It´s official Osrblie will host the next 2 stages of the IBU Cup, this weekend the shortened individuals (Frday) and sprints (Sunday) and then also the next weekend to replace the stage originally scheduled in Poland, but because of lack of snow the IBU decided to award the stage to (repsectively keep it in) Osrblie also for the next week with mixed relays (wednesday) Sprints (Friday) and pursuits (Saturday)

 

Some interesting names are on the start lists like Erik Lesser, Roman Rees, Philipp Navrath,  Fredrik Gjesbakk, Karoline Knotten, Synoeve Solemdal, Ekaterina Glazyrina, Anastasia Porshneva, Anastasia Merkushina or Veronika Vítková etc.. , also the next stage will be the official retiring race of Matej Kazár

 

More about the upcomming races can be found here, in Slovakian, so google translate required :p 37 nations will participate including Mongolia https://www.biatlon-info.sk/spravodajstvo/ibu-cup/1198-osrblie-caka-dvojita-porcia-desiatich-pretekov-my-postavime-mnozstvo-nadeji

Lesser with a decent day, two misses and is currently in 5th place.  Good to see A. Cisar have a good race, 1 miss and 2:37 back.  Jimenez from Argentina started with 5 misses and only missed 4 more times during the race.  We also had someone from Spain today.

    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto is 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 is already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track.
    • 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)
