Interesting to see  in, maybe a double start Cross-Country Skiing-Biathlon

Seems so, but Konstantina Charalampidou also could compete as she is biathlete too, maybe she doesnt had enough IBU points to enter or something.

Who knows, maybe it is just a mistake.

 

Our Šimon Adamov is the second one to be listed in both sports, but as far as I know there no single mention from him nor our team that he will do also Cross-Country Skiing, in fact all his biathlon starts are even at the same time as the cross-country events he would be in consideration to starts in

Rebecca Passler has tested positive in a doping test

Well.. that's a bummer not only for the athlete, but for Italia's chances in the women's relay.

Think for the relay teams can call up a replacement.  One of the people from the European Cup yesterday will get lucky.

I'm sure they will replace her, but i was alluding about their chances to win a medal, as whoever they call up won't be on the level of Passler.

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have been a relay member in any case

the team that was 2nd in Rupholding is set to start in Anterselva/Antholz too

Auchentaller - Wierer - Carrara - Vittozzi

That would be a beautiful story - Comola comes back at the last minute, wins a medal in the 15 km and later gold in the relay
