Biathlon at the Winter Olympic Games 2018

Finally, the time has come. I am so proud. Well done, Jakov. 

 

This morning when it was told to be a lot more warmer, I knew good result must come. As you biathlon fans probably know, Fak had almost lost his fingerfew years ago in a blistering cold, that is why my hopes were to come a little more warm in Korea. And Jakov almost never dissapoints in these kind of situtations.

 

Also, big congrats to others: Bauer in top 15, Poje with a massive PB (never in top 40, today 12.), Eržen amazing till final shooting, I can't wait for Men's Mass Start and Mixed Relay.

3 Swedes in both mass starts. Fantastic!

Ohh I thought Sweden was chanceless in biathlon. But now we have 1 gold and 1 silver. I'm very surprised but also very happy. Congrats Hanna for your amazing race today.

So, a streak of Croatians winning medals at Winter Olympics continues...

 

 

I wonder if there was ever an Olympic biathlon race where the bottom 3 came from the same nation.

Especially a nation that's really not half-bad....sure, they're not your average top-25 contenders normally, but they're definitely not the kind of athletes who should finish dead-last...

I glanced over the provisional mass start start list for the women, one interesting thing that I saw is how Cadurisch, Haecki and Elisa Gasparin qualified, but the most experienced Selina Gasparin didn't make it and had a poor Olympics overall.
