On another note what is it with the Chinese Taipei athletes who always come in every year and post extremely slow times?? :dunno:

One of them was 7 minutes behind.. before shooting 1.

 

Did they leave their skis in Taiwan or something? I mean, look at the total skiing time..

A few years ago in Beitostoelen, Fu missed only 4 shots, yet finished a little over half an hour (!) behind the winner..in a sprint..

The only explanation I can possibly think of is that the Chinese Taipei biathlon federation is simultaneously the Modern Pentathlon one as well, so maybe they are modern pentathletes who take the opportunity to get into shape during the winter?

Never thought about that :d 

 

I checked the UIPM database, at least they're not internationally registered modern pentathletes :p

Never mind then. :p 

Biathlon in some countries is such a mystery...

Yeah...if you're a young biathlete just starting out, alright. But they've been around for some years already and still lose 15-20+ minutes purely in skiing speed...in a 20-25 minute sprint...

Since 2010, actually. Wow. 

I kind of want to know the story.

And good to have found another South Park fan! :d
