Our entire biathlon in the 21st century is 2 individuals: Wierer and Vittozzi. When they leave, there will be nothing left. No system, no plan, no generational change. All of that is in France, for example. I don't see it here, despite having our home games. We used to be a powerhouse in women's cross-country skiing. Now there's nothing left of it. For a moment, we covered it up with successes in biathlon thanks to 2 individuals who were a lottery ticket for us. At the moment, looking at Wierer's age, our entire women's biathlon depends on the health of one Vittozzi, just like technical alpine skiing in Brignone. Personally, I was hoping for something more, but as you can see, it's impossible to plan anything here.

No worries. I’ve got the same. 

Imagine how (we) Norwegian fans feel now that the likes of Berger, Eckhoff and Olsbu have retired...

I'd be happy to although my predictions usually suck.

The start of the biathlon season is disastrous for us and even the absence of Vittozzi doesn't change my opinion. Cortina 2026 looks bleak and gloomy for us, apart from a few individuals

Lol love the confidence of this forum on Canada not finishing fourth 

Really no sport where the world record means less.   Don't they record the athlete's bodyweight before every competition? One would think it would be trivial to re-create the world record for each new weight class retroactively.

Very nice 4th place for Natalia Sidorowicz! 👍💪

Wow Ella Halvarsson where did that come from, and the smallest of edge-misses away from a victory even!

What I don't see yet is a timetable, which is good to have because these races are usually run in blocks and there can be large gaps between them for medal ceremonies, tears'n'hugs, dimwitted "and how do you feel about tripping just before the line, blowing a certain Gold and finishing fourth"-type questions etc.
