Yes and by far.   His previous pb was two 21st places at World Cup in Pokljuka 2014 WC sprint and in Anterselva 2018 Sprint as well.     Btw a small fun fact about Martin Otče

4 penalty loops and 19 missed shots from France - and the French women used to be famous for shooting!

 

The most annoying thing is that France was historically very successful in relays at Antholz and that's what baited me to pick them for first :wall:

I'm not a fan of the new Dutch domination (though it is limited to less events) but I'd prefer seeing them make a sweep rather than the British frauds :)

 

Concerning Norway, well :)

 

Me neither, at least not when it'd be NED - NED in the final. That's just boring.

Being invisible for years and dominating in a few weeks is more suspicious than boring :p

Track cycling is heavily dependant on facilities. Manchester Velodrome opened in 1994 and GB has turned into a powerhouse since. Hell, even Poland has a velodrome build in 2008 and we've won several track cycling medals in the last decade. It's a low-hanging fruit very similar to luge. The countries that do well in luge are the ones that have build a luge track. Same applies to track cycling.

Britain has five tracks! London, Manchester, Derby, Glasgow & Newport.

the problem with Sanfilippo and Carrara is that it take them a hour or so to release the shots at the range...and they still shoot with shameful percentages...with them, we are lucky if we collect "only" 2 or 3 penalty loops and the max number of recharges...:facepalm:

 

by the way, I must admit that I'm writing this only for superstition...I hope all 4 girls are going to perform at their best so they can end up between 6th and 8th place in the end...;)

 

:coffee:

 

by the way, we started with no.10 and ended up in 10th place...perfect scoring, I'd say...:nopompom:

 

 

p.s. a few news about Loginov's room raid by local police in Anterselva/Antholz...

 

it was the IBU itself that asked for it...:yikes:

 

they went to the judge and asked to allow police to have a deep search because Loginov's personal coach is supposed to travel and sell (other than use for his pupil) doping substances...

 

and that request was made a few days ago, before the championship started...

 

then, here burocracy is what it is and it took more than a week for the police to be allowed to make today's room...

 

that's the story so far (and how it's been told by Italian Eurosport commentators)...

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
