Biathlon IBU World Cup 2017 - 2018

Well, first pursuit for Tomas Kaukėnas this season, so I guess we have that. Vytautas Strolia didn't cope with the shooting and now he'll be 61st with 0.1s away from tomorrow's pursuit.

Pretty nice to see Svendsen doing well, would be fun if he could take down Fourcade tomorrow.

Both Boes and Hofer in very good positions for the pursuit, but a pretty bad performance for the Germans again.

Both Gow brothers in points as well.

And lastly, Beatrix just punched a ticket to the IBU cup probably.

Also good return of the Czechs, it seems they have digested the lack of Koukalova

Concerning Beatrix he knew he had the sword of Damocles hanging over his head ... it's all in the hands of Simon now :)

Well, it's not like Guigonnat or Jacquelin built strong cases for themselves in this race either. The selection process is still pretty much wide open.

As for the Czechs, it seems that this slow start to the season was all a rouse and it looks like they're ready to cause some trouble now.

Yes but Guigonnat is again well ahead Beatrix and Jacquelin has made the cut ... he should have been downgraded before, it's a new below average performance from him and I don't think he deserves to be protected again

Hinz with arguably the best performance of the day, moving from 55th to 18th (and losing not more than one second on Kuzmina) :bowdown:

 

Too bad the pursuit format doesn't award the best performances of the day.

    • https://olympic.ca/press/207-athletes-to-represent-team-canada-at-the-milano-cortina-2026-olympic-winter-games/   Official Canadian press release. 207 athletes as @Topicmaster1010mmentioned earlier.    
    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
    • They can also just count DNSs to handle this specific situation.
    • I suspect IBSF will make the point system equal in the future regardless on the number of competitors.   My fear is that they will make the awarded points lower, like only 90 points to the winner to balance it out.
    • Olivia Asselin (freestyle skiing)   She was at the X Games competing this week. Another medal hope out the drain, she was in the form of her life 
    • You'd have to ask her simpatic boyfriend from the USA about that, who is often seen at competitions with her participation
