Retired 40 years old Anastasiya Kuzmina and Matej Kazár are in the final roster for the European Championships.

 

Kuzmina will start in Sprint & Mixed Relay, Matej Kazár in Sprint

 

 

34 countries overall are expected to compete, since it is a open European Champs, Osrblie will see also biathletes from :ARG :BRA :MEX :AUS & :MGL

 

Fun fact: If all registered teams will show, the host country will not be allowed to start in the Mixed Single Relay, as we are currently behind the Top 30 Nations of the IBU ranking, but there still a chance to overpass some countries right in Osrblie in the first events and somehow avoid the total shame to not start the single relay at home :p

Brazil in 18th out of 31, what the hell :lol: 

 

I guess simply competing sometimes really is enough :p 

 

Nice to see Kuzmina :cheer:

Y'all need to let these two rest. They've earned it dammit :p

 

Honestly, assuming they want to race, it is cool that they show up every once in a while and try to be competitive.

:facepalm::nopompom: :question: :LAT & :LTU

 

No-one is beating :NOR Soerum today.

 

Looking like a :NOR 1-2-3 though.  :rolleyes:
 

We never saw :USA Bonacci but he’s 20/20 & splitting :USA, so that US Mixed Relay team us assembling itself like gourmet burger.

Medal for the host. That´s always nice :d

 

What a winter for Ema this was. Funny enough this was her only race at this ECh, she will not start in the weekend races and rather focus her preparation for her main season goal, Junior Worlds. SHe is not going to even race the World Cup in the rest of this season.

She has certainly inspired the fans - manufacturers are already naming food products after her.

    • Yes (with the caveat that you'd need to change how you time the start of a run), but when looking at a 0.001s difference in a ski race you're just doing a coin flip anyway.   In general I think less significant figure in timing is better, because it ensures you're only measuring the actual performance and not stastical noise - if I had my way timing would not go above 10th of a second for endurance sports (heck I'm fine with just looking at seconds), 100th of a second for shorter time trials (like alpine skiing or speed skating) and 1000th of a second for head to head racing.   I took a physics class in university about error analysis (basically accounting for the limits of the accuracy of your instruments in scientific experiments) and it really radicalized me in my view that some sports are timed to a degree of "precision" that doesn't make sense.
    • Been a while since we've had a good judging scandal & here's a classic.   "A Cypriot rhythmic gymnastics judge has been banned for four years for manipulating scores to help her compatriot qualify for the Paris Olympics."     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/ckgnp3j646xo
    • 7 is just really curious indeed     The women are like 90% sure of having 4. It is highly unrealistic for them to drop down, and very unrealistic as well to go up. And even so, if they drop down one 'step', the weird qualifying system in biathlon means they'd go from 4 to, at best, 2.   The men still have a tiny chance to go to 4, but not likely. Meaning they'll stay with maximum 2 athletes (good chance it will be 2, but it might become 1 if things go bad).   I don't even see how any of these combinations can end up with 7 athletes     Most likely: 4 women, 2 men = 6 Somewhat unlikely, but not impossible: 4 women, 1 man = 5 Very unlikely: 4 women, 0 men = 4 Even more unlikely: 2 women, 0-2 men = 2-4   I don't get how to get to 7  
    • Live coverage that annoyingly restricted kind that you can't rewind or pause, but some commentary at least, so if you miss your bus you miss the ceremony.  Will wait for the repost.
