Biathlon IBU World Cup 2017 - 2018

So, finally some few free time to return to todays pleasant shock. 4th place of our mixed relay is not the best ever result since a team Gereková/Kuzmina/Kazár/Matiaško finished 3rd in Kontiolahti WC mixed relay 2012. But the gap +7.7 behind the wining Norway is historically the smallest margin of any Slovak relay in all history.  :clap: we never finished under 10 seconds of the winning relay.

 

Paulína Fialková once again impressive improvement of her skiing, having absolute fastest time of her leg 6 seconds faster than Tandervold and Laukkanen. She passed in the last lap 9 biathletes, in his leg she overpassed her opponents 21 times to finish 4th 3 and half second behind the leader. from 19th place after first shooting. Pitty she looks still struggling with her shooting like in the past..

Anastasiya Kuzmina had finally a complete preparation during summer and is ready to compete the whole season with the main goal in the PyeongChang sprint when she will try to retain the 2 times consecutive title. Her shooting looks much better than in the last years, she apparently worked a lot with this issue this summer. worrying is a bit her skiing time, today only 7th in her leg 41 second behind the fastest Makarainen, but must say that in her leg there were the fastest girls running with Kaisa, Wierer, Eckhoff, Domracheva so..let see in the next races, we hope she will slowly improve her shape especially around February...

What to say about mens they were just fantastic today, presenting probably their lifes performance today, trying to keep the incredible position they inherited from the girls and they did it bravely. I´m really satisfied. Well done folks !

shame we lost the podium for 1.2 second, but never mind. This was one great and absolutely magic evening for me and such memorable biathlon performance.

 

Bravo and well done, Matej, Tomáš, Nastya and Paja :cheer:

yay, great video, thanks for sharing :clap: ahaha this Slovenglish from Kazár, Epic :d

He was so happy that he couldn't focus on speaking good in English, I think :d (Still better than Russians which speak in Russian instead English in most of interviews and press conferences)

This remember me of our football prospect Stanislav Lobotka and his legendary quote "This my sen" :lol:  sen is in Slovak language and it mean dream :d

 

 

since then it started to be a commonly used quote in SVK about celebrating something like here -- This is my Sen ! :p

It looked like our women have reached the rock bottom last season, I know it is the first stage but they seem be be even worse now :dunno:

On the other hand, Tuuli Tomingas qualified for the World Cup yesterday, that might be a bit hopeful considering she was a really good junior a few years ago.

We have had quite a many "used to be a good junior" winter athletes, sadly they just can't break through once they reach pro tour. Hopefully Tuuli or some other younger biathlete makes a slow but steady progress and we have someone to cheer for rather than seeing them at the bottom of the results list.

Well, your men look pretty decently. You can't have it all :d

Well done, I am happy for our colleagues from Slovakia. And also surprised over quite good performance of our team.

 

We competed with very weak team, without Gregorin (doping abuse), Mali (retired) and Fak (illness), only with Bauer.

