But I meant about yet previous coach Adam Kołodziejczyk, he destroyed good atmosphere in the team (good atmosphere, friendly etc. was thanks to Bilova), was fired and then totally disappear from sport :d Torgersen had difficult task and it isn't strange that athletes didn't reach good results, especially when half of them was injured or sick by half of training period in summer, but federation belived in him, he didn't reach expectations as I said earlier and was fired too.

Oh, I thought you were putting the blame on Tobias :d 

 

My apologies :p

big, big news for Italian Biathlon...

our National Federation hired a new shooting coach for our guys...and he's nothing less than Niccolò Campriani! :yikes::yikes::yikes:

I don't think I have to explain who he is, especially on this forum...:evil:

he's going to be the man in charge of all shooting activities (specific training, but also for psychological/motivational support) for all of our teams (senior M + F and juniors, too)...

if they don't improve their shooting skills with him, I don't really know what else can our federation do...:whistle:

Don't think Norway has any world class shooters (maybe I am wrong). 

I was talking about Biathlon in general

Josef Obererlacher is no longer head coach of the Belgian men :(

 

He has taken over as head coach in China, with Tobias Torgersen as his assistant coach.

Daniel Kuzmin became the coach of the Men´s SVK national team, he´ll be also the personal head coach of his wife Anastasiya Kuzmina and for Terézia Poliaková as well. he´ll be assisted by the Czech shooting specialist Tomáš Kos former longtime shooting trainer of Slovenian team.

The Fialková sisters Paulína and Ivona will be coached by Anna Murínová and our former cross-country athlete Martin Bajčíčák.

 

Yes, we will have 2 groups in our Women´s team, the so-called National team coached by Murínová/Bajčičák and the "Kuzmina Team" coached by Daniel Kuzmin and Kos. Both head coaches will however "jointly" led the womens team during the competitions.

 

Also the former Ukrainian Yulia Pustovalova will officially be part of SVK team in the IBU Cups in the upcoming season. The Ukrainian federation and IBU approved her request of change of citizenship. The IBU Cup womens team will be formed also by the young Machyniaková sisters Veronika and Júlia.

    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
