They take the average of the three best results in the past three trimesters. 

 

IBU has slightly changed the way they publish IBU Qualifying Points (I mean the format of the PDF is a little different), and my Excel sheet doesn't like it, so I'm waiting for my Excel magician to solve the problem so I can start adding results and keeping the list up to date  

Oh, okay. That's awesome!

I have a few "favourites" this year in the IBU Cup- Greece (mostly Tsakiri), Britain, Latvian women, and Brazil of course. Also still hoping for a return of Greenland  Haha

By the way, one result of under 150 points is sufficient as well to be eligible (so: average of under 180 or at least one result of under 150), so with her 109 points last weekend she is already eligible

Interesting story I missed there was another Serbian woman in IBU Cup last year in Martell- and in both of her races she shot 2 errors in the prone shoot and then was marked as DNF. Her name was Vahida Hozdic, relation to Edin, probably. And even more interesting she is currently 22 according to the datacenter, but was racing all the way back in 2009 in the IBU Cup, and then took a 5 year hiatus.

Whoever knew.

Biathlon in some countries is just a real mystery

Any job offerings for becoming Dorothea Wierer's new coach?

Too much wind

Today is a race between Gereková, Poliaková and Ivona Fialková about who of them will be cut from the team and replaced from next stage by Kuzmina...The worst ranked today will be the sad. Just hope it will not be Gereková but in this wind...everything is possible
