They will go to the Czech Republic later as well by the way: after the Junior Cup in Pokljuka they're travelling to Nove Mesto for the Open Junior European Championships Aaaah I wish I still lived there! Might be going January next year so might see some biathlon there, who knows. If I had to go anywhere it would be Nove Mesto! I hope Bruna manages to qualify for the WCH though it'll be tough from here. 3 races left to do it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Bruna manages to qualify for the WCH though it'll be tough from here. 3 races left to do it.. There's actually only two races left...the OECH individual on Wednesday and the sprint on Friday, since the pursuit doesn't give any IBU points (and with her travelling to Kazakhstan on that day, I doubt she'd participate anyway if she qualifies). I'm not entirely sure she'll participate in Hochfilzen even if she qualifies though. It would have to be squeezed in right between the Winter Universiade and the Nordic Ski World Championships in Lahti, both of which she'll definitely participate in. Which also doesn't help is that she's spent two days already wearing a 'sling' on her arm to keep her arm stabilized, because of an injury she got nearly three weeks ago when she fell in the first Martell sprint. On another note, on her 'official' fanpage on Facebook she posted a dry shooting video from Arber, made by me in my hotel room It's a little competition of shooting 4 cartridges as fast as possible, of course without actual munition in it (hence the 'dry shooting') https://www.facebook.com/atletabrunamoura If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

My bad. Good to know she will be participating in the Nordic World Championships! Hopefully they will air the qualification for the 10km on Eurosport like last year, so we can see her in action. (By the way apparently Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Tonga and Trinidad and Tobago are sending skiers.)

heywoodu 13,560 Posted January 24, 2017 #764 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Start lists for the Open European individuals are out, starting with the men:http://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/1617/BT/SCEU/CH__/SMIN/BT_C51A_1.0.pdf Followed in the afternoon by the women:http://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/1617/BT/SCEU/CH__/SWIN/BT_C51A_1.0.pdf Bib 40, vamos A quick count got me to 11 women she can beat under normal circumstances, so let's see how that's going to go tomorrow. The focus should be almost completely on shooting for her If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

The focus should be almost completely on shooting for her I wonder if any more women will qualify for wildcard spots. What I don't understand is the Czech federation's decision to basically cut half of our women's IBU Cup team, who haven't had any worse results than the rest of the team, and who are now racing at only national level. That's why we only have three women there. And then they start complaining about not having any women for the relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had decent results, but were cut for no good reason, and now there are open spaces on the IBU Cup team. And someone like Ludmila Horka, who usually has the worst results, is still there. Maybe it has to do with ski speed and the potential to improve? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
