Men:

Jeremy Finello

Niklas Hartweg

Sebastian Stalder

Eligius Tambornino

Benjamin Weger

 

Lena Haeki is the most frustrating biathlete in the WC tour I think.  She could be so good ...  Turning to Hartweg and Stalder is a good sign for the long run, Tamborino is 34, they are the bright future, but I wonder how big their learning curve will be.

Don't know what you mean by "yet" but she's actually due to start her WC career in Hochfilzen (source : an answer to her last IG post) :coffee:

More confirmation of that she will start her World Cup career in Austria.

 

She raced with the Norwegian team this past weekend (she has been training with them for a while now)

 

Here are her results:

He missed 4 shots in the mass start, but only was 12 seconds behind Christiansen who missed two.  Looks like the ski speed is there.

Slovakia Team announced for the opening stages.

 

Since we have only 3 quotas in both genders,

 

The M Team will be represented by Tomáš Hasilla, Michal Šíma and Šimon Bartko.  (After the retirement of Martin Otčenáš any point this season will be a success)

 

The W Team will be represented by Paulína Fialková, Ivona Fialková and Henrieta Horvátová. (The 2nd Post-Kuzmina season will be again a sign of hopes of Slovak biathlon fans inserted on the Fialková sisters shoulders, mainly on the older one "Paja" nowadays clear SVK biathlon number 1)

 

In Relays the teams will be supplemented by Matej Baloga and Veronika Machyniaková.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Remove the Fialková sisters from the list.

 

Due Covid-19 positive tests among their service team Paulína and Ivona are not allowed compete in the opening stage.

 

I guess, this is what you get for organizing final preparation camp in :SWE famously known as the land of no covid measures ... They were there only for 1 week and 4 out of the 7 members of the team are covid positive..

 

The even more frustrating situation is that now the only 2 girls of our team in Kontiolahti will be the young Machyniaková and Horvátová and they will not have any servicemens, because all are stuck now in Sweden with the Fialková sisters...

Will another team help with waxing, on course instructions, or will they really be all alone?  Also is it both weekends or just the first one?

they will have to use the help of the mens team. Our M team has one coach and two servicemens and they will have to care also for both girls. since obviously also altogether with the Fialková sisters service team (aka the Female SVK  national team service team) also the W coach will have to stay in quarantine in Idre.

 

They will pass another tests in Friday, Sunday and Monday, if all tests will be negative they will be allowed to travel to Kontiolahti for the 2nd week, if no our "B" team service team (for the Junior team) will travel to Kontiolahti and they will have to return home to Slovakia.

Imagine having seperate service men for the men's and women's teams :wacko:

 

You've mentioned both Fialkova's out. What are the other names that will be skipping the first stage?

In the frist FISI comunicate, the men's team was completely differente (we had Windish, Cappelari and Bormolini.) After an hour or less, the comunicate disappeared and we have this new one... I think that we had some covid cases

You mean in SVK team ? None.

 

Paja and Ivona were training alone in Idre SWE with their mini-team which is in fact the whole W National Team service team (W NT coach Anna Murínová, and W NT servicemens) the rest of the team, the young Veronika Machyniaková and Henrieta Horvátová were training the last 2 weeks in Obertiliach with the Mens team, They traveled to Kontiolahti with mens (when the W team around Fialková sisters was expected to join them tomorrow)

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
