Let's just keep it with "not a whole lot" :p 

 

They are going to build an actual biathlon centre in Georgia though, that might help.

Actually? I'm quite surprised to be honest. But in a good way.

Good to see the Greeks doing well. All three have gotten under 250, Kyriazis missed only 2x, Karamithas 3x. 

They did qualify two spots for the WCH by virtue of nations cup, interesting to see if two of them can get under 180. I'd say it's unlikely but possible, Angelis did it last year.

And in the women's competition they have Maria Tsakiri. She was incredibly impressive at this year's summer world champs...I know that doesn't always mean a whole lot, but if she can translate that to the snow, that's going to be really interesting since she's also still young. We might be getting close to a World Cup-regular from Greece then :)

Well, to make things worse:

Oh, no!

Whyever?

I hope it's not something along the lines of forgetting something basic, like last year and the relay reloading...

I honestly have no idea, but I've got a feeling I might talk to Angela, who probably knows what happened, after her competition :p

Wow, Tsakiri did have some good results. Imagine how good they could have been if her shooting had been on point :O

She's definitely one to watch in the womens' race.

Are you at the venue or just in contact?

Ah okay, cool.

I'm not going to be able to 'watch' the women's one. Pretty interested in how it turns out though.

That's it, everyone who's not Germany might as well just DNS and rest for the other competitions :p

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
