Colombo misses out by 0,4 secs so Kinga Zbylut will score the final point in 40th.

 

Hojnisz 31st, Zuk 36th. A small bounce back for after yesterday's disaster.

I'm not sure if was Austrialia or Greenland... I will check my notes after the winter sport full-immersion 

Yeah, people often confuse Australia & Greenland.  It’s the kangaroos.

Fairly sure it was Greenland, I do remember Ukaleq has a brother

Are you sure about that? I've never heard of her having a (biathlete) brother, let alone one competing at an international level. I haven't heard much of Jeremy Flanagan anymore in recent times and I think Jethro Mahon is still a while away from WC level. There's Damon Morton as well, brother of Darcie Morton if I'm not mistaken, but again, fairly sure he's not at WC level yet..

Scratch this, partially. Damon Morton can never compete or even train anymore, he has a health problem because of which anything with a high intensity is strictly off limits due to serious danger. There's no cure for it apparently, it can only be treated to keep it under control while not exercising too hard.

Wow, that’s the same thing I have!  Sitting in a comfortable chair & eating chocolate is the only thing that helps.

Thanks to the brand new Blue Bib, we can look at the ages of the athletes a bit more closely ...

So for the women : 54 point scorers, 14 U25 (96+) within which only one U23  (98+) 

For the men : 48 point scorers, 5 U25, 1 U23 (Tuomas Harjula )

Makes sense why they made it U25. There are a lot of teams where you don't really get to make the team in your early twenties and those youngsters that do make it, are usually not high scorers.

Very poor Performance from Simon so far! It already has been shown in Wiesbaden and at France Championships that she is far a way from fast skiing, but that was so terrible These two Days. In My opinion she would not even make the Relay Team (Bescond - Brasiaz - Chevalier C. - Chevalier A.). That‘s so dissapointing After Last Season.

She reminds me a lot To Marie Laure Brunet. Fast and Good shooting, But so Slow on Skis.

 

By the way Great Performance from Anais Chevalier. Last Race in March 2019 and today fourth fastest ski Time. I‘m impressed ... could be the leading french Women this year, because Braisaz‘s shooting Time is ...
