Looks like Polish biathlon fed decided to ignore their stupid rules and will send the same men to Ruhpolding! :p

Thats good, but I think Galica should take some rest because of his age and Suchodolski could be replaced by Skorusa for example to give him any chance to show in World Cup

One of the best-ever Women's Relays this afternoon in Ruhpolding.  Unfortunately stuck away on a midweek afternoon so not many people will have seen it.  Must watch though.  No spoilers yet!

Spoiler

:NOR Kirkeeide is like the new T1000 and i mean the new Tora Berger 1000. :lol:  That final lap was something else. :ITA Vitozzi made an almost perfect leg and it's a shame she got caught in the last 10 metres. :( At least it was today and not in a month's time. 

 

 

 

OK, won't spoil the outcome yet. :d

 

The most interesting relay in who knows how long and it was after lunch on a working day... It's idiotic that the Germans don't have the weekday starts in the evening, when people are OFF WORK. If i was advertising i'd be fuming it's not at least at 18-19:00...

2nd place for Italy is great, but I'm worried about Lisa's weak run on skies in the last stage, and without a fast run there will be no individual medals in Cortina :( In normal form, Vittozzi shouldn't lose more than 10 seconds to the Norwegian on the last split from the shooting range to the finish line. Perhaps Lisa has had some hard training - she missed the stage in Oberhot and that's why her form in the run on skies is a bit weaker?

Now I looked at the results and I was very happy that Italy was 2nd, but when I saw Lisa's last split on skis, I was a bit worried :(

Yeah,I said before Xmas that when the :NOR women lose a superstar someone always comes through who responds to the best coaches & slowly gains the confidence to win the big races.  Looks like she has arrived just in time

Yeah, think Skjelbreid was the first in the line.  When I first started watching the Norwegian women were well behind the men.  Forsberg, Disl & Zubrilova were the stars.

There were two Skielbreid sisters, except Ann was much weaker. Then there was Gro Marit Istad: a good shooter but weak in cross-country skiing. Italy once had Natalie Santer, then Ponza.

 

It wasn't once the case that biathlon was mainly a sport practiced in the former USSR and their friendly countries: e.g. DDR?

    • I remember when Ferrari dominated inFormula 1 in the early 21st century, the rules were deliberately changed to limit their advantage. Something similar recently happened with Mercedes' dominance after 2020. And here we have a situation where Norway is favored, if the Finns are telling the truth and that's strange – should the richest federation get some extra advantage from FIS? It's certainly better for the popularity of a given discipline to have a more diverse nations on the front, than to have 3 Norwegians skiers at the front with the rest of the world 2 minutes behind. But maybe that will change, because Norway isn't as dominant in the women's competitions without Bjoergen and Johaug. I think the situation will change somewhat after Klaebo's career, even without Rus's return. Without Klaebo, Norway would not have won the entire gold medal here: in the sprint it would have been Ogden from the USA, and in the combined race: Frenchman Desloges.   Of course, the stars like Klaebo and Phelps build the popularity of a their disciplines, but it always takes some kind of great rivalry- a great rival- for people to really take an interest that. For example, in Beijing, Phelps won 8 gold medals, but in the 100 butterfly, there was fierce competition and controversy with battle against Milorad Cavic. In Klaebo's case, this hasn't been that`s case since Bolshunov's exclusion and that certainly has some impact on the overall situation.
