Yeah, I think athletes from bigger nations are more successful in these stressful shooting conditions, because they mostly only have to think about disappointing themselves and not the pressure of disappointing an entire nation and future funding of the sport. 

 

The amount of times that Kaukėnas and other Lithuanians have dropped the ball in shooting 4, I can no longer count.

France and Belarus not competing for a medal today, just namesake participation wish they weren't allowed to participate at all.

@Fly_like_a_don Not to change the subject here, but how is the Indian Biathlon Federation doing?  I know that they seem to have fits and starts trying to get going.  Any luck recently with anything?

Add them too. Anyhow they were starting last but few positions so already it's low morale so fine.

There are multiple organization claiming to be a the main federation. It's not recognized by Sports Ministry. 

 

We had the national winter games this year ofc no biathlon since we don't have range and may not build any anytime soon.
