You've got to love the determination of British Nordic Skiing teams!! Nearly as bad as our para biathletes who spend twice as long on the course as anyone's else, we do like to get our money's worth!!

To be fair, as far as I know they're very inexperienced, so I definitely wouldn't go with "bad" as choice of words. If you want to get people in your country interested, you have to start somewhere, and only trusting on Amanda Lightfoot isn't gonna work forever :p

Really? :lol: I really thought that Shipulin will win finally.

This would have been the worst day of all for a Russian victory in biathlon... :p 

 

I'm getting enough of Fourcade for quite a while, but damn, the man is such a beast. :bowdown:

No points today for us :( what a shame, with clean shooting we will have at least 2 biathletes with points. Especially Otčenáš is only 1.3 second behind points...

 

but in other hand, 3 slovaks qualified for the pursuit is something very rare. It didn´t happened since last years Ostersund. :yes

 

We moved one place higher and we are now 14th in the Nations Cup. But since the Next race counting for the Nations Cup will be the Oberhof sprint, and most likely as our womens our mens will miss the whole Oberhof stage too, we will drop down in the ranking. :(

What's the deal with the wildcards (women) again? Everyone from a top-30 nation is in (with a maximum per NOC of course) and wildcards go to non-top-30 nations? 

I think the other nations get 10 between them if I'm not mistaken.

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.
    • I'm not sure that Japan will able to compete in figure skating team event. I see or on the podium.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
