Not often someone outskis Herrman.

Then again, of those who did so today (Røiseland, Mironova, Wierer and Davidova) only Davidova is sort of surprising. It's still a 5th course time for Herrmann :p

Very disappointing day for the US racers.  Wierer is flying on her shooting so far this season.  

 

Fourcade missed two, and it he did not, even one less and he would have been at the top.  Good to see Dale ski so well.  

 

So at the other end, Apostolos Angelis of Greece has not started either race, Sjusjoen or Oestersund.  Any idea why?  It is not too often that he gets a chance to be on the World Cup.

 

One last thing, the Lithuanian uniforms look good.

Were you aware the World Cup started last week? :p

Looking forward to the Individual today.  There is something special about this event.  A direct tie to the original biathlon races, there is something about a 1 min penalty.

 

A few interesting racers from the start line.

 

J Burkhalter raced last week on the IBU Cup for Switzerland.

J Dale has a very late start time.

A Cisar makes his WC debut today.

Smaller biathlon nations who will be represented -  Greece, Croatia, Belgium, Latvia.

 

Also, Fourcade won the first individual race last season, one of only two wins for him in the season.

When I started watching 20 years ago, almost every weekend was Individual + Sprint + Relay.

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
