Oh wait, we don't have more than two women that are eligible to start in the World Cup I do wonder if we will see Michela Carrara in one of those unused spots by the end of the season. She was decent in the IBU Cup last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was decent in the IBU Cup last season. Karin Oberhofer was doing fine and didn't get a chance before her retirement. Alexia Runggaldier had issues with health as far as I know, was trying to make a comeback, but not many chances taken on her either. Italy doesn't like to send full squads.

RobtheAggie 340 Posted November 27, 2019 #24 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I like the colors. A first glance, they looked leather. My thought was, that is one way to stand out. Werloc and Olympian1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fan of the new uniforms. Biathlon uniforms are generally pretty good anyways, but there are great. I love to see countries take risk with their uniform designs. Athletes with awesome kits can win me over pretty quick. Nothing beats the Mexican sugar scull skiing kit from Pyeongchang though, or Kumar’s luge kit from Pyeongchang. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

There's hardly any more exotic nation in biathlon competition and they manage to get the most boring, easy to miss suit there is.

heywoodu 13,562 Posted November 28, 2019 #29 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Lukasz Szczurek throwing his name in the fight for athlete with the shittiest name for people writing about biathlon, he's joining Jakub Strcvctrckctecky, the young and annoyingly quite talented Czech.

I double up the shitty level, Szczurek means "Little Rat" in Polish Obviously his name is basically unpronounceable for any non-Slavic throat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
