to award medalists. The entire VIP sector will remain closed, disinfectants will be added in the sanitary facilities.

 

The Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced on Tuesday that the government plans to compensate the prganizing committee for the loss of profit.

Sounds like athletes might have released this virus just to get this done instead of having microphones shoved in their faces :d 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

:POL Kamila Zuk is out of Nove Mesto.

 

She picked up an ankle injury during mixed relay in Raubichi and missed the pursuit there already. Turns out it's something more serious. Anna Maka will replace her in NM (welcome 85th place, bwoah).

Roeiseland is out too.

 

After skipping France her overall Cup chances were almost extinct already. She put all her chips for the World Champs and cashed in.

 

Wierer has almost 100 pts lead in the overall, God knows if Eckhoff recovers from the WCh disaster and Oeberg is very consistent but she needs to rack up wins to close the gap.

Yes, Roeiesland completely vindicated for standing up to the pressure from the Norwegian media: pre-Christmas success is often fool’s gold as we are seeing with Klaebo in the CC as well.

Off we go in brown & empty Nove Mesto.

 

Shooting range looks like a disused coal mine.

 

Oi, how did all those flags get there? :d
 

Denise H goes 5 in the prone, sets up either a win or a disaster.

 

Puskarcikova what a nightmare!  Starts by ejecting two rounds & has to manually feed.

 

Hermann 0-0, that’s the win right there. :cheer:
 

Doro 1 in the,prone & a slow ski, so will be fighting for places for the Pursuit.

Hang on, it is Sprint - Relay - Mass Start this week, so I think this is going to be a throwaway day for Weirer. 
 

If this was Cross Country, Hermann would be setting a new World Record for time in the Comfy Chair, she finishes first.

 

Eckhoff 0-1, that was Hermann’s only threat.

    • Artistic Skating   women's Junior Inline Competition   Gold:  Macarena Pitto Gutiérrez Silver:  Clara Barattoni Bronze:  Sofia De Lazzari   men's Inline Competition   Gold:  Collin Motley Silver:  Chen Yi-Fan Bronze:  David Gutiérrez Bollaìn   Full Results https://www.worldskate.org/results/category/1389-artistic.html?download=6944:inline-senior-men   women's Inline Competition   Gold:  Paula Romaguera Pèrez Silver:  Sofia Ciacia Bronze:  Alessia Bilancioni   as usual, no news of the men's Junior event yet 
    • I'm getting mad!   I thought than here in Italy we had a chance to follow all the events properly, but that's not the case    Italian specialized websites only publish the results of the events where we get at least a medal, WS is late by days in their result section, all the disciplines have some kind of coverage, but some of them are basically amateur pictures, taking with a cell phone (inline slalom, for instance)   I'm very disappointed by the organization and also by the lack of interest in the Italian media...I mean, this is a global event, 15-day long and with many different disciplines....not only, it's one of our best chances to shine in the world of sport (we're basically guaranteed to dominate the medal table, grabbing medals left and right)    but world skate looks to be only interested in the Olympic skateboarding events, which also have a lot of coverage on the Olympic Channel website   personally, instead, i'm only interested in Inline Speedskating and men's Rink Hockey 
    • naaa...that's not sailing, you just can't do it when the waves are high...   however, the weather prediction isn't that good for the next weekend, so you might get even more than what you're asking for 
    • Not team ski cross     And that's coming from someone who absolutely loves watching the ski cross. Team ski cross just adds nothing at all. Whereas athletics relays make for an entirely different dynamic (a 4x100 is a very much different event than the 100m and results are entirely different than if you'd just add up everyone's 100m times), the team ski/snowboard cross is literally just two team members doing their runs back-to-back with no direct exchange or anything.   Just like the luge team event adds nothing at all  
    • Never saw this until now, but yeah… no thanks  (and this is coming from a massive volleyball fan, even para so)   I wouldn’t mind ice climbing, but there’s a couple sports and events (like FreeRide, telemark skiing, and team ski cross) that I’d probably add before. 
    • Oh absolutely, just trying to think of any somewhat valid reason not to score a run. My preference for sure would be to simply score all runs.
    • I would rather all runs be scored, honestly, regardless of the second point. 
    • It's been confirmed that Slovenia  will send only their u19/23 cyclists. So no world tour cyclists at these Euros for us. As for women only Bujak will compete in the pro division. 
    • If run one has a fall on the third hit and run two on the fourth hit, it's very much still in need of scoring both runs to see which one scores best. In terms of the overall, finishing 7th or 8th definitely makes a difference.   The only time a second run might not be scored is if run one was entirely clean (or at least didn't have a fall) and run two did have a fall.
    • Nobody really says that though, and definitely nobody wants that     Fact is, however, that more and more 'traditional' venues will leave the calendar because we as humanity as fucking up the climate.
