I would postpone the overall World Cup until the third trimester. So much can still happen in March. Difficult courses, who is how tired after the WCH?
We should be more concerned about Simon and Braisaz, who are currently competing for the worst shooting result. Will they be able to turn things around for the World Championships?

I was counting on the fact that the recent terrible performances would shake up these people and it seems to have worked Giacomel yesterday said in an interview that he was hurt by the attacks of fans on social media and stood up for his teammates. It's great that he finally broke through on the shooting range, because running it looked pretty good the whole time. Wierer was also good but it's a shame about that last shooting, because 2nd place would have been a sure thing. The atmosphere will definitely improve before Anterselva and that's good. The Italian teams need to stabilize and defend their places in the top 10 in the Nations Cup: this is guaranteed 5 places in 2026 games.

Right. Weronika Nowakowska said it's one of the strongest cases for a potential DQ she has seen.

 

with a great 7th place ahead of B or C team.

Sweden should've been DSQd but Norway didn't even make a claim*
