As is tradition, Lithuania sending their full A team.

 

Accompanied with world cup teams from:

 

Estonia

Latvia

Belarus

Ukraine

Bulgaria

Polish and Slovakian men

And everybody else is IBU cup style

 

Though, no Tomas or Vytautas for us in the super sprint tomorrow.

women are also in strong presence, it's basically our A team minus Monika Hojnisz.

 

Apparently due to the last-minute venue change there was no time to prepare the 4 km loop so there will be no individual races in these champs We have the super sprints instead.

No Zuk either, so I only caught on on Gwizdon.

Zuk is skipping super sprint, she will start her champs in Thursday's relay

I like the way we put in all of our slowest shooting men in the super sprint 

[Werloc 3,191]

Our women saved the day.

 

Actually hitting the targets and Kočergina even qualified as nr. 30

IBU graphics really can't handle the fact that the super sprint only has one spare round per shooting bout

I like this event.  I have always been a sucker for the little guy.  This event is that.  Yes Germany, Norway, etc are there, but there are over 30 nationalities racing.  Here is to the little guy!

US lapped in both relays yesterday.  Ouch!  I do not remember the last time that happened.  At least the men, two of whom did not race due to being lapped, should be well rested for Saturday.
