[rybak 3,431]

I will not say anything about our performance today because I don't want to see this post as deleted later...

 

Day to forgot. Surely tomorrow we will have better results because it can't be worse as it was today.

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

It's not just a Polish surname. He was born in Polish family, he speaks Polish, he even was active in Polish community in Vilnus. Of course I'm not saying that he should change nationality or something, but it's not just a name

Veronika Machyniaková, 20/20 yesterday. 20th fastest shooting time !......but 99th skiing time (only 2 slower skiers yesterday)

So..

I Just finished to read the reactions of our both girls who started yesterday.

 

They didn't know what to expect, very small experiences in this event, Horvátová never run a 15km individual before, and suddenly hop both were thrown into a lion's hole in the world cup, without their physiotherapist or coach. Plus, with lousy start numbers with the task of not losing much and trying to limit the damages in the nations cup...

 

 

They both knew that if they wanted to at least get closer to the goal, they needed to shoot extremely well with as few mistakes as possible.

and they succeeded. Only one miss from the 40 targets (Horvátová the very last 20th shot).

 

They were so happy with their shooting, sadly Biathlon is a sport composed of 2 different sports

 

and in the latter they struggled extremely.

Veronika Machyniaková despite perfect shooting had only 2 girls who were slower on the track yesterday...

 

 

Both will have to start in the sprint today ! Gonna be hard for them after yesterday, but again there is too much in the game to just give up

 

Hell Kudos for the girls to fight with this pressure. but in other hand with such skiing I start to think if it would be really fair and deserved to qualify a relay to the games

You got to be kidding me     

 

Lithuanian women are in 20th place in the nation cup 

 

We only have two, what are we gonna do guys?

 

Does anybody know a Russian in need of citizenship for next year, just in case we qualify to the Olympics?   

What about that class shooter / weekend skier you already have? Jesi- something.

[Grassmarket 4,303]

Off we go....going to be a quick race with all the big contenders starting in Groups 1 & 2.

[dcro 10,211]

Oh my... JTB looks a lot like Froome.

[Grassmarket 4,303]

The wind gauge is back!  
 

 

....and no sooner does it appear, it gets fired & replaced with the time into the range graphic.  

[heywoodu 16,465]

And again the wind gauge was there for the very first shooting of the very first athlete and already not anymore for the rest, the fuck are they doing?

I suppose as long as the Fialkovas are active you just have to pretend there is depth for the sake of the relay? Wheels will only come off once Fialkovas retire?
