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

Desthieux turned 29 yo in December. He's not that old. Actually the fact Jacquelin was the defending pursuit champion enabled France to field 5 men in the sprint. Polish ES argued if they could only field four then Desthieux would have been the odd man out.

Guigonnat most likely or Claude on his current form.

Guigonnat would not have raced. 
 

@OlympicsFanthe Problem ist, that in Germany there are also not good XC Skier in the Mans Field and in the Women‘s only one.

No, that is not the case. Germany has at least half a dozen guys who could easily be among the best skiers in biathlon. I think you are massively underestimating how weak the top guys in biathlon are compared to the top guys in cross-country. Also Germany has at least 2 very promising athletes in Janosch Brugger and Friedrich Moch. Actually Germany almost always has very talented athletes in cross-country. Denise Herrmann was the fastest skier after she switched to biathlon and she wasn’t exactly a world-beater in cross-country (sprint excluded). I have no doubt that Henning or Carl would easily be among the fastest athletes in biathlon.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Sorry, but where had Germany talented XC skiers on the men’s site in the last few years? Yes, some won Medals at U23 Championships but they haven‘t take the step into the world class. And so it is in Biathlon. After 2014 there came no more talented athlete in Biathlon. The last ones were at this time Dahlmeier, Preuß, Hinz and Doll.

I think Germany this year really undervalued Nawrath and didn't give him a World Cup chance after a pretty stellar season last year. 

Well, he should had the opportunity to qualifier over the European Championships, but he had a problem with his rifle in the sprint and finished only in 38th sprint, so Kuehn got the ticket.

:GER had some good results in this year’s Norwegianless Tour de Ski, but there is no way that can translate to biathlon.

I think it could have something to do with the fact that athletes are stuck in IBU cup until they're 24-26ish.

 

Most recent talented German biathletes got their chances to run in the World Cup team when they were a lot younger - Dahlmeier, Preuss. 

 

Norway is one of the hardest teams to get into, but even their athletes come into the World Cup a bit more younger and fresh.

      Short Track Speed Skating ISU World Championships 2026

      By Josh · Posted

      The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.

      For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

      the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

      In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.

      I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
