Biathlon Brazil fanclub update: tomorrow we have the Junior Cup sprints in Hochfilzen, the venue of the (senior) World Championships. This time it's followed by a pursuit, and the interesting but slightly bad news is that the start lists are huge! 116 guys is not so special at this level, but 108 girls is more than I've seen at IBU Cups..Gabi will have to keep 48 girls behind her to qualify for the pursuit! I have identified 24 athletes who, in my opinion, Gabi should 'easily' be able to keep behind her in terms of skiing speed, so now it's a matter of hoping she has a good day on the tracks and a better time on the range and who knows what's possible :p

I hope you don't mind I'm abandoning Brazil as my team for this one race because Greenland :d

Still wish well on Gabi of course! I agree if she shoots clear she could make the pursuit.

In case you're interested in some help following the slower athletes, my little noted start list for tomorrow :d 


At first I used "x" to mark the slower athletes, but then I thought "hey this athlete is not just slower, she's REALLY slower" so I used xx, and the same process happened again resulting in xxx for the athletes who were several minutes behind Gabi (in skiing time) last weekend :p 

 

Sadly it's horizontal so you'll have to break your neck to see it, but hey, it's all part of being a Biathlon Brazil Fanclub member :p (it's hard to guess where Greenland's girls would be in terms of speed, but they might be able to fight against the two Serbians and the Moldovans)

:yes Let's hope she can get there! 

I will be watching.

By the way it looks like there might be a relay of Serbian women...Godspeed :p Though Maja Drndic has had some decent results and is improving quite a bit since last year.

Yes I was very surprised by Drndic' results, she was actually way in the top half in terms of skiing speed! 

 

I remember seeing results of relays in the Europa Cup (what is now the IBU Cup) like 10 years ago, where there were mixed teams...mixed in terms of nations, so also smaller nations had athletes in relays. I wonder if that's possible here for Gabi, to compete with for example two Bosnians (or Greenlanders, imagine that :d ).

Haha. Although let's hope the Bosnians race, too, it would be somewhat of a battle with Serbia...

About Greenland one of their athletes is Uiloq Slettemark's 15 year old daughter who competed at the Arctic Winter Games apparently.

Cool! I didn't find her in any IBU results, FIS results or the Youth Olympics, forgot to check the Arctic Winter Games...some convincing results for her in the three junior races :d

 

It all says sprint, but it's actually (in order) Individual, Sprint, Mass Start :)

Those are pretty decent margins! Keeping in mind of course this is the AWG. But she obviously has SOME class. I wonder how well she shoots. She did an interview where she was proud that she shot a reindeer and both shooting a reindeer and a biathlon target successfully have the same good feeling :p

And it seems the other athlete competed last year twice and both times finished dead last, though she was like 16 at the time.

      Biathlon IBU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.

      That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.

      Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.

      Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.

      If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia

      The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games.

      Curling will have 14 participating nations, with the men's and mixed doubles events have a group stage (surely a first for an international MSE event? @Olympian1010?)   Mixed doubles   Group A:   I believe this is Turkmenistan's (and possibly Thailand and Kuwait) international curling debut.   Group B:   Women's:   Men's:   Group A:   Group B:
