Biathlon IBU World Cup 2025 - 2026

[Grassmarket 4,029]

So  Minkinnen takes it, and there's going to be plenty PBs all down the list and encouraging results for the small teams.   Freed &  Rousseau both Top 40, so points & a decent Pursuit start.

And what's interesting is that this is a completely different top 6 from the individual, no one has been in the top 6 in both races, which must not happen that frequently!

Finland have been awful in almost all winter sports, well beside ice hockey and cross-country from time to time, for a lot of years. It's very good to see them building people to challenge for wins again. Their new coach has done wonders it seems.

This is the first time  Joanna Jakieła shot 10/10 in the sprint (69th start at World Cup, IBU Cup & IBU Junior level  ).

  Wright blows it 8/8 fast and heading for a big lead.....then 0/2.

Nightmare vision of  1-2-3 looms.

JTB and TB announce retirement and everyone outside Norge pop open the champagne and say "finally". Then Norge enter Botn and Uldal, who are the next incarnation of JTB and Taraj Boe

Always happens. They have the best coaches & ski preparation so it just takes 1 or 2 of the pool of a dozen young athletes to step up a level & the tradition continues.

Minkkinen shows she's here to stay 19/20!  

 

Chase is on!

 

Hauser gets her!

 

Hannah Oeberg starts 59th, finishes 9th, beats Elvira who started 5th.
