I wonder if there is an over/under on this event happening?  I know the US is not sending a team, with the possible exception of Cervenka who was the only US skier last week in Arber.  He trains in Nova Mesto so was already in Europe, where the rest of the team would have flown over.  He did a good job last week with a 2nd place in the Sprint. 

 

I look for Swiss wins here.

That's not exactly a thing one could bet over/under on  I mean, it happens or it doesn't happen (and it will), the over/under would be on the number of nations participating

In Vegas, there is an over/under on everything.    I guess it would be more of a prop bet.  I do not bet, but I would imagine there could be a ton of those in Biathlon.  Who is the first to drop a ski pole, how many spare rounds will so and so use, which team will enter the range in what position and melt-down the most ...

But not on 'will it happen?', because then it's a yes/no bet  I've been betting for 10 years, this is something I actually know

The most common ones are of course the head-to-head (athlete A vs B) and the number of missed shots (over/under per athlete and head-to-head), although most bookmakers don't have anything more than simply 'who wins?'.

The schedule has changed:

 

"The sprint competitions will now be held on Thursday (instead of Saturday) to guarantee that the individual starts are held as soon as possible. The competition jury will convene again tomorrow and decide about the further programme of the JOECH. A single mixed relay and mixed relay as well as a pursuit are originally also scheduled over the upcoming days."

Joanna Jakiela takes bronze in the individual (despite three misses). Both the gold & silver medallists shot 20/20.
