Biathlon IBU Open European Championships 2020

DQ for so takes the bronze medal. Hmm... some home cooking or was the DQ warranted? Apparently it was a hindrance on the range?

Valentina Semerenko is now the most accomplished athlete in European Championship history (7 golds, 3 silvers & 1 bronze).

 

Just a reminder Eurosport will broadcast today's women sprint race live.

Ooph, Vytautas Strolia lost the bronze medal by +0.8s 

 

Still, a very magnificent effort by him, especially since he didn't roll over during the last lap and fought till the end.

 

This is the best ever result since two silver medals from Diana Rasimovičiūtė back in 2010.

Strolia and Rastorgujevs blow it on the 2nd shooting in the pursuit.

 

Bocharnikov leads by 27 secs over Khalili at half-distance.

[Grassmarket 3,412]

Very impressive from Bocharnikov, huge lead now.

Bocharnikov can miss one on the final shoot and still win...

If someone behind him shoots clear that would leave him with what, 10 secs lead? Would be too tight for comfort IMO.

That’s your fault!  

 

Looks like he’s OK though.

 

Has been a very poor champs from the French B team, though.
