Crnković once again having a hissy fit on the final shoot. I can see a pattern going on here.

Which is odd because Croatians are generally weak at the start of “gun involved events”, but then comeback rather strong in the back half :p

One very interesting result is the 22nd place of Cheng Fangming  :CHN, at a time when China doesn't seem to have good male prospects heading for their Olympics, he's back from 4 years out of the circuit and get a very decent first appearance in the WC.

Good shooting (18/20) and, despite what we may think at first, promising performance on the skis 33th course time +3.05, beating the likes of Eliseev, Dale, Guigonnat, Samuelsson (and we know you might exceed a certain speed threshold to hope for top 20 and further). Nonetheless, like his fellow countrywomen, too much time lost at the range (92nd range time).

I remember many years ago when, as an experiment the IBU gave a Chinese guy a pair of Norwegian-prepared skis for a weekend. Immediately gained about 30 places over average.

Paulina Fialkova is not on the start list for tomorrow's individual. Do you know the reason?

 

Knee injury, she will pass a MRI today that will say more, but very likely the season is over as well.

 

 

and yeah, no relay in Ostersund for us obviously, probably the whole season as well

Unusual for biathletes to get such an injury, it’s normally a low-impact sport.  Maybe a crash during the summer?

wtf, that has gotten way less attention than it should have :yikes: 

 

By far the worst news of the biathlon season already :(

    • 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.
