Russian women win the relay going 2+9.  Only 7 teams finished the race, the US were in 7th.  13 started the race.  The US finished 5+15, but left the shoot #2 in 2nd place with Maddie Phaneuf going 0-0 and handed over in 4th place.  Nice job by her!

 

Men's relay in about 90 min.

Nice job today by Egorova :RUS, Johansen :NOR and Erdal :NOR in the women's Sprint.  Over 1/3 of the women had either zero or only one misses.  Oberthaler was DQ.  Not sure why.

 

As an aside, UK had Amanda Lightfoot race, so whatever had kept her out of the single-mixed relay at the World Championships is now gone.

Finland with a surprise 3rd in the men's short individual.  Rivail of France and Cappellari finish 1st and 2nd with Laitinen and Strelow of Germany tying for 3rd.  Cappellari was the only one to shoot clear.

 

Voigi of Germany won the Gold with a clean shoot for Germany.  She was the only one to do so.  Goreeva (2nd) and Chauveau (3rd) both missed 3 shots.

 

In the men's sprint from this morning, Nawrath took the win, A. Andersen 2nd and Rivail 3rd.  Bjoentegaard finished 4th.  I do not see how he gets back onto the World Cup team. I would not be surprised if he retired this summer.  There were 4 other Norwegians in the top 12, all younger than him.  

 

15 shot clean, with Vsivtsev of Estonia being one of them.  Even with a clean shoot, he finished in 93rd place 4:01 behind.  A little more random analysis, no Norwegian shot clean in the sprint, 3 Germans did, 3 Italians, 2 Russians, 1 Slovak, 1 Slovene, 1 Belgian, and 1 from Moldova.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
