Wow, I would love to see the reaction: "Hmm... Where am I supposed to shoot?"

 

Faur received penalty because he jumped the start. That information was written during the race.

 

 

 

here is his reactions after the race in slovak, you can use a translator http://www.biatlon-info.sk/spravodajstvo/svetovy-pohar/372-fourcade-v-nedelu-ukazal-do-ktorych-ruk-patri-zlato-aj-otcenas-sa-vyborne-posunul

in the bottom of the article in the quote square under the  : Vyjadrenie Martina Otčenáša (24. miesto, kariérny výsledok na MS)

 

in short he said that when he arrived to the shooting range the juges showed him where he have to lie, but there were still a lot of peoples shooting, so he didn´t knew what to do and since you can´t return back to another range and shoot from another place in order to not be disqualified so he just raised his hand and called for the judges, so they  counted how many seconds the guy who was shooting in his range spend untill he finished..and it occured to be 12 seconds

 

great organization

Good news

Great to see that pretty much all the favorites will start late, this way there is more time to build up excitement, so we will be able to enjoy the race until the very end.
I hope that Kaisa will win ahead of Vittozzi and Wierer, but thats not very realistic. I think Koukalova, Kaisa and especially Domracheva should be considered as top favorites. Dahlmeier has to hope that all of them miss at least one shot, otherwise she wont have a chance for gold.

Meanwhile, Koukalova is behind Niciporenko after first shooting. Gotta love the individual races, everything is possible.
