Could Italy borrow us those two spots in the World Cup? Oh wait, we don't have more than two women that are eligible to start in the World Cup :cheer:

 

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.

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.

This should be a link to look at the pictures of Lithuania's suits.

I like the colors.  A first glance, they looked leather.  My thought was, that is one way to stand out.

 

I personally thought it was a cool idea to have the arms in yellow and red, leaving green in the middle as a fun way to represent the flag.

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.

Too bad Brazil doesn't understand that and goes with boring white again and again. There's hardly any more exotic nation in biathlon competition and they manage to get the most boring, easy to miss suit there is.

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 :p

 

Obviously his name is basically unpronounceable for any non-Slavic throat :lol:

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • 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 changes 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 small/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"
