So 4 medals for us, (0-2-2) Paulína Fialková - silver sprint, bronze pursuit, Tomáš Hasilla - Bronze sprint, mixed relay (Paulína Fialková/Ivona Fialková/Hasilla/Kazár) silver.

 

no gold this time, Otčenáš failed to become the first ever biathlete to win 3 pursuit summer world championships consecutive titles. Paulína clearly leading our team here with the fastest times but still hardly struggling with shooting,

 

at least she is really improving season by season and after the expected retirement of Kuzmina after PC 2018 she will have to take over the reins of our biathlon, hopefully she will be able to stand the pressure

 

For now before the upcomming winter there still A lot of work to do in shooting...a lot

Pidhrushna interrupted her trainings with the team in France because her asthma came back. She went to Czech hospital again and then to Ukraine. She can join our team in December/January or end her career.

 

EDIT: and Pidhrushna has just posted that everything is ok and she'll be back soon. woohoo :hug:

  • 3 weeks later...

Three former Russian biathletes have been involved in a serious car crash. Sleptsova and Vilukhina seem to have gotten away alright, Olga Medvedtseva/Pyleva/Zamorozova (double Olympic gold, 6 times world champion) is in the hospital with some sort of 'average degree of severity brain injury'. Apparently a bolt came loose from an opposing car, flying through the windshield and hitting her in the head, resulting in the car crashing.

    • 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.

    • Was in a meeting so I wasn't following, so as soon as it ended, first thing I did was check the score.    Go Team !!   Thrilled to have both teams in Cortina. And don't need to go through qualifying in mixed doubles
