Paulina Fialkova finished 77th today. It's not like she would be starting in the pursuit anyway :lol: The rest of the Slovakian team, well, they have nothing to compete for anymore either.

 

Not sure if this was the reason obviously, but they got the news just a hour before the race

Kind of like what happened in the 1950s when a player defected.  Rest of team back to the Motherland under armed guard for interrogations & an unexpected change of career.  :woot:
