RBU head coach Valery Polkhovsky will step down on 1 June for health reasons. 

 

An interesting opinion on the success of Norway and how biathlon could go the way of nordic skiing.  If Germany and Russia do not have a strong season, the TV rights could diminish.  Essentially, a league with one dominant team (Norway) is not a good business model.

Natalia Ushkina  -more about her story.  “The result has become high only this year. This was not the case that year, but now there is a breakthrough. Last year I was invited to the Romanian national team, all this time the documents were being made, I just waited. I was released from Russia, given the go in advance. I have already decided everything and I am not going to stay in Russia. In May, the issue of contracts will be resolved. I do not regret that I moved to Romania. If there is an offer you can’t refuse? No, I won’t accept it anyway. All is decided”.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
