And, waiting the Boe's brother, Fillon is actually the biggest favourite for the today victory...

I think Lescinskaite improved her speed, no?

Yes, little by little she is getting better.

[Werloc 3,191]

Sadly, we are slow as fuck today.

 

Can't believe Vytautas 0+1 and he is not even going to get a single point, 50 seconds behind of athletes that he was even with less than 5 days ago.

 

And then when he's fast, you're almost sure he'll miss 2 or 3

 

Tomas Kaukėnas and Linas Banys is an absolute disaster. if you're not quick, try to aim at least  50% hitrate is not to be tolerated.

Claudes standing speed is incredible.

Great outing for Finland - two in Top 18, third one in pursuit! Gerdzhikov scores rare points in his career.

Unbelievable and also extremely worrying fact that SVK has still zero points this WC season among mens and womens... seriously I would never believe it is possible after 10 individual races already

Can't believe this is his first podium! He's been in the top 10 in quite a lot of races so I forgot he hadn't been on a podium yet

Interesting changes in Sweden, French and German Team

I don't know if I'd classify them as interesting changes, moreso I'd say logical changes.

 

Persson was never that behind in skill from Brorsson, so it is cool that she got the chance and we can only assume that Swedish coaching staff valued Skottheim's starting leg so they didn't replace her even if Brorsson ran a better sprint today.

 

For France, Julia Simon was very strong last season and after today's sprint it seems that she is yet again capable to put in a strong performance. It's just that the French team is such a wildcard everytime, you never know what's going to happen with the shooting.

 

Lastly for Germany, this is probably the saddest year for German women biathlon. The fact that Schneider hasn't landed in a top 80 this season, Hinz is absolutely irrelevant so far too, yet they're not replaced by German B team, because there's really no strong, suitable replacements, it's not that surprising that Hettich gets put in the relay after a good sprint. The depth of athletes is really screwed for Germany right now and I have no idea what happened. Early retirements on the women's field hit Germany so hard.
