Wierer said that she's just recovered from being ill so it was a training race for her.

ps. Judging from the broadcast Marie Dorin played safe as well.

Impressive result for Bjontegaard.

Guzik... wtf r u doing, hon?

 

Shocked (in a bad way) that Zhuravok is better than Varvynets. At least Zhuravok improved, good to see her approaching the elite.

She still can't shoot good as earlier?  I can't believve that last year accident have such long impact on her...

Weird start list for tomorrow's mass start (women):

https://sesongstartskiskyting.no/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/2017-Mass-W-Start.pdf

 

78 biathletes so far. No Eckhof, no German team, no Belarusian team, No Valj Semerenko, Pidhrushna and Zhuravok.

There's Dzhima & Blashko. Vita is going to compete without her sister.

 

 

The men's start list looks normal:

Heat A: https://sesongstartskiskyting.no/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/2017-Mass-M-HA-Start.pdf

Heat B: https://sesongstartskiskyting.no/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/2017-Mass-M-HB-Start.pdf

9 penalty loops for Braisaz

 

I would've called Vita Semerenko incredible if not the 3 misses... other than that it was awesome come back from both sisters.

Vita never was a superfast skier so the new tempo requires a different shooting. I'm glad that she took risks. 

No excuses for Varvynets... guuurl, you better werk!

Dramatic weight loss influenced Merkushhyna so she needs to adjust as well.

I hope there will be no quarantine for Blashko but her coach doesn't want to throw her under the main team "bus" anyway.

Wondering if Abramova will be sent to IBU Cup.

LULZ of the day. Blashko forgot to wear her timing ankle bracelet so she ran back to wear it when everybody have already started and she lost 25s approx.

[heywoodu 15,141]

 

The cooperation has barely started and they're already getting along well, this is promising  

 

Also: my hotel for IBU Cup 2 in Lenzerheide has been booked, and it happens to be the same one as them, so that makes life easy. Now it's a matter of trying to find a place to stay in Livigno and Obertilliach and hoping I can indeed travel with them as planned (since a 2-3 hour car trip is definitely better than a 9-hour train/bus trip)
