Honestly I think not marking your skis properly is even more dumb  

 

Koreans should at least be well aware of the being lapped rule.

ok, another day and another bad day.

 

There were some expectations to attack the top 10 for our girls, but unfortunately they were visibly too much nervous today and failed. 2 loops in relay is too much for us, with 2 loops in relay SVK can not fight for higher place...unfortunately even Anastasiya who was supposed to lead our team failed in the prone shooting and Terézia Poliaková presented one of the worst running time of the whole todays race, must admit her shooting was excellent, absolutely excellent but c´mon at this level lost 2 and half minutes in 6km leg is a horror performance and since Ivona Fialková added our 2nd loop even with her combativity and decent run we couldn´t finished better than 16th...

 

this is very very bad, in Nations Cup we are 17th...and we will likely have huge troubles to remain in top 20, since it´s already confirmed that we will not compete in the new years 4th stage in Oberhof and questionable are also the 8th and 9th stages in PyeongChang and Tyumen. most likely we will miss both stages....I´m afraid it will have fatal consequences for our ambitions to be in the NC top 20.

Men´s relay...we expected nothing, boys fighted well, avoided penalty loops and finished 14th, not bad, we must see it in realistic view, this is prbably the maximum these guys can achieve, so fine. if they will be able to repeat it also in the next relays we should maintain our 15th place in the Nations Cup. even if we must calculate that we will miss Oberhof and most likely also PyeongChang and Tyumen.

The positive thing is a very nice 4th place of Jana Gereková in IBU cup pursuit today only few seconds behind podium, but still 4th place wow...something we didn´t knew for a while...

 

Janka will be back next weekend in Nove Město Na Moravě, still not known who she will replace, coach will announce it soon, but most likely it will be Poliaková

Decent 7th place for our womens  No words for men's relay... I hope to see Hojnisz in top10 in Nove Mesto.
