I know, I was talking about not so great yesterday to much better today.  I wonder if those who have dome the Mass Start 60 statistically do better in the 1-30 slots or 31-60.  I know that the sample size is very small, and the better ones are usually in the top 30, but is there an advantage of one over the other?

No idea in terms of stats, but I'd say 1-30 is better because first of all that group has the better athletes and second, they can shoot earlier in the race, so have an (unfair) advantage.

Congregations to Birkenland.  I think those who thought Bourgeois Republic would come in a blow everyone away at the IBu Cup, and there were some, have realised how hard the steps up in competition are.

 

I love the long process, there are some who come in and make a splash and do very well at the next me el, but for most, there is a slow process.

Semenov of Ukraine takes the men's short individual. 1 miss helped him win by 50 seconds.  Travis Cooper started the race.  Had had been #4 for the US in the first two WC events.  Paul Schommer who had been doing well so far this season missed 8 shots to finish 6:55 back.

 

Women going now.

Odd that conditions are so poor at Obertilliach.  Usually one of the colder venues.

Yeah, because the track itself is right between some mountain ridges in a 'cold spot' --> if it's sunny, I believe the sun still never really gets on the track, apart from maybe the edge somewhere (and the wax cabins)

    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
