Gold for Richard of :FRA, Silver to Repnic :SLO and Bronze to Kapustova of :SVK.

Kapustova was the only one to shoot clean.  It was not a good shooting day for the US.  The four went 9,9,9 ,10.  But they skied pretty fast.  Of the top 6 finishers, all were in the top 15 starters.

Would be nice if people who know the results would post them here instead of just naming random medalists ...

Gold: Jeanne Richard (France)

Silver: Lena Repinc (Slovenia)

Bronze: Ema Kapustova (Slovakia)


Interesting that Repinc started first, followed by Andersson (who finished 4th). Richard started 6th and Kapustova started 9th. It looks as if the starting order had an influence on the result.

So already two nations you hadn’t on your list with medals, also Sweden and Belarus pretty close.

Looking at the skiing times, Repinc (born in 2003, by far the best skiing time) seems to be clearly the biggest talent. Zingerle (born in 2002) also had a great skiing time. Very encouraging to see Grotian (born in 2004) from Germany with one of the fastest skiing times despite being 2 years younger than most of the other girls. Richard and Michelon from France also look good. The Russian girls were surprisingly slow, will be interesting to see if they can turn it around (after all it was just one race). Hard to know how much value all of the results have thanks to the Norwegian absence, but it is very hard to imagine that any of the Norwegian girls are on the same talent level as Repinc.

Yep, as I said, mine were only guesses.  Without the four IBU Junior/Youth races cancelled, it is hard to really make an accurate prediction. Even if I was an expert, which I am not, biathlon is so unpredictable.  Which is one of the reasons I assume that we all enjoy it so much.

Does anyone know why Norway was not in the Individual?  Aasne Skrede is one that should do well on the women's side of things.  Are they absent for the entire championship due to the nations ban on hosting winter sports events?  Or was it a decision to ski the Individual?

Oceania is going fantastic, but Campbell's shooting is throwing away a very possible gold :hairpull:

It always amazes me how big federations can’t even care enough about their own sport to hire someone who can create a snowcat decent live timing.

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
