Kind of like what happened in the 1950s when a player defected.  Rest of team back to the Motherland under armed guard for interrogations & an unexpected change of career.  :woot:

 

yeah with all the borders closed, flights banned, markets closed...it´s really like pre1989 all over again

Yup, so the nail-biting relays are not going to happen.

 

For the first time in Lithuanian history, we finish our season in 16th place on the men's side.

 

This means that we will have 4 quotas for our men in every race now.

 

10 years ago our biathlon team was Diana Rasimovičiūtė, less than 10 years ago we had 1 quota for our men. It's truly an amazing feeling to see our small team achieve this, too bad that the women's team is slowly falling apart.

Martin Fourcade is retiring, tomorrow will be his last race (if the pursuits aren't cancelled of course).

Like him or not, I am grateful to have seen him compete.  Two major stars retire in the last two years on the men's side.  Some of the most decorated ever.

But why do they have to go back Saturday? I mean, what's the difference with going back Sunday if all foreign flights (with apparently a government exception) are finished anyway?

As I've said plenty of times, I've never been a fan of Fourcade, but the guy is one of the most exception athletes (overall, especially winter of course) of the past two decades. I hope QFM and Jacquelin can step it up, or else Fourcade's dominance is going to look like nothing compared to JTB's.

They wanted to do it obviously as soon as possible, with the athletes, coaches and staff the plane will bring back home also the 3 TV reporters of our TV in Kontiolahti.

I still don't really know why they wouldn't go after the pursuits, since it doesn't seem to make an actual difference, but sure :p

I'm confused, the last 2 days the sprints were at 17:30 Finnish time but 15:30 in most of Europe, so isn't the men's pursuit supposed to start now? (13:45 Finnish time)

Because on TV right now they're saying it's in 2 hours.

Edit: I'm guessing they changed the time of the races since they're the last ones of the season?

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
