Biathlon IBU World Cup 2025 - 2026

Oh damn, Wierer crossing the line there with 0,3 seconds faster than Leinamo is one of the biggest ever moments of "ah goddammit!" despite an amazing result   I don't often react physically when watching sports, but here I had a good strong disappointed punch on my leg at that moment  

 

Too bad, so close...but still, 2nd is just absolutely amazing beyond words!

I would have more expected Vittozzi to win this morning, but it's nice that Wierer also won something in her last season of career The individual race is probably her only real chance for individual gold on home games in Cortina. Vitozzi also did well today: 10 place and 7 fastest time in the run. Biathlon and short track are the only two disciplines that are good for us at the start of this difficult winter season for us.

Florent Claude our first outsider chance today - 0 0 0 after 15.  Well 19/20 might get somethon.

 

Rastorguevs is Mr Consistency - misses shot 20 as he always does when he shoots 19/19. 

 

 Mandzyn 0 0 5 .  Ah, dropped his rifle.

Uldal our first contender to go 15/15

 

Botn joins him

 

All of a sudden things go back to normal Laegreid 19/20

 

Uldal first leader to get 20/20 but ski speed is not enough.....Botn also 20/20 will surely get in as the leader

 

So here's our exciting new season 

 

1 & 2 and probably also Bakken & Old Man Laegreid 19/20 top 5.

 

 

Hey  Kulbin goes 20/20 

 

Will get a top 15!

Was hoping our Kiwi-turned-Eagle Campbell Wright  would have placed higher than 27th, but we'll see how he continues to perform.

Still think there is a win in there this season.

Off we go for the Women's Sprint - good news is we have had more snow.

 

Preuss  is a DNS so already out of the overall challenge.

 

Bened first to get through at 0 0

 

Charvatova 0 1 but just leads Benet.

 

 Jakiela takes the lead after 2!
