Biathlon IBU World Cup 2023 - 2024

[FireRun 197]

To be fair I think there are at least 10 nations that can medal in the single mixed relay. This season we finished 5s of the podium. Last year I think Latvia finished 3rd in one of the races. Swiss always do well, Austria won silver last season... It's much more competitive than say Mixed Relay or normal relays.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss,Strolia finally has another good sprint,makes sense that it's in Ruhpolding,his best results track .

 

This is his best sprint result ever,not counting the magical Ruhpolding sprint in 2022.

Wohoooooo 11th For Vytautas in the Pursuit with perfect shooting I was waiting for this kind of peformance but didn't think it would be his first 20 out of 20.

Fun races yesterday.  Good to see Campbell Wright do well this past weekend.

Some really poor shooting today among some of the favorites.

Right, it's now getting close to February, about time to ask the question: who on Eurosport had the 'brilliant' idea to somehow have some Dorothea Wierer special thingy....Every. Single. Race? The one winter sport of which I generally watched the pre-race stuff....

Yeah, makes sense with that fog though

 

Some athletes really had tough luck in terms of the fog, which very much cleared up quite quickly.

Strong wind in Antholz by the looks of it, women getting ready to start.

Very, very happy for Lena Häcki-Gross, she's such a joy to watch racing, and she often seemed so close to a first victory (and usually a podium) !

 

The French girls team is so good this season, I love it ! And there is still such a good team in IBU Cup and Junior Cup too...!

i guess they want her as a key fixture after her retirement, probably this year (or even this wek) so are just getting her signed up before anyone else does.
