Hm, Demkov is showing some nice improvement in Slovakia compared to anything that he's shown in the past 2 years

A valliant effort for Crnković (gonna be IBUC points), but I doubt this is enough for Pyeongchang.

Very pleasant results from our boys in front of the home crowd I must say, Otčenáš 5th yesterday and 14th today, Kazár 13th and 26th are good for us as well. In other side Poliaková still misery, at least yesterday she finished on points

He needs a result which brings him 55-60 ibu qualifying points or two around 70-75. Today he got 98. Of course assuming others dont improve further.

Well i think that is going to be very difficult. On the top Dadic si not really helping him in CC

This back and forth for the French team is becoming ridiculous now They'll have to bring back Beatrix, cause he placed first, but who will they replace now

Also, a good win for Nadine Horchler, just too late in the season

 

Edit: Also a good race for Norwegian Jenny Enodd that has no record of participating in an official IBU race, coming in with a 9th place in her IBU cup debut.

Interesting development for the French team Since yesterday we saw the four men that are most likely to go to the Olympics, since the relay did well, now they have Antholz and Simon Fourcade has come off of two IBU cup wins, Beatrix won once and Jacquelin just lost a win by +3.7. I'm honestly very interested in what France is going to do for Antholz.

Only 1:48 behind for Crković with 4 (!) misses. I wonder if he'll ever live up to his potential...

It seems that Antholz will count for Olympic qualification, but I am not sure about it

 

crnkovic made today his best point (79), if antholz does not count not enough.

Yes, I believe that Antholz does count for the Olympic qualification and it's the final stop where many of the teams will decide their Olympic candidates.
