I'm quite sure IBU Cups were streamed last season, but I forgot where...Eurovisionsports? That's not having anything available for today it seems...  

 

Edit: never mind, it's there, starting in a few minutes actually

Wow, and in - as far as I can see - her very first IBU-level competition on snow  

 

Feels like one of the best Lithuanian female performances in quite a while I think?

And Daria Virolainen for the first time since 2017/18. I've read about her a few times since, but forgot what happened

She was supposed to compete in the ibu cup last year but got injured right before that start

 

 

There was an individual race 19 place finish by a female who's retired now,but yes other than that absolutely one of the best Lithuanian female performances in a long long time.

Good day for the US men with Bonacci in 6th and Luke Brown in 28th.  No surprise that 5 of the top 10 were Norwegians.

Only 9 of the 22 teams finished the Mixed Relay.  22-15 were lapped prior to the men skiing.  I wish on the IBU Cup being lapped in the relay did not force you to be removed.  How can the later biathletes ever get a chance to develop.  I can see a similar thing happening in the single-mixed in a few minutes.

 

 

[RobtheAggie 340]

The single-mixed saw 23 teams start.

2 were lapped prior to the first exchange and one pulled out.

1 more was lapped prior to exchange 2.

4 more prior to Exchange 3.

 

I know I sound like a bad record, but how does this help develop the depth and experience needed.  I know there are technical issues with changes the targets, but there should be a way to figure this out.
