Biathlon IBU World Championships 2024

The fuck happened with the skis of Strømsheim and Christiansen? This was just unreal, especially Christiansen has shown he is in very much a decent shape...

 

Edit: some rain later on, so a classic 'bib number race'...zero chance at all for anyone with a slighly higher bib.

Only man to shoot 20/20 was  Aleksandr Starodubets.  Now, as with Kapustova a couple of weeks ago, he already has something famous named after him!

 

[OK, obscure slavic joke, but his name literally means "Old Oak Tree."]

Tomorrow, at mixed relay we will have basically three Russian teams, under Romania, Moldova and South Korea flag 

 

Edit. Also Greece and Australia will start

But the Norwegians with the higher numbers were especially bad. There were several starters with a higher numbers, who ran faster, and who are normally not even close to them in the track. Tomas Mikyska from Czechia finished 10th with exactly the same number of mistakes than Christiansen, and he had a higher BiB. And it wasn't because of the shooting time either, it was because he ran faster.

Yeah Lagreid also seemed out of shape. However, those two were slow even in comparison

Fun race to watch.  Great tactics by Vittozzi on the last hill.  I was hoping that Irwin would hang onto 4th, but they were in the picture for a long time.  Great race for them!

Yeah, that's what I meant, it was not like they had a bad race in terms of shape...

Franziska Preuss has a throat infection and will miss the relay.