    • These are the main points. The result had no bearings on the quota distribution and quotas are decided by their respective NOC. Additionally, Uhlaender is not looking to sanction any athletes or coaches. In the end the United States would always have 2 quotas and they can decide how they would like to use them, thus this is outside the scope of this appeal.   Despite the expected loss here, Uhlaender did get a critical statement:     30. The Appeals Tribunal is satisfied that the action of the Canadians was intentional and directed to reducing the points available to athletes who slid at the final Lake Placid NAC.     This can be used in an appeal to her federation. I know she's trying to avoid unseating Ro's spot, but honestly that's the only option she has if she wants to compete at the Olympics.
    • Why are they even talking in the first place? Definitely something odd
    • As I recall we had a full roster of females, and the men's team bombed out cause their one star was sick at Worlds. I'd need to go back and confirm the sickness excuses validity, but we definitely had multiple women there
    • Took a look on our National TV schedule and yeah as expected once the M hockey tournament start it is going to be all hockey    Almost all games live on main TV channel and believe it or not 20 minutes of Shorttrack   https://www.stvr.sk/program?date=2026-02-12    
    • TV wise, I'd still take CBC over NBC, but NBC has at least made it respectible Streaming wise, It's perplexing CBC doesn't do a bit better (and it's fine for the general public, it's just sickos like me that want this stuff), it's nothing but regurgitating a few more OBS feeds on top of all the ones they already do.    Of course their entire budget to produce everything in two languages if probably less than NBC spends on lunches, so obviously there is a lack of resources, but it's really just a few simple easy things that could be easily solved, but aren't. 
    • I just hope this has been tested somewhere before, because I remember in Sochi 2014, where the USA introduced some super-new suits that turned out to be worse than the older ones, and they had to go back to the older ones during the Games due to the disastrous results of the all USA team
    • Of course, this is from the main Dutch broadcasting company: https://nos.nl/artikel/2599838-schaatsers-in-milaan-op-medaillejacht-in-revolutionaire-hybride-outfit
    • Could you send a link to these rumors about new time-advantage suits? Where did you get the information that Italy will also be using them, and have the Italians tested these suits anywhere? Unfortunately, this sport is practically nonexistent in the media here, and it's difficult to find any information.
    • Dutch Medal Prospects    Speed skating Recently, it was reported that the Dutch soeed skaters along with the Canadian and Italian skaters will wear a suit that has been developed to gain an advantage of up to 5-8% compared to previously used suits. I'm usually skeptical, but some skaters who wore the prototype of this suit to the Olympic Qualifiers managed to cause a big surprise with Van de Bunt qualifying twice out of nowhere, and Schulting, Snel and Diniz also wear this suit and surprisingly qualified. It's simply impossible to expect the same success as 2022, but of course The Netherlands should get a good amount of medals here.   500m (M) - A medal is very much possible, but not gold. De Boo would be the biggest medal contender, although he was out of form in the most recent world cup in Inzell.  1000m (M) - Definitely an okay distance for us, but obviously Stolz would be the clear favourite for gold. One medal should be doable, on a good day even two, but winning no medal would not be too surprising either. 1500m (M) - Not a great distance for us. Nuis and Wennemars are capable of medalling on a good day, but again gold is very unlikely. 5000m (M) - Perhaps our worst distance, but Van de Bunt has been a big surprise in the qualigiers so he's at least a wild card. Chances are very slim however. 10000m (M) - Similar to the 5000m, Van de Bunt is a wild card but with the progression of many others in this discipline I don't see a medal here. Mass Start (M) - Bergsma has had a couple of good results here, but again Van de Bunt is a wildcard and I'm unsure what the strategy will be. A medal is possible, gold is very difficult. Team Pursuit (M) - The team barely trained together. With a bit of luck they could scrape bronze, but not too likely. 500m (W) - This should be a win for Kok, with another possible medal for Leerdam. 1000m (W) - Same as the 500m, except Leerdam and Kok switched around. I don't expect Schulting to be in the mix. 1500m (W) - Kok, Groenewoud and Rijpma-De Jong all could medal here, but the competition is tough. 1 or 2 medals, maybe even gold, are on the table, but no medals wouldn't be completely surprising either. 3000m (W) - This is the only distance Beune will skate unfortunately, but together with Groenewoud I see a good chance of a (gold) medal. Wiklund is in the form of her life however, so she is easily the favourite. 5000m (W) - I don't really know what to expect from this distance, Conijn and Kerkhoff are quite inconsistent. A gold medal is not really possible I believe, maybe a bronze might be possible. Mass Start (W) - With Groenewoud, we have a huge shot at a medal, if not gold here.  Team Pursuit (W) - I think it's a battle for gold with Canada, but silver should be the minimum.   2022 Olympic Games: 6 Gold, 3 Silver, 2 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 3 Gold, 5 Silver, 4 Bronze   Shorttrack As a massive shorttrack fan (I truly believe it's the best sport to watch in the world), I feel like on paper we could medal in nearly every event, but short track isn't performed on paper but on ice and that makes it very unpredictable. Compared to the last Winter Games, we have medal chances for both Men's and Women's distances.   500m (M) - This is probably the distance with the least chance of a medal. J. Van 't Wout lacks the pure pace, although he is one of the few men who are capable of overtaking on these high speeds. Teun Beur could have an outside shot, but only if he manages to start first in the quarters / semis which is a big ask. 1000m (M) - I'd say this is the best distance of J. Van 't Wout. Challenging for a gold medal is difficult, but a medal should be doable.  1500m (M) - Again, a medal should be possible but gold is less likely than in the 1000m. J. Van 't Wout is the only likely skater to win a medal though. Relay (M) - A medal is likely, but other countries have more depth. The fourth man is significantly worse than the others, whether it's De Laat or Emons. However, Van 't Wout as a finisher means I still believe a medal is possible, if not likely. 500m (W) - This is the only realistic distance with 2 potential medals. Xandra Velzeboer is the favourite to win, and Selma Poutsma is the fastest starter in the world. Michelle Velzeboer could als make the final. All in all, I could see 2 medals here. 1000m (W) - X. Velzeboer is quite comfortable at this distance, but I don't think she's the favourite. A medal is not realistic, but it's a 50/50 I'd say. I don't believe other women would have a big shot here. 1500m (W) - Interestingly, Suzanne Schulting will take part in the 1500m. Even though she hasn't performed in any international competitions, she is the biggest shot at a medal in my opinion. Still, I don't see a realistic chance of a medal here. Relay (W) - This is a strong line-up and I expect they will medal, with gold being realistic but definitely not easy. Mixed relay - Strong medal contenders, if not favourites along with Canada.  2022 Olympic Games: 2 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze   Skeleton SIngle (W) - Last year Bos may have been the favourite, but this year the results have been lacklustre. There is definitely a chance of a medal here, maybe even gold, but it's not very likely.   2022 Olympic Games: 1 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal   Snowboarding Cross (M) - Not a chance of medalling Slopestyle (W) - Not a chance of medalling Big AIr (W) - Not a chance of medalling Parallel (W) - Small chance of medalling here, but not very likely   2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal   Bobsleigh 2-Man - Not a chance of medalling 4-Man - Not a chance of medalling   2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal   Figure Skating Pairs - Not a chance of medalling   2022 Olympic Games: No medal 2026 Olympic Games prediction: No medal   Final tally 2022 Olympic Games: 8 Gold, 5 Silver, 4 Bronze 2026 Olympic Games prediction: 5 Gold, 7 Silver, 6 Bronze

What are the rules for taking the coaches, technicians and others?   I found the whole list for polish team: https://olimpijski.pl/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/PKOl_ZIO_2026_reprezentacja_KONFERENCJA3.pdf   60 athletes 82 stuff 15 members of the 'Olimpics Mission' (including two priests for extra buffs )
