Biathlon IBU Junior & Youth World Championships 2021


Recommended Posts

Surprising gold for Germany, considering that it wasn’t Riethmüller who won it. Sadly Riethmüller seems to have regressed, which probably means that he won’t be the savior for German men’s biathlon. Germany now has won 3 of the last 4 men’s individual races at junior level, which shows that results at this level shouldn’t be overestimated.

 

I think at this age level the best talents (apart from Giacomel (Italy, 2000), Bionaz (Italy, 2000) and Andersen (Norway, 1999)) are Cisar (Slovenia, 2000), Claude (France, 1999) and Perrot (France, 2001).

Great performance from Lipowitz today :yes. Riehtmueller looked good on skis, but to many misses for a medal.

The Rest of the German team, especially in the Youth Category, looked not that well.

But in the sprints everything could be really different ...

Interesting take. Riethmüller doesn’t seem to have improved in skiing from last year, which is a bad sign. Today multiple younger guys (Zingerle, Perrot) had better skiing times than him. Also at the youth level there was a german guy who finished 5th (and would have won gold with one less miss), much better than Riethmüller. On the women’s side Grotian had a top 5 skiing time despite being 2 years younger than many of her competitors.

Congrats to todays winners:

Youth Women Sprint:

Repinc - :SLO

Zingerle - :ITA

Grotian - :GER

 

6 shot clean, with all 60 who qualified for the Pursuit within in 3:16 of each other.

 

For the Youth Men Sprint:

Irodov - :RUS

Piller Cottrer - :ITA

Gunka - :POL

 

Only three shot clean.  With 2:57 between the 1st and 60th.  The US managed to get all 4 in the Pursuit.  That was a surprise to me.  Campbell Wright missed 5 targets and still came in 29th, 1:54 behind.

Already 8 different nations with medals (6 of those already with multiple medals). Norway and Sweden still without medal, so we should definitely get to 10 different nations winning at least one medal. Very impressive race again by Irodov, maybe he can be the first? athlete to win all individual golds. Slovenia has both top end talents (Repinc, Cisar) and good depth, they could definitely finish top 3 in medal table.
 

Maybe someone from Italy knows if Piller Cottrer is related to the former cross country skier?

Yes, he's his son

Women’s junior sprint:

Gold for Baserga :SUI (0 misses)

Silver for Passler :ITA (1 miss)

Bronze for Arnekleiv :NOR (1 miss)

 

Goreeva (3 misses) from Russia with superior skiing speed, would have won gold with 1 miss.

May sound harsh, but the German women should all retire as soon as possible. They are so far away when it comes to skiing speed that there is absolutely no hope for them at senior level. I don’t know what the german Coaches do professionally, but they definitely shouldn’t be paid for coaching. I am completely shocked how it is possible that every single athlete is that horrible in cross-country skiing. I doubt that they would be any slower if their coaches would actively try to sabotage them (which already might be the case). Compared to them Janina Hettich looks like a transcendental talent in cross-country skiing.

Super excited for Beserga.  Slettlemark did not start.  Too bad, that was the last solid chance for Greenland to get a medal.  Her brother will start 1:42 back in the pursuit. It would take something really special for that to happen.  So my guess of Greenland will not happen.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
