Biathlon IBU World Cup 2025 - 2026

Giacomel's skiing is simply poor right now. He lost to the Swedes by 50 seconds today... With a ski- run like that, it'll be difficult to win any medals at the Olympics. A last ywar, he was consistently finishing in 4th or 5th place on ski, and he was supposed to be making progress. So far, I don't see it. 50 seconds in a race like that is a lot. Especially since there aren't any phenomenal figures here right now. These aren't times for Boe and Fourcade to dominate.

you don't even have idea how it works

 

last week he was the best of the field and now he's in bad shape?

 

on Friday he was 24th despite 4 (4!!!!!) missed shots and Yesterday he suddenly went out of shape?

 

be serious!

 

he either just had bad skis or he got sick, like many other athletes (see Vittozzi)

 

the snow in LGB is usually shit, results are always heavily influenced by that and Italy is one of the teams that usually struggle a lot in that place

 

nothing new and nothing to be worried about

Too bad, but will still be a PB and probably Olympic selection.

Passler with one miss but should be enough for a PB result?

 

Jeanmonnot & JBB one miss too and Bened probably steals the win unless she blows 14 secs lead...

[Monzanator 4,777]

Bened might don't even finish on the podium. Yikes!

A wonderful sign also in terms of the relay race, waiting for Carrara...
