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

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
