What`s a wrong with this situation, because I don't really understand?

 

Badacz, Guńka & Galica should be in World Cup every week. The fourth place is a coin toss between Zawół or Suchodolski. Skorusa is behind them and Lord knows Nedza-Kubiniec should be nowhere near World Cup at this stage. His skiing pace has been pathetic forever.

 

Our men's team has developed above expectations in the last 12 months and this internal rule to automatically promote a Top 30 finish in IBU Cup into WCup is simply outdated and should be overturned.

OK, but from what I see, there's little difference between the 4th and 5th place, so maybe it's better for everyone to get a chance? These people aren't competing for results right now, but they're learning for the future and also the IBU Cup doesn't have to be a something much worse.

If Zawół gets a Top 20 in Arber sprint he also gets a spot in Ruhpolding. Right now one of Badacz/Guńka/Galica will be replaced together with Suchodolski and if Zawół gets in that means a point scorer from Oberhof sprint will be replaced. That is insane.

 

Nedza-Kubiniec will be 35 this year. He's been the slowest :POL male biathlete the last decade. He's not our future whatsoever :wacko:

I think about: Zawol vs Suchodolski.

Yeah, it's a battle for the 4th spot in the OG relay. But Skorusa will also be promoted at Ruhpolding so one of our three best guys will be absent there.

In Italy situation it`s clair for today: Giacomel, Hofer, Bionaz, Braunhofer and Zeni for 99%. Unfortunately, Capellari is much weaker this season, so 5 place is a sure for Elia Zeni. However, in the relay, we have no chance for a medal: Bionaz would have to return to the form of 2 years ago, and even then, the 4 person is a significant loser in the skies: Braunhofer (today 24th, but with a 0) or Zeni. Bionaz is very good on skies- sometimes even at the level of the top 10-15- but for the last 2 years he's had a big problem with shooting in the stand-up position (today also 0+3 on shooting:wall:). It's a shame, because he's a similar age to Giacomel (his close friend, with whom he always shares a room during competitions and training camps), who once showed promise as a similar talent to he.

Oberhof has two weather conditions - foggy or windy.  Today is windy, so we should be in for some drama.

 

And indeed first shoot is slow with.lots of misses....

 

Lordy, pressure is high to get into the :NOR team....

 

Incredibly after 7 misses Giacomel is back in the lead!

      Track Cycling UEC European Championships 2026

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
