Grassmarket 2,972 Posted February 21, 2021 #463 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It’s not so much that Norway are dominant, it’s that Russia & Germany are average now. Werloc and dcro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t matter. The result is the same (Norway dominates). Norway used to be far less dominant in cross-country and back then it took less to make their cross-country team and those who weren’t good enough to make it weren’t good enough to dominate biathlon. 10 or 15 years ago Germany was probably the best nation in men’s cross-country. Russia might come back, especially if people start to care less about their doping again, but Germany won’t. Like I said before: I absolutely expect the same nations to dominate as in cross-country. Norway/Sweden/Russia have by far the best depth in cross-country, so their B talents will go into biathlon and will dominate there. I just hope that IBU will realize that it is bad for their product and that they will change some things. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a bigger problem for them since they went belly up in ski jumping too. Jacquelin hit the wrong targets or what? 0/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,809 Posted February 21, 2021 #467 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Jacquelin with a good old 0/5. Wrong target seems unlikely, since in this situation that would likely have been noticed by someone next to him..

heywoodu 13,809 Posted February 21, 2021 #468 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Ugh, the whole winter long: those freaking annoying coaches who don't get the face mask rules. It's really about time they get fined for it.
