Interesting women's team for Germany this WC round:

 

Marion Deigentesch (World Cup debut)

Maren Hammerschmidt

Denise Herrmann 

Janina Hettich

Vanessa Hinz 

Franziska Preuss

 

It's the first time since Presque Isle in the 16/17-season Franziska Hildebrand has not been selected for a WC.  

 

Anna Weidel should have been there too.

Glad for Doll.  Do you think Germany needs to be relevant for Biathlon to be profitable?  I am thinking TV, sponsors, etc.  

 

I love the finish, slight downhill.  They can fly into the finish.

Davidova 10/10. Vittozzi 9/10, Herrmann 8/10.

Impressive Eckhoff

Eckhoff denies Braisaz despite 9/10!

Very similar to mine, we share seven atheletes.

I also share seven with @heywoodu, but one of them is different than yours.

This has been three races to forget from on individual standpoint for the US.  I think between all 9 who have raced, they collectively has less than 20 points.  A few decent results in relays, but not much.  If a miracle happens and one of them wins the pursuit, very very unlikely, they might get into the mass start.

Amazing crowds today, well done les bouffe-grenouilles!
