By the way... interesting start lists (zeroing allocations) for the IBU Cup mixed relays.

The single mix has Macedonia, Australia, Chile and BELGIUM. Yes, they apparently have a woman now.

Mixed relay has Greece and Spain.

And both of course have Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia, the UK and Moldova.

Should be fun to watch!

A Belgian woman, cool! Chile must be Claudia Salcedo (who was rather slow in Obertilliach last season) who apparently found a guy to compete with. I believe 10-12 years ago Chile had several athletes competing in Europa/IBU Cups, but it's been a while since I saw Chilean guys there. I know they have two 16/17-year old girls who are trying out biathlon, but I doubt they'll already be in the IBU Cup :p 

 

As for Spain, I guess it's Henar Etxebarria with a woman I don't know yet, since Vicky Padial is at the World Cup. Yet another interesting development!

 

Do you happen to know how to search for athletes from a specific country on IBU's new website? I want to search for all Belgian biathletes, but I can only enter family and given names..

Well I don't know of a way, but in Belgium's case their federation's website (the websites of many countries can be found on IBU's site under 'Federations') list a certain 'Rieke De Maeyer' as part of the IBU Cup team, so it must be her, she's the only female there.

Chile will be cool. She was quite slow, but it's great that she's competing. That means all the Latin American countries have done relays. Is Argentina competing this year, I wonder? Same strategy as Brazil, maybe?

I wonder about Greece's relay team, will the second woman be Nimpiti? I remember her in the JWC, she wasn't too great, but maybe she's improved?

I know Maria Cecilia Dominguez (who competed in the IBU Cup last season) has been competing in Brazilian rollerski competitions last months, but I didn't hear anything about biathlon..if I'm not mistaken, there were one or two young Argentinian girls at the IBU Development Camp in Argentina some months ago, but like with the Chileans, I guess it's too early to compete in the IBU Cup already. 

 

Where do you find the list of federations? I know what you mean (the list with the addresses/websites/e-mail addresses etc), but since they migrated to the new website I can't find it anymore :p

Yep, apparently she trains in Germany and her team there already announced she'd be in Ridnaun and Obertilliach in November :d

16-year old Darcie Morton will represent Australia in the single mixed, together with her 20-year old brother Damon :)

A lot of the teams withdrew unfortunately :(

Maybe due to JWC commitments?

    • Qualifying round starting today. No pause after the Winter Olympics     https://www.concacaf.com/en/under-20s-men/news/u-20-qualifiers-kicks-off-with-eight-matches/
    • Would you believe we are straight back into action with the Scottish Championships starting tomorrow.  None of the Olympians in action, although team reserve Ross Whyte skips the favourites.   Usually some streaming at the weekend
    • Now that I've had half a day to recover from the traumatic hockey loss, I can answer this question better:   Favourite Moments from Canadian Athletes (not many but they still exist) The Cross-Country skiing team delivering great performance after great performance and giving hope for a Canadian renaissance in the sport Rachel Homan finally overcoming her Olympic demons and winning a medal in curling Mikael Kingsbury winning the first dual moguls Olympic gold medal at capping his career with an Olympic gold Megan Oldham winning gold in freeski big air Seeing the emergence of Stephen Gogolev in men's figure skating Deanna Stellato-Dudek finally getting to live out her Olympic dream at 42 years old when it looked like it wouldn't be the case after an injury in a practice session Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier finally getting an Olympic medal in Ice Dance Courtney Sarault winning 4 medals after winning no medals in 2022 and almost quitting the sport in 2023 Laurent Dubreuil finally winning a medal in the 500m Valerie Maltais (at 35 years old) turning back the clock and having a career year winning 3 Olympic medals in speed skating Women's Team Pursuit winning back-to-back gold medals   Favourite Moments from International Athletes:  Lucas Pinheiro Braathen winning gold in the men's giant slalom  Johan-Olav Botn dedicating his win to Sivert Guttorm Bakken  Federica Brignone overcoming injury and winning 2 gold medals  Lisa Vittozzi winning biathlon gold on home soil  Seeing the incredible Bulgarian performances in biathlon  Elana Meyers Taylor finally winning Olympic gold  Klaebo dominance Nazgul the dog  Mikhail Shaidorov winning gold in men's figure skating  Alysa Liu winning gold after retiring from the sport in 2022 Men's Freeski big air final Seeing the emergence of  Kacper Tomasiak in ski jumping The parallel giant slalom events  Choi Ga-on winning halfpipe gold after a scary injury on her 1st run Even though it wasn't the result I wanted, the men's snowboard cross final had a thrilling finish  Francesca Lollobrigida stunning everyone with gold in the women's 3000m and 5000m In general, seeing all the countries that hadn't won a Winter Olympic medal ever or in a long time win a medal at these Games
    • My proposal:   Skimo: Only a long distance race   Freestyle skiing: remove dual moguls or make it somehow different than regular moguls Like more focus in first to finish than technical score, otherwise it doesnt fit for a parallell format. Remove team events in freestyle.   Alpine skiing: take back individual  combined and remove the team event (but if they keep it, only allow one team/nation)   Curling: consider to include a singles skills event    Cross country skiing: can be kept it as it is but if they would consider removing team sprint, replace with having one sprint of each style. They could also make 50 km as individual start, and skiathlon should change order of free/classical between each championship.   Luge/skeleton/bob: remove relays. There is already team events (2men/4men)   Figure skating: remove team event   Speed skating: replace team Pursuit with a relaty format. Remove mass start.   Short track: remove some events, maybe relay, maybe 1000m or something.   Biathlon: like the current programme but to be honest (and my proposal might be controversial) the Pursuit is maybe the best event showtime who is best actuslly over 6 shootings and in a combination of individual start and head to head but it is strange to give out medals for both sprint and for a following race with handicap start. Like the winner of round Robin curling would get a gold and then a new good in playoffs. Why not have a Pursuit based on a shooting contest or something instead of a previous medal event?   Consider to include new sport: Bandy

    • Finnish olympic committee & our sports minister said that the target was 6 medals. FOR ONCE WE ACTUALLY ACHIEVED OUR TARGET   Our possible gold medal was just 0,5 seconds away(Nordic Combined)...
    • From a  perspective:   Elana Meyers Taylor winning monobob, Alysa Liu winning women's figure skating, Shiffrin winning women's slalom & both our hockey teams winning gold   From an international perspective:    Klaebo dominating cross country skiing events  Shaidorov winning men's figure skating  Franjo von Allmen dominating men's alpine skiing  Kingsbury winning gold in dual moguls  Netherlands dominating short track now??!?!?!  Lucas winning gold for Brasil and South America   In reality, all the athletes are winners for sacrificing so much to participate in these Olympics.
