Biathlon IBU World Cup 2019 - 2020

[RobtheAggie 340]

A very helpful person at IBU sent me the information on the licenses.  It is very interesting.  I am not sure if a moderator wants to pull all of the venue/licensing talk into another thread, but I will leave that up to smarter people than myself.

 

A license is for 6 years, but can be pulled at any time by the IBU.  

 

There are currently 23 venues that have a Class A license with 4 in what is called "prolongation"   There are currently 21 venues with a Class B license with 5 in the process of prolongation.  Some names are familiar, others are not.  

 

There will be public documents that will come out within the next month or so, but let me say I was surprised by some of the names on the list.   The IBU has has that I not share the names until the public documents come out, sorry.  But if you asked me questions, I might be able to answer them.

I've got a feeling Bariloche and Portillo are not on the list?

I feel like I'm being spoiled, but Lithuania is in points yet again 

 

The only offside is that Tomas looks like a total wreck and even if he does those miracle runs during the World Championships, I don't know if he can lift himself up that much.
