I think it is fair to say that it is, unless it happened somewhere before 2005. The best ever result that I could find previously was 2012 Dzenis Avdic (Youth) 35th in an individual race.

Question to all:

 

Quote

In each IBU Cup trimester, each competitor must score 250 IBU qualifying points or less at least once, or have 250 points or less on the IBU qualifying points list, and demonstrate safe competence in skiing and on the shooting range. Competitors who fail to reach this quality performance standard may not start in the IBU Cup until the second following trimester unless they have currently qualified for the WC. 

 

I can only find this about qualifying for the IBU Cup, but is it possible to participate in the 2nd trimester without having participated in the 1st trimester? I was confident I read somewhere that, if you didn't compete in trimester X, you can compete in trimester Y, but I can't find it anymore. 

 

What I'm certain about is this: if one doesn't get less than 250 points in a trimester, the athlete has to sit out one trimester and can compete in the next one (so don't get it in trimester 1, then you can compete in trimester 3 again). But can this be 'transferred'? Meaning: if a certain athlete competed in trimester 2 of this season without getting less than 250 points, can this athlete instead of competing in trimester 1 of next season instead skip T1 and compete in T2 of next season?

Wow, I did not expect Carrara, invisible all season, to take gold here, and with a fantastic skiing time as well
