Paulína today with the 18th fastest skiing but unfortunately 3 minutes penalties was too much today. In overall we failed today because of shooting, the same for Gereková  with relatively decent skiing but same shooting performance as Paulína Fialková. Her sister Ivona was even faster during the first half of the race but then missed 4th and 5th target in 3rd shooting and apparently gave up since her times in last 2 laps were less better, but still overall 34th fastest skiing is very good for our youngest team member. pitty only Paulína finished on points..

 

In the Nations Cup we are still 17th some 218 points behind 16th USA and some 275 points in front of 18th Japan. The olympic qualifiers is still undecided since the ex-Russian girls are keeping Koreans chances for 5 quotas still alive, they are right now 21st 803 points behind us...

 

In other hand it´s official that we will have 2 biathletes in the mass start. Nastya Kuzmina with BIB 22 and Paulína Fialková will experience her great debut in this event with BIB 25. however the Kuzmina starts in fridays relay and sundays Mass Start are still questionable, hopefully she will feel good and will start. :fingers:

Koukalova is just :bowdown::) Moravec doing quite well too. But the rest of the time is doing quite poorly. Surprised to see Vitkova shooting very unevenly. Not looking good for the relays, and it seems Koukalova is our only medal hope. Vitkova isn't even in the mass start, which is the first time in years :( 

I genuinely thought Koukalova was going to win that race. Can't wait to see her and Dahlmeier face off in the mass start.

Also hats off to Amanda Lightfoot, getting world cup points! :GBR Britain is kind of my second team. I watch these on British Eurosport as well.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • 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 ,
