Biathlon IBU World Cup 2023 - 2024

I think it's safe to not expect anything from Lithuania anywhere earlier than 2024. Mostly everyone's sick, mental broken.

 

Only Lidija seems to be in good spirits right now.

Fun two races today.  Great to see Haecki-Gross ski smart and shoot really well.

Just one of those days on the range for Fak today.

And now it's Lou Jeanmonnot's turn to catch COVID

She will miss at least the Lenzerheide sprint and pursuit. She's talking about being back for the mass start, we'll see.

Wow, that was a tough day for the US.  The women's team did not have enough to race due to illness and the men's team struggled, a lot.

Sebastian Samuelsson has covid :(

I think that the Big globe will be more of a Survivor test.  Too bad that Lenzerheide might look look more like a IBU Cup than a World Cup.

Something is up with Strolia too,though doesn't seem to be covid so hopefully he'll be alright and in good shape when the new year arrives.

Oh my god,two Lithuanian women in the pursuit ,hasn't happened since the  2014/2015 season,Judita stunned me today,i thought she was supposed to be feeling illness effects so i didn't think she would be able to do much instead she has the speed and ends up in 49,it's been four seasons before a better position was taken by a Lithuanian woman in the sprint.Career record from 88 to 49,amazing.Lidija deserves congrats as well,it seems that she may have started to fast and that's something to learn from in the future.But she missed one shot less than last time and makes it in the top 60 as well.Also a career record in the main world cup of course.Excited for the pursuit.
