Oh see, Fourcade won... again He seems just unstoppable

He's pretty stoppable this year, Johannes is still on fire on the skis

Johannes was way faster than Martin,after 4th shooting he was 16 seconds behind,but finished only 6 seconds behind. Too bad his shooting wasnt great.

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

 

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

You seem to forget that when you're in front, you don't have to give it all. Especially with Kuzmina comfortably leading after the 4th shooting. Running times in pursuit races do not always tell the truth.

I know. Still Hinz deserved more than an 18th place with today's performance. If they're gonna change anything about the Olympics, kick out the pursuit or sprint as a separate medal event (and have only the sprint, or the sprint purely as a qualifying event).

Given the popularity of Biathlon, there will only be more events. The Super Sprint is coming.

Hopefully they won't touch the Individual, meaning throwing that out.

[Werloc 3,164]

Yup, that happened. With our team picking Gabrielė Leščinskaitė for Annecy, she lost her qualification there and Lithuania won't have a women's relay for two stages, unless she successfully pulls off an under 125 in tomorrow's sprint, so she'll be brought in for Rupholding.

They wouldn't dare If they'd ever dare to dare, they'd better look out, because that's my favourite race and I don't know what I'd do if they touched it

Be sad and watch biathlon without the individual?

No, I would sadly have to pick up a rifle myself and then train for years, because unlike biathlon, my targets would be moving
