The IBU has announced some stupid rules for the new season. Among other things, the top 15 in the overall World Cup will start with a 60-second delay with bib numbers 42 to 70. 
If there are low conditions again, this is a huge disadvantage for the athletes with the high numbers.

TV insists, I am sure.  Also puts the team weather forecaster out of a job.  :(

Lisa Vittozzi will miss the first stage of the World Cup in Kontiolahti due to back problems. In my opinion, it must be something serious, because by missing 3 individual events, she basically loses the chance to win the general classification of the World Cup again this season. Otherwise, she would start and minimize the losses. I`m afraid that this could be a lost season for Vittozzi and without her we basically have no chance for any medal at the World Championships (except maybe Wierer in the individual race).

Not that serious imo. She did race last week, with a merely decent outing but still able to make it past the finish line. Probably a cautionnary decision, get some more time to come back into shape and maybe refocus her goals this year as I don't really rate her chances of crystal globe with 3 races missed. We're in a pre-Olympics season, with home Olympics in sight for her and after a near perfect season last year. No need to take risks and endanger her future in the sport.

Our problem is that without Vittozzi or in poor form our chances for an Olympic medal are equal to 0. Wierer actually is more of athlete for relay, which we have little chance without Vittozzi, anyway. At most Wierer can aim for the long run and that too probably only with a 20/20 chance can she count on a medal. France is in a much better situation, because they have 3-4 athletes who can stand on the podium individually.

That's the point. She better, in everyone's interest here, take time now to maximize her chances to be in her best shape come the Olympics.

    • What I think about  chances:   Football (W) - Already qualified Volleyball (W) - Impossible not to qualify Volleyball (M) - 100% Handball (W) - 95%    Basketball (M) - 55% - I think this is the team's best moment in about 15 years. So I'm more confident this time.   Rugby (W) - 65% - Argentina is really improving, but I think in a direct confrontation for the spot we would still prevail, but this could be our last Olympics until they overtake us in this sport.   Football (M) - 30% - I don't think the CBF wants to miss another Olympics. Of course, it will depend on the clubs, but it will probably be the best team available. Which should be enough to have a chance at qualifying.   Handball (M) - 50% - This should be the best time to qualify, considering that Argentina is rebuilding, but I'm not going to give this team any favoritism.   Basketball (W) - 10% - The team has two really good players, if a miracle happens... But I doubt it.   Water Polo (M) - 33% - Canada, Brazil, and Argentina are at the same level.   Water Polo (W) - 5% - Canada isn't totally invincible here, so I won't consider this team completely out of the running.   Remaining - 0%    My bets: Football (W) Volleyball (M/W) Handball (M/W) Basketball (M) Rugby (W)
