Biathlon IBU World Championships 2021

[Monzanator 5,127]

Should be silver for Sweden and bronza for Russia.

Norway with the worst shooting of the top 4 and still 1 minute ahead ...

IBU should apply the China strategy, otherwise they will ruin their own product.

Awful awful awful day for us, everything was wrong... Two disasterous relays in one day is a bit too much. I won't hope anything on the mass starts tomorrow now. 6 medals was a satisfactory result.

If you discount Lesser's collapse Germany lost only 8 secs. to Norway?

Harjula used only two spares in the first shoot and was penalised for the "forgotten" cartridge (which got jammed in the gun)

20 seconds ... but the other threes had only 1 miss while Norway 6. They were really slow today.

For France this was an absolute disaster, both teams want to play for gold and in the end it was no medal. 
Btw a good performance from Chloe Chevalier, it was the right thing to put her in for Braisaz. She was even 3 seconds faster than Julie Simon. But with the terrible skis it helped nothing.

 

QFM will be really disappointed, he is the only man in the French team without a medal, so have big pressure for tomorrow. Jacquelin was good on skis today, so maybe tomorrow another opportunity for a medal. On the women’s side definitely not, they look really tired today, even if Simon won the last two Mass Starts.

 

My big favorite for tomorrow is Preuß, if she looses not to much energy today. Best performance today from all athletes behind Vitozzi. And if Germany not wins a medal tomorrow, it’s going to be a little bit a disastres championships. They expected 4-5 medals and only have so far 2, and no individual medal in the women’s field.

Took my poor tired old brain about 90 seconds to work that one out.
