speaking of the team
Ilaria Scattolo will make her World Cup debut in Oberhof
meanwhile, Hannah Auchentaller (flu) will miss at least the Sprint and the Pursuit races...and likely the entire weekend (they would be stupid to let her ski out of shape in the useless mixed relays on Sunday)

IOC will have to accept WADA being frozen out or move or cancel the games.
USA axes funding for WADA. Major crisis now. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jan/08/world-anti-doping-agency-faces-crisis-after-us-government-withholds-funding

The case of Vittozzi's injury is very strange and I`m increasingly afraid of her form during the games. The press communication of the Italian federation was terrible all the time - the seriousness of Lisa's injury was constantly hidden and the problem was trivialized. Well, for us the biathlon season is basically over, in terms of hopes for the podium of the World Championships, World Cup etc. All that is left for us is to fight for 5th place in the Nations Cup and maintain 6 places in the World Cup for the next season.
Figure skater Aleksandr Korovin recently took his oath as a naturalised citizen of the Philippines. He will compete with Isabella Gamez in the pairs event at the upcoming Asian Winter Games.

For the first time our small country has an athlete, who without a doubt should deserve best athlete of the year award. Without being too "cocky", Armand Duplantis is the only real threat to Tadej Pogačar.
