I just checked it and I wanted posted the same thing. That are really huge numbers! I wonder if there will be situation that all 30 shooting positions will be occupied and someone will have to wait for their time to shooting

Even  will have their competitor at men's sprint, 35yo Christopher Gomez Mateos! @mrv86

 

And take the note @heywoodu 

 

Edit:  will be there as well, with Brian Kennedy @OlympicIRL

What madness is this, somewhere around bibs 38-44 something went wrong obviously, but what?

Can't express how annoyed I was with that entire situation. Perhaps even more annoyed than the fact that we have no one capable of anything apart from the A team.

It's been fixed now. Bosnian Lalovic probably had rocket skis, surely it's not another timing issue!

That's what happens when there's no first trimester and no Junior Cup

Yeah, good chance the Mexicans came to pick up some 'easy' money for starting  (being 20+ minutes behind on skiing speed alone, one would find it hard to imagine they are in some way or shape trying to go to the Olympics in cross-country skiing for example and using this as preparation)

 

Brian is also a part of the larger team the Australians and Brazilians are part of, by the way.

Wonderful 27th place for Crni.

 

Still, with too many misses. At this point, I can't even remember the last time he shot clean, on either prone or stand.

Great news! Best luck to him

 

Another good news: Mexico is apparently now an IBU member, so only FIL to join amongst Olympic federations.
