My money's actually on Makarainen at this point.

By the way a bit off topic, whatever happened to Elisa Gasparin? We always see Selina and Aita but not Elisa.

Aaaaagh Anna Magnussen so close

Nice result for Paulina Fialkova 

 

yes. actually I´m really satisfied, she was ill all last week and her todays start was questionable untill the last minutes, so we expected that run will not be ideal, but still very good. well done Paulína, our first womens points this season and probably we may jump back into top 20 in Nations Cup

Such a shame that Magnusson had some sort of failure with her last shot and then missed it, but what a result

She was apparently 80th or something last year. Pretty amazing.

So, Another unsuccesful day for us. only Paulína Fialková on points and our only women qualified for tomorrows pursuit at least thanks her points our girls jumped into 19th place in the Nations Cup, hopefully it will be only better now and we will only climb up in this ranking now.

 

Terezia Poliaková as usual our best shooter but this run...oh dear only the 92nd running time, and Gereková is absolutely out of shape, and most likely she will be the one who will be cut of the team and replaced by Kuzmina from next stage..but the final decision of the coach about who will be replaced, will be announced during the week.

 

Spoiler

 

 

Among mens. no points today after excellent thursday came today again a disaster...only Hasilla qualified for the pursuit. Otčenáš had terrible standing shooting, but apparently caused by some problems with lens.

 

At least guys remains at 17th place in the Nations Cup.

Same for us, no men's on points and noone from them not qualified to pursuit race  from women's only Kinga Mitoraj won one single point, which is first point for our an women's biathlete in this season 

 

Also terrible beginning of the season for Canadians, no Smith or Crawford in pursuit!

Russia can still compete in biathlon, who knew! Great showing by Babikov and Tsvetkov.

Jana Gereková will be replaced by Anastasiya Kuzmina in Pokljuka. Very sad start of the season for Gereková but she will get another chance, if she will perform well in IBU cup in Ridnaun next weekend she will return back to A team and replace the worst ranked from Pokljuka in next stage in Nove Město.

That is a shame The races were very windy, surely it's not the most accurate measure of her strength. I'm sure she'll come back.
