^ did I write "might" clearly enough?

Mass attack by Russian psychos of Koukalova's instagram: they call her a bitch, scum, c..t, wish her to shoot her leg, leave her death threats.

All the Ukrainians who defend her are threatened in the same way, they call names our nationality and threaten to destroy our country
 

ps. This reminds me the same attack on Fourcade after he voiced his opinion about doping and that drama with Shipulin & Loginov.

Or attack on Pidhrushna when their TV spreaded fake info that she was a sniper in the East Ukraine She had to hire securities back then.

And new Brazilian Matheus Vasconcellos in 39th of 63 at shooting 1 with five hits. He's been living in Austria for ten years and training there, and has started to compete for Brazil from this season on. So far it's looking very good

Nice 11th place for Linas Banys of Lithuania in the juniors cup. That's by far our best placement ever.

Russia has been relegated from a full to a provisional member of the International Biathlon Union

Olga Podchufarova put this season on pause.

 

Igor Malinovskiy (the owner of 3 gold medals on the last JWCH) probably ended his biathlon career. He wrote "this can be the last race in my career" in a  social network. It seems he chose aeronautical university.

Perhaps that's what the Czechs need to get back on track? It's been pretty miserable for everyone that's not Vitkova. It's strange how with one person gone, the results fall apart for everyone around her.

Apparently not, since he's competing in the Junior Cup at the moment
