For the first time in million years Latvian relay didn't get lapped.

no, never...we simply will never be there, top 10 is just cursed...meh, maybe next season will be luckiest for our colours, this one was(is) just paintful

[Werloc 3,164]

Well, we really messed up our chances for 5 quota's in the Olympics, just because two of our leaders couldn't avoid the penalty loop

 

Beautiful skiing by Landertinger, happy for Austria.

12th place, the best seasons relay result achieved at world championships, this is a certainly good result, pitty for the slow skiing times, the top 10 was today very close, but well, we haven´t 4 equal competitors for a top 10 relay so far, even if Michal Šíma really had a good race today, perfect shooting and a decent skiing, surprisingly he was able to fight for the top 10 untill the end. Maybe a better shooting in 3rd leg by Tomáš Hasilla would ranked us among the dreamed ten, but well, what can we do, the guys tried their best, this is just the top of their posibilities they can do right now, but still it´s a fine result compared to the previous relays.

 

In the Nations Cup we moved to 15th place, overpassing Kazakhstan by 5 points. 557 points advantage against 18th Romania for next season World Cup 4 starters and 991 points ahead of Latvia for the 5 WOG quotas.
