Osrblie Brezno is the nearest city, Osrblie is the village where the Areal is located, some 15 km from Brezno

Looks like another Kaisheva win. She was supposed to be in the World Cup this week, but apparently she has been left out once again (she's not from the 'right' region, so that makes things difficult for her even though she very clearly deserves a place in the team). 

[heywoodu 16,004]

Wow, despite one miss, Jill finishes only 3:40 behind Kaisheva, which according to my calculations should give her around 185 IBU points

Best ever result by far

And it's a win for Simon  

He did what he had to do ... first 10/10 since Canmore 15/16 ! All it took was a bit of pressure before the Olympics

Welp, Simon didn't stay in IBU cup for long. Gjesbakk with another very solid performance from Norway and should be back in the team unless they're guarding Bjoerndalen.

Unfortunately for Gjesbaak who have already performed well in LGB I think OEB will have one last chance

What a shame for those two misses from Leščinskaitė I think the qualification points slipped past her yet again.
