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:

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.
