Biathlon IBU World Cup 2020 - 2021

That prone shooting by Hanna Ö. was perfection.

Germany, always the same.  Even if their individual form is poor, they are always in form for the relay.

 

Was that Norway lapped on the range?

The answer is again no

 Yes, they become visible once again, heading for a respectable finish in the high single digits.

As expected, Sweden wins 

Very happy with the French relay! Braisaz scared me a bit in the last shooting though

Well the French girls did really well. If Bescond would not have lost so much time on the first leg, they could be very dangerous. Great ski speed from the two Chevaliers and Braisaz.

[rybak 3,303]

Canada lapped 

 

Also our girls were just 13th... anyway good performance from Żuk

No surprises. Maybe I would change the order in some teams.

US did pretty well in the Relay.  Irwin held her nerve.  It was hard to watch Reid trying to hold off Roeiseland at the wall.  Nothing she could have done there.  Knotten fell on the hill, then had serious trouble on the range.  Tough day for them.  

 

Congratulations to Samulesson.  Great day for the Swedes.

Swiss start and end with their two youngest.  Interesting.  I guess by the time it gets to Hartweg, there will not be a ton of pressure.  US is just trying to not get lapped.  Italy and CZE put their best at 2nd and 4th.  As an aside, I would love to have a team where Dale or Horn could not make it because it was too strong.  Wow.  Just don't get lapped, that is my wish for the US.
