JonPhi 247 Posted February 16, 2021 #261 Share Posted February 16, 2021 France coach was very disappointed from the girls today ... Simon was put out on the last leg to rest her for the Single Mixed. I think they will not be Great contenders in the Relay, maybe in the Single Mixed, but most of Jacquelins work, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 340 Posted February 16, 2021 #262 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Egan and Dunklee were having good races until the last shoot. Egan with 15 for 15, then 3 misses to finish in 39th, 4:28 behind. Dunklee with 14 of 15, then 4 misses to finish 77th, almost 8 min behind.

JonPhi 247 Posted February 16, 2021 #263 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Women’s Relay could be highlight of the championships. Norway far away of the rest, and then a fight between at least 5 nations for the rest medals, because all have at least 1 or 2 weak points in their relay.

I don't know... I know they won the first one this year, but Chevalier-Bouchet is a bit more reliable on the range and pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevalier said she has no more power and need to rest until the weekend, so I think we don‘t See her. I was a bit disappointed that they don‘t give Chloe Chevalier a chance today. If she had presented well, she could be good for the relay because Braisaz is a little bit a disaster at the moment. And that Simon would have no chance today, have we seen in the previous Individual competitions this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon ruined the same amount of relays if not more than Braisaz, so really, they just need to accept the fact that they're a team of absolute wildcards.

It is very unlikely that the race will unfold like that. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Milena Todorova has got great ski speed, something which the bulgarians lack. Would have won gold by considerable margin had she shot clear, I know many can say the same but a Bulgarian female biathlethe being able to say that is definitely new ( at least in the last 5 years maybe) She should work on her shooting for next season. I remember her doing the same at junior level. I am not sure whether she will ever be able to fix her shooting. Some years ago there was a girl from Kazakhstan who was in a similar position but never fixed her shooting. Also very weird to see someone from Bulgaria skiing that fast, considering that they are completely nonexistent in cross-country.

heywoodu 13,662 Posted February 16, 2021 #270 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Watching the competition now, this time with Eurosport's English commentators to change things up a bit, but wow....they are...not very good, are they? "A miss, normally she'd hit 20/20 in this race!" No, nobody 'normally hits 20/20' in a 20-shot race. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
