Still no China. I'm guessing we can put a big questionmark next to this qualification system right now. :rolleyes:

 

IFs tend to be generous with future hosts, let alone the next ones. :finger:

I read today an article published on site of Polish Biathlon Association that timeline of qualifications are extended and deadline of scoring points will be at 16th January 2022. So, China still might have relay if they will take part in next season.

US Women keep the same 4 - Maddie Phaneuf still the odd woman out.

Swiss Women have the 3 Gasparin, Haecki, as well as Cadurish - no change.

 

Wierer goes 9th and Eckhoff goes 85th

 

Swiss men keep Hartweg out of the race.  Stalder, Tamborino and Finello join the Beard.

US has Paul Schommer in the first group (?) starting right behind Loginov, and just ahead of Fak, Eberhard and the Swedish missile Ponsiluoma.  

 

Boe's are 89th and dead last on the start list.  

 

Men's List

Women's List

 

People will pay attention the entire races tomorrow.

Greenland having a biathlete wow

Her parents were international biathletes as well, and to make things more interesting: her dad is born in Brazil :p

 

Also, and not unimportant, Ukaleq herself is actually a youth world champion! Don't be surprised to see her getting World Cup points somewhere in the next one or two seasons.

Ahem! Some of us were around when her parents were competing.  :old:
 

Greenland is not an Olympic nation, though - they had to compete for Denmark.

I think everybody here was around when they were competing, unless we have some newborn lurking :d

Considering her mom was still competing last season (or the season before), that'd be really impressive if we have someone here who wasn't around then :d

    • 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.
