Agh, so unfortunate ://// Vytautas Strolia missed the mass start by some 1 or 2 athletes :( 

Are you telling us that Sima not only achieved a massive PB, but also instantly qualified for the mass start? :yikes: Or do the results from the last Oberhof weekend also count?

 

Anyway, freak results for Rastorgujevs, Sima. First points of the season for Kazakhstan, I guess. And points for Russia Moldova, too.

US put three into the pursuit!  Not too bad at all.  By the way, I love the drone that they are using for the downhill.

Would be very impressive - if there was a pursuit.  :banana:

 

Two relays & two mass starts to come.

COUNT THE VOTE

 

Honestly, if last week Oberhof would count, Vytautas would be in perhaps :lol:

 

I don't know if my calculations are correct, but I think the mass start qualifiers end in Femling, with Sima and Strolia being the first two overboard.

Meanwhile, Bulgaria's absence today instantly dropped them 4 (!) places in the NC rankings.


Hopefully IBU will publish some OQ clarification soon.

Wait, isn't it 6 sprints, 3 relays, 1 individual, 1 mixed relay and 1 single mixed best performances?

This !

 

No one know how exactly this is supposed to work, we heard rumors the period being extended until next mid-season or after 1st next season trimester, also some worst races being scratched for each nation...but still nothing precise, 1 year from the olympics and we still dont know how will teams qualify...

It still is.

 

OQ period stretches from November 28th, 2020 to January 16th, 2022. As much as we hate it, the full Olympic line-ups won't be known until three weeks before the games.

 

Top 3 nations in Olympic ranking will send 6 athletes. 4th-10th - five athletes, 11th-20th will be allowed to field a relay.

 

For nations outside Top 20 - 12 individual wild cards based on performances in non-relay World Cup & IBU Cup races.

 

I just checked on twitter with the best Polish biathlon journalist. He confirmed this is how the OQ works as of today.

A little more on the Fialková sisters. I hope they recover and are able to right the proverbial ship.

 

OEC will take place in Poland as planned, and the Arber schedule is slightly changed.  This is due to the tons of people registered.  The men have 190 and the women 170.  There are going to be some massive time gaps and that course is going to be really busy.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
