Biathlon IBU World Cup 2017 - 2018

Interesting, there were 104 starters among the women in 2nd world cup and there's only 94 tomorrow in the sprint:

Karolin Horchler was replaced by Franziska Preuss

Kadri Lethla is back for Estonia after a decent performance in IBU cup, replacing Regina Oja.

The situation with Italian women seems to be pretty bad, because with Runggaldier's illness, they're only starting 3 athletes tomorrow (OBERHOFER PLEASE COME BACK)

Seems to be some sort of situation for Austria, as the women's relay didn't start and right now only Innerhofer is signed up for tomorrow.

Another big one is that Domracheva is missing tomorrow.

Both Chevalier sisters are starting tomorrow for France.

Three best Kazach athletes missing.

Only 4 Norwegians with SOLEMDAL out. Fenne, Tandrevold replaced by Nicolaisen and Brun-Lie.

Elisa Gasparin for some reason in IBU cup and only three Swiss starting.

Slovaks starting with one less as well.

 

Aaaaand that's pretty much it. Dare I say, the easiest sprint of the season by far, with chances for some athletes to sneak in PB's.

I'm kinda sad for Hasilla. He was not even the worst performer out of Slovak men and to kick him out merely based on the relay results when the wind was very unfair, I think it seems pretty unfair in his case, especially since he now loses the chance to compete in a venue that's been working for him and arguably, the best performance for the Slovak men's team is recorded in 2013/14 Annecy.

And in Polish team also is at least one change, after good results in IBU Cup Kamila Żuk will replace Monika Hojnisz which is weak now.

well it´s not only the relay, in fact all his previous results (apart the extraordinary mixed relay) were highly disappointing. His shooting this season is really miserable. only some 57% shooting efficiency this season is clearly one of the worst in the circuit so far.

and it looks like it was also his own decision to go to the IBU cup to try to find some confidence and do some tests about his shooting, He apparently totally dismantled his rifle after the relay fiasco and made some adjustments on it, the same he used last season. So he want to retest it in the IBU races this weekend. This is what I´ve read from his quote to our biathlon server https://www.biatlon-info.sk/spravodajstvo/svetovy-pohar/740-fourcade-sa-chysta-na-jt-boea-doma-kuzminova-v-extra-forme-hasilla-rozobral-flintu

Yes, I did not note all of the changes, because I gave up half-way out of being tired :d Anyways, I'm really waiting for this sprint, if our women can't get into top 60 here, they can't do it anywhere. (well, maybe Oberhof, Oberhof is known to be an amazing venue for Diana).

Well, Dahlmeier seems to be on her way back to the top. Kinda sad for Vittozzi, she managed to hold out against Hermann, but still missed out at the end :( Lithuanian performance - abysmal.

Also, I'm wondering why the Swedes are keeping Elisabeth Hogberg in the IBU cup, as it seems that she is the Swede on form at this moment.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
