Biathlon IBU World Cup 2020 - 2021

[RobtheAggie 340]

US with a 6th and 3rd.  I think this is the first time they have ever been on the podium for the SM relay.  Great week for Susan Dunklee.

I actually want JTB to take it, because I despise that rule that takes off your worst performances and this time there's 4 taken off.

 

Feels like people are losing globes due to this rule year after year.

Swedish men really need to buckle down, the women's team has a lot of opportunities for replacements and Stina Nilsson wouldn't even come to mind this year as a possibility, the men though, Stegmayr is definitely far off the best, Femling is somewhat a hit or miss as well. Brandt and Stefansson were also not the answers, so it looks like there is a generation gap of talent that needs to be fixed, because Seb and Ponsi can't really carry the team forever.

Johannes Bö with Bib 1 tomorrow, so he has the opportunity to have always the number 1 this weekend 

102 Women https://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/2021/BT/SWRL/CP10/SWSP/C51A_v1.pdf

102 Men https://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/2021/BT/SWRL/CP10/SMSP/C51A_v1.pdf

 

Interesting that the winners of the last IBU Cup sprints (Goreeva and F. Andersen) both have the last number tomorrow.

Makes sense. I think he was the most talented guy at the junior worlds. It was super impressive that he was among the best in the cross-country despite being two years younger than most of the other top guys. He looks like a 10 year old kid too, so he has a lot of room to grow and become even faster. If I remember correctly his dad? is from Norway, so it might be in his genes to be good in cross-country. France also has some girls who are good enough to get a chance and I hope that girls like Passler, Skrede and especially Repinc will become regulars in the World Cup too sooner rather than later.
