It happened in the Mixed and Single Mixed Relays again today.  Lots of lapped teams.  There were 9 teams lapped in the Single Mixed relay, including four who did not get off their first biathlete.  How in the world is Brazil going to be able to compete Erdal?  The mixed relay had 8 of the 19 get lapped.  5 teams did not get off the women.  I know I have ranted about this before, but if the IBU Cup is about development, don't pull people out after they are lapped.

Or find a way to split the race into two divisions…
