Despite a somehow weak tradition in cross country, we have some regions almost entirely revolving around it (Vosges, Jura, some parts of the French Alps). Not a lot of people do pratice cross contry skiing, but those who do fare really well, and as Grassmarket said, the elite athletes policy is to do best with the few we have.

The national circuit is empty of over-25yo athletes, either you are good enough to join the national team, or you quit. 

 

Biathlon is really getting popular, as you could see last time Le Grand Bornand hosted the WC, thanks to free to air broadcasting and the great results of the NT. Mostly Tv coverage for France has had its share of great athletes since the 90's.

Yes it’s getting popular, but for example in 2013 there was no opportunity to watch the World Cup in Grand Bornand in TV.

@OlympicsFan I think at the moment there are 2 professional Biathlon places in France: Premanon and Bessans (Haute Maurienne). Le Grand Bornand is only open during the World Cup and in Places like Correncon and Les Saises there is the opportunity to train, but it is not really professional there.

I think the athletes with the most points at junior level will get a wildcard for the World Cup Final. Currently it looks good for Claude on the men’s side and Baserga/Bened on the women’s side.

Thanks. Always wished Germany would do the same. Instead you have older guys/girls who are better than the younger athletes, but not good enough to ever become world class, blocking their spots.

Good races yesterday.  Quick question, is Passler the daughter of Johann Passler the Italian biathlete from the 1980s?  I would assume so, but just wanted to confirm.  

 

Baserga looked really good in the Pursuit.

France picks up another gold in the Youth Women relay.  Slovenia impresses again and Italy with the bronze.  The US youth women really suffered on the range today with 7 penalty loops!

 

Estonia in 4th after two legs in the Youth men.  They have avoided the penalty look and doing well.

    • 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)
