F*ck you IBU, showing all first 10 starters, then showing someone passing the 1st intermediate and skipping to the start of bib 12

She's been throwing down 0's and 1's a lot in training this season in prone position, now finally she managed to do it in a competition! Standing is a different story, a lot of trouble in training, but Wednesday she shot clean in the last standing bout...so come on.

Two misses...oh well, there's a clear rise in performance compared to earlier this month

 

Not gonna be a 'you'll get a new rifle'-kind of performance, but a good one to end the biathlon part of the season

Only 1 miss for Poliakova, only 1 miss for Fialkova...not bad

She gets a new rifle after every good performance?

No, she'll get her first actually new rifle when she gets a result below 200 IBU points

yes especially Ivona with a very pleasant performance, this was one of her last chances to make the criterias for 3rd trimester. and she was very good today.

Poliaková is still very slow, in her case her only chance for a relatively decent result is a perfect shooting, each loop cost her a ton of places down...unfortunately it´s a whole season problem
