Has everyone put Laegreid in his Fantasy Team ? Because I did 

Sadly, no  

 

Norway is one of those nations where choices really have to be made and I still think JTB is a better choice on the long run

I'm a bit of a gambler you know 

But how can you climb up the rankings in the pursuit if you're always first after the sprint ?

Was that 10th place from Oberhof?

She has an 8th place in Oberhof too

You don't need to climb up if you're already in the lead

You can only fall, I've watched too many Scorsese

Leitner really let me down today. Might have to drop him from the team

I guess that 10th place got stuck with me because of the two misses. As a kid, I was like: "Wooooow. Lithuania could have won this with clean shooting." or something.

[Werloc 3,155]

Wow, if anybody offered me two Lithuanians in the top 40 before today, I would have taken it.

 

A personal best result from Vytautas Strolia in 16th place. His previous best from last season was a 20th place, so he keeps improving with every season.

 

Karol Dombrovski a little slow as always, but with a 19/20 and in points, which doesn't happen often, so you have to be happy when it does. It's his 5th time in the top 40 and the 4th time in the individual.

 

Linas Banys is relatively fresh for the Lithuanian team. He's been running relays for two seasons, but has only raced 3-4 World Cup races on his own, probably first WC Individual race for him though. 17/20 shooting, but also, not the fastest guy in the tour, outside of top 80 for today.

 

Maksim Fomin, World Cup debut, has not even ran in relays before today, got this chance to start because Kaukėnas was tested positive for Covid. 16/20 shooting, but he left 10 men behind him, so that's a start towards his development. We usually start our new talents with a few last places before we actually beat anyone  

 

Very happy with today's results, the women won't be able to ruin my day with whatever they do.

All time best nation cup start. Nearly 300 points, 13th place and that's without Tomas.
