I hope that Natalija Paulauskaitė will get switched out with Gabrielė Leščinskaitė for Annecy, but since we don't have any biathlon news what so ever, that'll only be clear in the official start lists

Good for them I guess. Well, not for the athletes. But alright. The athletes aren't very important I guess

The athletes aren't important for IBU which allowed Tyumen' to host Money are more important. Blood money don't smell I guess.

This whole thing is getting so tiring anyway. Tyumen hosts a World Cup, federations should get over it and just send their athletes instead of making a 'statement' nobody gives a crap about and that's only bad for their own athletes..

Federations should boycott it if IBU is so corrupt.

Speak for yourself. I care about that. I'm not "nobody", just like Canadian federation. Just like Canadian biathletes who were always vocal about this.

First good news of the week. Gabrielė Leščinskaitė starting in the world cup instead of Natalija Paulauskaitė

Dahlmeier is not getting the preferable treatment in Germany even being Dahlmeier Starting close to the end of the race, so at least the race will be alive.
