Because he does not like to perform in windy conditions.

Oh ok ... i thought you said it maybe because Franziska Preuß wasn't allowed to compete today and might be a bit moody.

I agree, but the wind conditions don't really matter anyway, he would have never won a medal.

Amazing shooting for Dorothea Weirer! It's a zero! :bowdown:

I think Wierer or Vitozzi will win gold today, congrats, much better than Kuzmina winning it.

Out of curiousity: what would you guys do when you're someone like Eckhoff and start the sprint with 3 misses? Fight your lungs out for a miraculous 10th place or make it sort of a training session and save energy for the other races? 

Save energy for the other competitions. By running your lungs out, you might win a medal in pursuit but destroy your other medal chances, by chilling, you improve your medal chances in the individual and the mass start.

No anyone here expect a gold or a medal for us... we just looking for a good starting bib in the pursuit.

You can never expect gold, but Wierer winning gold would be very ok with me, she deserves it and Italy deserves it.

Yeah exactly, my choice too. Especially when you're a relatively late starter and you know there's several strong athletes with 0-1 misses already.

    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)

    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues. 
    • Anyway...let's hope that this is the last time this year we see a brownfield competition!  
    • But if you go to her Instagram, you also get the impression that she is more of a celebrity than a volleyball player.
