Biathlon 2017 - 2018 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

They were lucky that the opposite lane was clear. Thankfully everything is ok with Sleptsova's baby.

Medvedtseva is ok, she's conscious and making jokes.

Karma exists :wacko:

 

Loginov received a serious leg/knee injury during the Summer NCH and was hospitalized. Moreover he fell on his back. He's conscious but in pain shock.

  • 3 weeks later...

Finally, a bit of nice news from the Brazilian team can be shared :d 

 

Last season they were coached by Tobias Torgersen, the coach of the Swedish IBU Cup team, He went to Poland's women's team however (sadly, but deserved), and long story short: Brazil needed a new coach and place to train instead of with Torgersen with Östersund as 'base' in Europe. 

 

Well, they found it, and a nice one it is! Together with the Australian team, Brazil will set up base camp in Livigno, Italy, where they will have the fantastic opportunity to have specialist shooting trainers, skiing trainers, technique trainers, a specialist waxman (in fact, he went to five Olympics as waxman of the Italian team), a ton of available equipment and facilities and everything....basically, they're making a huge step in terms of professionalism! 

 

Luca Bormolini (the ex-biathlete, older brother of the more succesful Thomas Bormolini) will be the new coach :)

Ukrainian Yana Pustovalova apparently declared her desire to represent Slovakia, she started to study in one of our universities, the Ukrainian Biathlon federation president announced it.  https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/301924/nova-kuzminova-ukrajinska-biatlonistka-chce-reprezentovat-slovensko/

The IBU has held a doping hearing on Yekaterina Glazyrina of Russia.

The story seems to be a positive sample from 2014 Russian Championships that mysteriously disappeared,

If she is cleared it will be good news for Russia but if guilty it could mean hundreds of suspensions for Russia.

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
