Well, I didn't think that. Another run one day after 15/20 km? I was sure that there will be changes :p 

Those that were replaced were definitely not replaced because of their tired legs after a 15/20. Nearly all of them finished between 70-100 and the teams don't usually consider the well being of their weakest athletes that much.

What did you expect? That they'll change this from top 20? ;)

I'm just saying that these swaps are not because of coaches considering athletes after a 15/20km run.

 

It's a mix of underperformers getting replaced as well, as some youngsters coming in that don't have the legs for 20k yet and some teams are putting forward their faster skiers that don't shoot as well.

I think the Swiss switch to Tamborino instead of Hartwig was more about getting Hartwig a start and was planned.  Stadler did worse that Hartwig, 54 vs 60, but he is still in the sprint.  To me, that seems like it was a planned switch.

Less than 24 hours between the races, you'd probably expect the teams to not go too crazy and not switch around the athletes during a Covid year, but it happened.

 

Oryashkov (101st) for Bulgaria out, Todev, 19yo in

Millar (98th) out for Canada, Burnotte, 23yo in

Krupcik (76th) out for Czech Republic, Mikyska, 20yo in

Siimer (85th) out for Estonia, Raenkel, 30yo in

Ranta (66th) out for Finland, Hiidensalo, 29yo in

Beletskiy (95th) out for Kazakhstan, Sirik, 26yo in

Balodis (58th) and Slotins (96th) out for Latvia, Matjuhins 19yo, Birkentals 19yo in

Skorusa (94th) out for Poland, Szwajnos, 22yo in

Trsan (69th) out for Slovenia, Cisar, 20yo in

Hartweg (54th) out for Switzerland, Tambornino, 34yo in

Baloga (92nd) out for Slovakia, Bartko, 24yo in

Dudchenko (99th) out for Ukraine, Lesiuk, 24yo in

 

Women, imagine that, have 104 starters compared to 101 men. Which sport can actually boast about that?

 

Sola (66th) out for Belarus, Kruchinkina I., 25yo in

Vobornikova (82nd) out for Czech Republic, Tepla, 21yo in

Lehtonen (79th) out for Finland, Laari, 30yo in

Weidel (68th) out for Germany, Schneider, 23yo in

Kolomiyets (86th) out for Kazakhstan, Klimina, 31yo in

Ko (100th) and Kim (101st) out for South Korea, Mun 32yo, Frolina 36yo in

Puce, 21yo is in for Latvia, moving them up to two starters

Goreeva (56th) out for Russia, Mironova, 26yo in

Selina Gasparin did not start in the individual for unknown reasons, but she is in the startlist for the sprint

Bekh (64th) out for Ukraine, Valj Semerenko, 34yo in

Phaneuf (75th) out for United States, Irwin, 28yo in

 

So remember, you have to do good or you might get replaced by an IBU cup athlete.

 

@Werloc  Thanks for compiling this list!

After today, it's only the twelth time that a Lithuanian biathlete makes it into the top 20. A lot of it is still dominated by Diana, but Vytautas and Tomas still have a career ahead of them.

 

1. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 8th place, 2011/12 season, Oberhof Sprint

2. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 10th place, 2009/10 season, Oberhof Sprint

3. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 11th place, 2008/09 season, Pyeong Chang WCH Sprint

4. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 11th place, 2006/07 season, Pokljuka Sprint

5. Tomas Kaukėnas, 13th place, 2018 Pyeong Chang Olympic Games Pursuit

6. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 15th place, 2011/12 season, Khantiy-Mansiysk Sprint

7. Vytautas Strolia, 16th place, 2020/21 season, Kontiolahti Individual

8. Tomas Kaukėnas, 17th place, 2018 Pyeong Chang Olympic Games Sprint

9. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 18th place, 2006 Turino Olympics Games Sprint

10. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 18th place, 2013/14 season, Ostersund Individual

11. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 19th place, 2009/10 season, Rupholding Sprint

12. Vytautas Strolia, 20th place, 2019/20 season, Oberhof Sprint

 

There are further three Lithuanians that have made top 40 in the past

 

25th Karol Dombrovski, 2018/19 season, Pokljuka Individual

27th Natalija Kočergina, 2018/19 season, Ostersund WCH Sprint

39th Gabrielė Leščinskaitė, 2014/15 season, Kontiolahti WCH Individual

 

A humble history for Lithuanian biathlon, but yes, only six athletes have made it into the top 40 at least once and we're in this for like 20 years.

 

Only Diana Rasimovičiūtė is no longer active.

Can we have Karol Dombrovski back? He'd be an immediate upgrade for our men's team :p

I don't think he was ever yours to begin with? 

 

Born and raised in Lithuania and did all his junior and senior races for Lithuania.

 

Just because he has a Polish surname, doesn't mean you can claim him :p

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
