Bohemia 1,259 Posted February 12, 2021 #131 Share Posted February 12, 2021 What an exciting race that was Ponsiluoma world champion with a perfect race I would've never put a bet on Desthieux, I'm so happy he won this medal! He was very emotional during his interview on French TV. Another French on the podium and another one 6th, and Guigonnat in the top 15, it feels like last season again! Great result for Jake Brown What a good day Federer91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,189 Posted February 12, 2021 #132 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Crni 61st and +0.1 out of pursuit. Not like he would have started in it anyway (he is our own Kočergina ). Good to see him saving the season's best shooting for the big stage. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justony 444 Posted February 12, 2021 #138 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Lovely race. It was weird listening our commentator, who was talking about Norwegian disaster, yet they are all in top 10. German team is main dissapointment, for me final ranking is not such a surprise, maybe only which Swedish athlete won. And Slovenia ? Team effort is good, all four are in pursuit, but sadly no major upset, Fak is well behind the best, even with 0 on the range he would be only around 15th. Somehow it is better than on last WCH. Believe it or not, this is first time since 2007, that all four athletes qualified for pursuit, which is good for our relay, which will be aiming for at least top 8.

I prefer that to someone like Hettich who couldn’t even medal if everyone else would miss 2 more targets than her. I think the best strategy for Germany would be to completely stop funding cross-country and to redirect all the best talents to biathlon. The last world-class skier that Germany produced in women’s Biathlon is probably Dahlmeier almost a decade ago. Herrmann has shown that all you need in Biathlon to be successful is good skiing and a minimal amount of talent for shooting, then you can become world class even if you only start practicing shooting in your late 20s.

Thanks, what a surprising result. Never heard of Brown before and tought that Desthieux already retired. How old is that guy?
