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:

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
