In World Champs history it is the First Time that the Men Start. Next year at the olympics it will be a 4x6km Mixed Relay (W+M) again so maybe in Oberhof 23 the Men First again.

 

The same distances they run since last season. 

I think in track, the mixed 4x400 relay is run in whatever order you want.  If the distances were the same, that would be really cool to see.

Yeah, but we see less women running on predominantly men's legs since it simply looks stupid (and vice versa with men running on women's legs). It was still more frequent when the mixed relays came on but last time I saw this there was only one woman running against 7 men. I won't be surprised if WA makes each leg mandatory for one sex and all the blending will be eliminated by rule.

Weather is not very good. Heavy snowfall and plus 1 degrees.

I call that good!  Pokljuka too often is a brownfield site.

 

Nice fields of white on the shooting board also.

ANK in 9th place after first shoot. That's probably as high as we'll be all day

Italy is already out of the game for the podium

It is tradition on Pokljuka, always after Slovenian shoots. (similar tradition as in Planica with long jumps).

 

BTW: this is most played instrumental song in the world. (Na Golici by Ansambel bratov Avsenik)
