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) :bowdown:

 

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. :p

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. :d

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

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 :redcard: 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 :d

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

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
