Well, I didn't think that. Another run one day after 15/20 km? I was sure that there will be changes :p 

Those that were replaced were definitely not replaced because of their tired legs after a 15/20. Nearly all of them finished between 70-100 and the teams don't usually consider the well being of their weakest athletes that much.

What did you expect? That they'll change this from top 20? ;)

I'm just saying that these swaps are not because of coaches considering athletes after a 15/20km run.

 

It's a mix of underperformers getting replaced as well, as some youngsters coming in that don't have the legs for 20k yet and some teams are putting forward their faster skiers that don't shoot as well.

I think the Swiss switch to Tamborino instead of Hartwig was more about getting Hartwig a start and was planned.  Stadler did worse that Hartwig, 54 vs 60, but he is still in the sprint.  To me, that seems like it was a planned switch.

Less than 24 hours between the races, you'd probably expect the teams to not go too crazy and not switch around the athletes during a Covid year, but it happened.

 

Oryashkov (101st) for Bulgaria out, Todev, 19yo in

Millar (98th) out for Canada, Burnotte, 23yo in

Krupcik (76th) out for Czech Republic, Mikyska, 20yo in

Siimer (85th) out for Estonia, Raenkel, 30yo in

Ranta (66th) out for Finland, Hiidensalo, 29yo in

Beletskiy (95th) out for Kazakhstan, Sirik, 26yo in

Balodis (58th) and Slotins (96th) out for Latvia, Matjuhins 19yo, Birkentals 19yo in

Skorusa (94th) out for Poland, Szwajnos, 22yo in

Trsan (69th) out for Slovenia, Cisar, 20yo in

Hartweg (54th) out for Switzerland, Tambornino, 34yo in

Baloga (92nd) out for Slovakia, Bartko, 24yo in

Dudchenko (99th) out for Ukraine, Lesiuk, 24yo in

 

Women, imagine that, have 104 starters compared to 101 men. Which sport can actually boast about that?

 

Sola (66th) out for Belarus, Kruchinkina I., 25yo in

Vobornikova (82nd) out for Czech Republic, Tepla, 21yo in

Lehtonen (79th) out for Finland, Laari, 30yo in

Weidel (68th) out for Germany, Schneider, 23yo in

Kolomiyets (86th) out for Kazakhstan, Klimina, 31yo in

Ko (100th) and Kim (101st) out for South Korea, Mun 32yo, Frolina 36yo in

Puce, 21yo is in for Latvia, moving them up to two starters

Goreeva (56th) out for Russia, Mironova, 26yo in

Selina Gasparin did not start in the individual for unknown reasons, but she is in the startlist for the sprint

Bekh (64th) out for Ukraine, Valj Semerenko, 34yo in

Phaneuf (75th) out for United States, Irwin, 28yo in

 

So remember, you have to do good or you might get replaced by an IBU cup athlete.

 

@Werloc  Thanks for compiling this list!

After today, it's only the twelth time that a Lithuanian biathlete makes it into the top 20. A lot of it is still dominated by Diana, but Vytautas and Tomas still have a career ahead of them.

 

1. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 8th place, 2011/12 season, Oberhof Sprint

2. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 10th place, 2009/10 season, Oberhof Sprint

3. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 11th place, 2008/09 season, Pyeong Chang WCH Sprint

4. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 11th place, 2006/07 season, Pokljuka Sprint

5. Tomas Kaukėnas, 13th place, 2018 Pyeong Chang Olympic Games Pursuit

6. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 15th place, 2011/12 season, Khantiy-Mansiysk Sprint

7. Vytautas Strolia, 16th place, 2020/21 season, Kontiolahti Individual

8. Tomas Kaukėnas, 17th place, 2018 Pyeong Chang Olympic Games Sprint

9. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 18th place, 2006 Turino Olympics Games Sprint

10. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 18th place, 2013/14 season, Ostersund Individual

11. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 19th place, 2009/10 season, Rupholding Sprint

12. Vytautas Strolia, 20th place, 2019/20 season, Oberhof Sprint

 

There are further three Lithuanians that have made top 40 in the past

 

25th Karol Dombrovski, 2018/19 season, Pokljuka Individual

27th Natalija Kočergina, 2018/19 season, Ostersund WCH Sprint

39th Gabrielė Leščinskaitė, 2014/15 season, Kontiolahti WCH Individual

 

A humble history for Lithuanian biathlon, but yes, only six athletes have made it into the top 40 at least once and we're in this for like 20 years.

 

Only Diana Rasimovičiūtė is no longer active.

Can we have Karol Dombrovski back? He'd be an immediate upgrade for our men's team :p

I don't think he was ever yours to begin with? 

 

Born and raised in Lithuania and did all his junior and senior races for Lithuania.

 

Just because he has a Polish surname, doesn't mean you can claim him :p

    • A question about delay qualification to LA 2028:    either you are among top 12 at the WCH, then you get 2 additional spots, or you have 4 swimmers there anyway and they can compete as relay, is that right?    now following scenario:  lets say an NOĆ has only one swimmer with A standard , let’s say 100m freestyle, and no other  swimmer qualified in any other discipline, but they are 12th in 4x100 freestyle at the WCH.  they would get two additional quota, but would have to decline them as they can’t compose a relay with 3 swimmers? Is this correct?

    • If anyone is interested, here is a link to a GeoGuessr Challenge.   It's in single player. There are 5 rounds total, and you have to pinpoint on a map as close as you can to the actual location that you spawned at. For this particular challenge, you have a time limit of 10 minutes per round and you can move as much as you want.   Since this is Totallympics, thought this particular map would be an appropriate theme. There is a flag at the start of each location that's supposed to help you identify where you are.   You can do this challenge at any time (no need to coordinate times with other users) and you only need a regular account, not a premium account.

    • Puerto Rico beats  Cuba 4-1 and advances to the quarterfinals.   The Canada vs. Cuba matchup on Wednesday will decide who will be the 2nd team to advance from Pool A.
    • I mean you don't need 2 weeks for a 12 team tournament. The 20-team WBC is already 13 days and they are stretching the final stages. You can probably get away doing it in 9-10 days, including rain contingency.
    • The 6 teams is very disappointing, but I think there would be no chance the MLB would allow players is the competition took the entire length of the Olympics. Giving players one week off is manageable, two weeks is near impossible from the MLB perspective.   IOC probably had to decide between having 8-12 teams w/o MLB players or 6 teams with possibly having MLB players.
    • Home Runs by Judge & Anthony!!  with an impressive 5-0 lead early in the game!
    • Puerto Rico jumps out to an early 3-0 lead against Cuba   Venezuela up 4-0 against Nicaragua. Looking good for their 3rd win.
