Xander 53 Posted July 26, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) The Junior WCH 2015 winner (sprint) Darya Blashko can switch her team & citizenship to Ukraine. They are called Ukrainian biathletes by our main sportswear distributor. The rumours about Maria Panfilova switching back to Ukraine appeared in June and now both bought Ukrainian sportswear. Panfilova's results are tragic though. Blashko will be a nice addition to the next Olympic cycle when Semerenko sisters (and Pidhrushna?) retire. EDIT: Both of them train with our "Team B" so it's confirmed. Edited July 30, 2017 by Xander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander 53 Posted August 2, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Russian Ministry of Sports awarded Starykh & Loginov with the highest sports title in Russia of "Honoured Master of Sport" We have the same title in our system btw, but it can be stripped off only in 1 case - doping abuse Meanwhile the rumours say that Uros Velepec can come back to coaching Slovenian team after these OG end.

heywoodu 13,663 Posted August 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I like orange suits, but only for the Netherlands (or maybe Ivory Coast, but I've got a feeling they might be a little far away from participating in international biathlon) This new Slovak suit is a million times better hckošice 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Meanwhile, which other countries have red, white and blue flag? But I don't see how orange makes sense. For the non-existing Dutch team that'd make sense, just like for example that all-blue of Italy makes sense despite it not being in their flag (much better than the red of a while back). It shouldn't only be easily spottable, it should also make sense If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,663 Posted August 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The South American championships are being held in Portillo in Chile this week, at around 3000 meters altitude so that's nice. Judging by the photo, three nations made it to the podium, with Maria Dominguez of Argentina taking the gold, silver for Claudia Salcedo of Chile and bronze for Brazilian Mika Picin (who won the Brazilian championship, although as far as I know she was the only Brazilian competing, so, yeah..)
