Biathlon IBU Cup 2017 - 2018

[Werloc 3,164]

Weirdly, pretty successful races for Lithuania (if we're looking at our athletes capabilities)

Damn it, rifle problems for both Gabi and Bruna 

Due to a fall (Gabi) and some weird, still not understood munition problems (Bruna)...odd day. The good news is Jill Colebourn got 234 points so she's qualified for the next trimester

One IBU Cup point for Crnković.

 

With 3 misses... He still hasn't managed to hit 5 straight targets this season...

Tomorrow we have Kozica + Crnković in the single mixed relay. That's probably the strongest ever formed Croatian biathlon relay team.

 

Woops, now I see I wrote this in WC thread instead of discussion. Oh well.

I'm excited to finally see Croatia back in the biathlon game. It's still a long way to go, but having enough athletes for both mixed relays is the first step in the right direction.

I wonder if Crnković got his shooting act together... Not sure what exactly he has to do for Pyeongchang, but one big result could surely seal the deal?

100+ photos and nowhere any sight of Jill, too bad 

 

Oh well, late start tomorrow, I hope she'll have a great race

Lithuania sending 5 athletes:

The regulars Rokas Suslavičius, Deivid Demkov and Gabrielė Leščinskaitė

Then they're sending Ana Jesipionok as well, which makes me think that Dindaitė is sick, because they drive around these two girls everywhere together

And lastly, Romanov is brought in from the junior team as I suspect that Linas Banys might be sick as well, since there's no other reason to keep him out of this race unless he's secretly starting in the relay instead of Suslavičius
