It's weird that in the mixed relay they don't get pulled out for being lapped..(at least not last year in Ridnaun)

Yeah, it is weird. I think Croatia can be competitive, and Britain won't be terrible. But Bosnia is basically sending their 'C' team. I wonder how far they will be allowed to go.

Still good on them for even participating :)

Talking about Bosnia, I'd say their A-team for women is Karisik/Kusmuk/Kosarac, but where's Kusmuk? Last season she was consistently faster than Kosarac, but I haven't noticed her all season yet.

Yeah, I don't know. They don't really update their website. She never did shoot very well, though. 

I was thinking that their A team was Karisik, their B team was Kosarac/Kusmuk and their C team was everyone else

Lasica who they have in the mixed relay hasn't competed since 2013. Mumovic was 12 minutes behind in the sprint. So... yeah.

Apparently Kozica and Blazenic are the Croatian cadet 'A' team so basically the 'A' team since there are no women, with Starcevic part of the 'B' team, as is Ceskovic. Kozica did pretty well for herself there :yes

It appears she's been doing cross-country races recently. https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/athlete-biography.html?sector=CC&competitorid=178984&type=result

Karisik and Kosarac have also been at these races.

Well basically all biathletes (especially in the smaller nations) do that, because it's the easier way to go to the Olympics :p 

 

Or you mean that at least she's still active? That'd be good news then, I always compare Kusmuk and Kosarac with the Brazilians :d

Yeah, possibly she will be next Trimester, I think Kosarac got under 250 so they could both be there against the Brazilians?

Has the biathlon qualification system changed this year? I think the IBU are doing the wildcard thing again :p

Not anymore, France got a 25 second time adjustment and will finish 3rd :(

 

Edit: Wait, France and Czech Republic are now tied for 3rd, so still a Czech podium :d

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
