Three french girls (Braisaz, Bescond, Chevalier) in the last group  They're betting on something, and they are the only ones to do so :mumble:

I think it's very clever. With the way everyone has shot this week, it is very possible that none of the top athletes will finish without a miss, to they will be able to shoot slower and go for 0 and i think in that case one of them would be bound to get through without a miss and win a medal. Maybe they also think: The later it gets, the colder = faster it gets.

IBU should introduce indoor biathlon for German girls, maybe they'd be able to medal in that case

Better than letting it go through with a ton of wind.

We should thank god that there are indoor events, otherwise the olympics would probably last 2 months. My dream is to see olympics in central/northern europe at least one more time in my lifetime. Winter olympics in Oslo, Davos or Munich would be a dream come true.

Yes, the strategy is (well, was...) rather clear. My interrogation was more about  other nations not doing the same.

Good thing is women's biathlon will now be the only medal event going on at that time, so no overlap with (possibly) the end of speed skating and the entire first run in doubles luge :cheer:

Other nations don't have multiple medal contenders.

      Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd.

      That quota I’ve been told by an athlete aiming to qualify who I know online.

      Has the quota for Canada been offically confirmed anyway, or is that just a rumour? I can't find anything on google about it (nor the suggested quota for England's athletes someone posted earlier).   12 per gender would make sense (it's roughly what Canada sent to Birmingham). 12 overall seems dumb.

      In the past few games, Canada (and other nations) was given an overall athlete quota which they then divided it through the various sports.

      Actually now that I look at the numbers, it makes even less sense. Almost the entire reduction of 4800 athlete down to 3000 is explained by the removal of events. There's no reason to halve our swim team, considering we likely have the third strongest team
