Just wait till LA 2028 when the Cuban team is banned from competing. 

Might result in the Olympics being cancelled.

Fillon Maillet apparently forgetting his penalty lap and throwing away a potential podium or even win with it

Botn shoots clean, which means miracles exist, and he's pulling it onto the podium, kicking Laegreid out very much last minute

QFM.......... how 

But Eric Perrot's first win  and Jacquelin back on the podium!

 

Botn didn't miss his chance and got his first podium

The course was dead after the first 5 or 10 guys. Nice result for Jacquelin, don’t see how he could equal the Norwegians with fair conditions though. Next year the fight for the blue jersey should be interesting. Perrot, Wright and multiple Norwegians should deliver an interesting fight. From a German perspective I hope that Kaiser, Kesper and Pfund will get the spots of Doll, Rees and Strelow/Horn. No point in dragging average talents along until they are 30 years old.

QFM shot right in front of me.  No idea how he skipped the loop.  I agree, that once the first 10 finished, the crown noise went down quite a bit.  Still a fun experience.

Maybe was looking at someone else’s targets & thought he’d got them all down.  Just so frustrating for Campbell Wright, there’s definitely a win for him next year.

I would have thought the same, but there were only three or four people out of the 100 that shot at lanes 29 or 30, and none were shooting at the same time as him.  Who knows.

 

Here's hoping for two good pursuit races today.
