The thing is she can’t make the Christmas races in Turkey because her manager is busy at Christmas and no one else can take her there. So then there’s 2 races in Turkey and 2 in Iran at the same time. She could possibly do 3 in Turkey but it would be rough timing. So would you say Iran just because of the points? Last year only 6 women showed up, so it’s a bit risky in terms of numbers. It's a tough choice. But my experience tells me that those who score around 400 in mainland Europe don't have problems at races in exotic countries, so she should still make it in Turkey.

Apparently Iran might be moved to another date. If that happens she can do both. If not I guess we’ll see how likely Iran can be run successfully- the points do look very attractive, and she’ll be doing many Balkan races anyway. So far she’s just done Scandinavia/ Western Europe. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go for the "easier" field Definitely go for the easier field, although the main 'advantage' of those Balkan races is that it's more likely there will be at least five athletes (basically 99% sure I'd say), which is needed to get FIS points.

I hope both can happen. But yeah. You never know. We’ll confirm if Iran is viable. Travel and visa costs are also a factor. Oh um Bogota winner was like 220 points. Still ok?

In regular interval starts it seems like 140 FIS points is the start for any race. I challenge everyone here to find an interval race which had more than 140.80 points for the winner. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right! Makes sense now. That’s very good then! The winners of those races tend to get 300-350 points in other races. So I hope Manikala can maybe get 220-250 in those two races.
