Great podium, finally I didn't miss a good biathlon race!

The only problem is I had none of these teams in my predictions, oops

I'm sure you're the only one who lost points because of Belarus winning

Lol ...

Then why are competitions ever postponed or cancelled ... i mean same for everybody. - 50° C? Dont care, maybe some people will freeze to death, but its the same for everybody, so no problem. Of course i know that this discussion makes no sense, because its belarus that won the gold and if this would have been against belarus, you would be saying the complete opposite, so i have no illusion about you changing your opinion. Surprises me every time how people can watch a competition like that and call it fair, when results are completely different than what we have seen for the past couple of years, it only shows that most people on here never did sport at a decent level on their own and therefore have no clue what it feels like to train for so long and then getting robbed by some officials that dont care about fair sport, rather its 99% about nationality. This attitude will never change here, so why even bother to quote me if we both know that you dont care about fairness but only about the nationality of the winner?

They didn't train well. Preuß and Herrmann need to go and practice shooting.

Herrmann needs more time. Preuss needs someone to help her deal with pressure..there's no doubt she is very much capable of keeping Germany right up there in the top-3 when starting a relay.

Reaction of Belarussian athletes was really the greatest. Such genuine and unexpected joy, it was a delight to watch.

Nope, I would have no problems if Germany won either, its biathletes are awesome and I would be more than happy to see them on the top.

It's called sport you know, not engineering...

Dahlmeier retiring and german television therefore stopping to broadcast would be the best thing that could happen, sadly not likely. Would really like to know which IBU official is responsible for all those insane decisions this season, he is probably earning very good ...

Yeah, thats why Herrmann won 2 world cups and why Preuß was 4th in the individual, but what to expect from a russian fan ...

Yeah, thats also true. Hinz would have been a better decision, still conditions were completely unfair. How many athletes did get through with a clean sheet? Wierer moved from first, to 1 minute back to first again within a couple of minutes, that alone should be proof enough. This race takes place once every four years, obviously officials never did sport at a level like this, otherwise they could have never made such disgusting decisions.
