Geez, will Eckhoff even make the 60?

 

Eckhoff 59th, 2.08.0 behind Roeiseland...saving her Pursuit start for just 3.5 secs (:CAN Megan Banks is the unlucky 61st)...

I wonder if Eckhoff pulls out of the pursuit tbh.

 

I don't think so...

it's not only about the actual world champs, as she already has 3 scores of "0" (or DNS...it's the same) in the World Cup...

she needs to climb the ranking and score some WC points if she doesn't want Wierer to take a big lead before the next weeks' races...

I expect her to start on Sunday and go "all in"...

 

p.s. weather conditions are expected to change once again from Sunday...the forecast is for a significant raise of the temperature, which will change a lot of things in the snow and in the ski preparation...

Lithuanian rewiew. Seeing natalija on the screen floored me,seein that she shot clean on the prone,even more so. really wanted her to shoot clean,but that might have been too much to ask in those kind of conditions, especially with so many of the leaders having huge meltdowns.still 34th place,seasons best result,first world cup points of the season, I wish her the best of luck in the pursiut, move up a few places, or atleast not to fall compleatly to the bottom like last time,just to make the critics in Lithuania shut up, she was 27th last year, so this kind of performance isn t a miracle,the other two dind t do too bad in terms of the shooting,the younger one especially just needs years to work on her speed.

Ivona Fialková equalled today her PB finishing in 9th place. The only and last time she was in the top 10 was in the Oslo 2015 World Cup sprint when she also finished on 9th place but then she had 0+0, today she was 0+1 (incredible that without that very last missed target she would likely won bronze lol)

 

At least this may (considering she will be able to repeat +/- this result also in the Pursuit) open her the door also for the Mass Start at the WCh

 

She became today the 9th Slovak biathlete ever to finish in top 10 at WCH (after Mihoková, Halinárová, Murínová, Matiaško, Hurajt, Kuzmina, Gereková and her older sister Paulína)

 

 

but what is the more important is that today, she fulfilled the criterias for inclusion in the Slovak Sport Top Team, ie she will receive extra funding from our Ministry of Education, Sciences and Sports to prepare for the next two seasons (and join her sister there) !!! So happy for her congrats Ivka ! :clap:

Several of the big guns missing a ton of targets contributed to some second tier athletes overperforming.

 

Sadly that wasn't the case for Kamila Zuk who missed four in the prone before going clear in the stands. One of these days she will hit 10/10.

 

Btw, Tomasz Sikora said yesterday Olsbu had her rifle repaired before the WChamps since somtething was wrong with it. Guess whatever they did, it worked pretty well :p

Very happy (and surprised) for Susan Dunklee and Lucie Charvátová ! :clap: I hope that the latter will continue her good results for the end of the year and in future years.

    • How wonderful!   I met the national rowing (and beach rowing) coach of EST/LTU/LAT on the way to ice hockey one day, who's Canadian by the way. I also flew home on the same flight as JC Schoonmaker's mom and friends, so we chatted for a bit.
    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
