It's a tight fight between probably two or three countries to get inside the top-30 (women) and get a second women's quota...

This was also the Brazilian goal, but one might wonder how much of it is still alive. At the very least Jaque Mourão will have to start in all the other races she can do (because yes, there has indeed apparently been an exception made so not only yesterday's top-2 is qualified, as was rumoured yesterday).

 

 

Interestingly, Greece and Lithuania remain without a basic quota, but might get one based off their ranking.

Not bad. Lithuanian 15-year olds are sitting ducks, while the likes of Armenia, Greece or even Thailand are beatable.

Only the U23 races count, not the junior races.

So Wikipedia is wrong, to the shock of no one. :p

 

Anyway, this means no cheap quota for Lithuanian women this time. Today was their last chance  @Werloc

Well, Lithuania could actually get one quota through the Nation’s Ranking, even though they’ll miss the opportunity to get a basic quota.

Honestly, should Lithuania care? :lol: 

 

Our cc-skiing is absolutely abyssmal, I just hope Dainytė gets bribed to join biathlon, she only lost 2:39 to Bendika, that's salvagable, very very salvagable.

Curious which countries are going for last-ditch qualifying efforts at the Engadin World Cup in two weeks..

Apparently they didn't care much as it is. Just sending Kočergina to Oberstdorf for a training run would have been quite enough to earn qualification (which would then be transferrable to one of the youngsters). :p

Bruna hugging all around on the finish line with Dominguez, not so much with Mourao :d

I did, when she stopped at the end of the finish area. But the camera didn't show that. And yes, I was specifically waiting for Ceci because we are always supporting each other despite of our races against each other in South America

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
    • Dave Ryding's Sixth was the best from a  man since 1934!  We actually have two Women's Golds in the 1930s.
    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats
