Biathlon IBU Junior Cup 2023 - 2024

Results for the Mixed

 

 

They allowed the lapped teams to compete for a while.  Kudos to Spain for sticking finishing the race.  Maybe being "lapped" meant that there was not another biathlete.  I am glad that they did not pull them out immediately.  There was about 1 min different at the 1.2 km mark.  For many of these Juniors, these are their development races, and as such, if they do not race here, they will not race.

Jakub Borguľa confirmed today his incredible start of his first career Junior season finishing 5th in the Sprint in Ridnaun and believe it or not, but the kid is really still leading the whole World Cup ... I do not understand, is this some sort of intergalactical coincidence of circumstances in this season first trimester or do we really actually have some hopes in this sport for the future ?

Oh wow, total collapse in the last lap for Enkhbat, who was on his way to a Mongolian (!) podium  Still, 6th place is absolutely amazing!

Maybe the 'lapped' rule is slightly different, but you're definitely taken out at some point. As Brazil knows all too well
