Biathlon IBU Open European Championships 2021

Worth noting that California is bigger than all European States except for Russia, Ukraine, France, Spain and Sweden  Covers an area which would roughly contain Italy + Austria + Switzerland

Anyone know what the coverage will be like for the Europeans?  Obviously we get ES comms at the weekend: will we get anything tomorrow & Friday? 

 

Nope. TV signal will only be produced on Saturday & Sunday.

Eurovision says that they’ll be live in 13 hours...

 

That stream will be unavailable in France, Poland, and US though.

I knew the had their snow and size. But since all the urban hubs there are not associated with snow, it's difficult to imagine a biathlete from California making a national team.

 

California having only one biathlon club + Hammerness training in Norway gives some perspective though.

They possibly refer to the beginning of the competition they broadcast, not necessarily the event in itself 

I don't remember how it was last year.

You don't really need a strong relationship with snow sport to get one guy in the national team, especially for the USA. Like, one motivated athlete can be enough if he's gifted.

While we don’t have a lot of clubs, the Lake Tahoe area is still fairly accessible for many people. The 80 (or as non-Californian heathens would refer to it as, Interstate Highway 80) goes through Truckee, which is just north of Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley. The 80 runs from Sacramento, CA to Reno, NV and then on.

Fairly sure last year Eurovision had everything (except for in the few countries mentioned, unfortunately for you) and Eurosport had the weekend events. And for the youth/junior worlds I believe the first events were nowhere and only the final events were shown.

Don't you worry, I'll be alright ... Though once again geo-blocking applies even so the event is nowhere to be seen on the channel preventing us from watching the Eurovision stream

Looks like that’s been cancelled - it’s now pointed to Saturday as Day 1 for broadcasting.  
 

So just the Saturday pursuits & relays on Sunday.
