During the men's sprint they announced that next week will be in Brezno-Osrblie.  

Wait what? Brezno gets three consecutive weeks?  And why?

Only thing I could imagine is lack of snow.

I don´t think it´s true. Who said that ?

 

I mean, yes Osrblie finally received back the A-licence to organize WC/WCH event last year (they lost their A-Licence in 2009) so.the venue was eligible to host only the B-events like IBU Cup/JWCH etc.. and had to wait 10 years to finally receive it back, but as I heard somewhere there was room for our federation to apply for a World Cup races only from December 2022 to March 2026  

 

However, I can not find any news about this right now, but I will continue to check our special biathlon site, maybe they will update there something about.

Osrblie already saved IBU ass this week when they agreed to replace Duszniki for the IBU Cup

If you go watch the replay on Eurovision, I think it is around 25 min in.  They were talking about a French biathlete when it was mentioned.  

 

I agree that it was odd.  It was said almost in passing.

maybe they just confused Slovakia with Slovenia (next WC stage is schedulled in Pokljuka), it happens more often than one would think.

Eurosport also mentioned that Kuehn has his PB in Pokljuka, so he probably won't be happy, since the tour is moving to Slovakia and that Slovenia is cancelled.

 

I was also extremely confused, went to check the schedule and it's Pokljuka still...

Ruhpolding has such an amazing crowd! (unlike Le Grand Bornand)

 

What a race by the French again

This is the comment that I heard.  So who knows.  Nothing on any social media or any websites.  Sorry for the false alarm.
