I think Biathlon is going to become a very interesting and attractive sport to Sweden starting from now on. Seeing the amount of junior talent that you're producing, this might surpass the Zidek, Ekholm, Ferry, Bergman era.

I think so too. I thought Sweden was chanceless at biathlon in Winter Olympics 2018. But they did so much better than anyone could dream about. After the old era my interest for biathlon was low. But now I am more interested. It's nice to see there are some junior talents too.

Yeah, some of them have already crossed over to World Cup racing and it seems that it's looking good for those who haven't yet crossed over too. I'd go as far as saying that your talent pool (at least on the women's side) is looking better than that of Germany at the moment :rolleyes:

Elvira Öberg might well be on her way to her third gold medal. It's between her and Finland's Heidi Nikkinen, who she beat for gold in the relay by 0.0 seconds.

Zuk :bowdown::lol:

 

Davidova was the only one with a somewhat similar skiing time.

Well, both Zuk & Davidova came straight from the Olympics so it's no wonder they were a class above the rest skiing-wise.

 

Zuk will become a regular on the World Cup next season and well, she's viewed as the biggest talent in Polish biathlon EVER ;)  She became the first Polish WJC since 1973.

Yep, it's no surprise ;)

 

But still winning by several minutes is not something that happens every day ;)

    • First, they lost the medal in the short dance, where their performance were also the worst in the season,   Second, since they had a good free dance, with which they won silver and bronze at the World Championships in previous years (with the result from 2023 it would be another silver today), why experiment and invent something new? You don't change what works well - better is the enemy of good,   The facts are that the Italian pair achieved a worse result at the World Championships than at the European Championships and generally had a weak season, and assuming the return of strong Russians, to win a medal they will need to score around 216-217 points, or maybe more.
    • LIIGA Playoffs   1st Round Results (Best-of-5 Series)   SaiPa Lappeenranta (5) b. TPS Turku (12)  3-2 (1-2; 2-6; 3-0; 2-1; 3-2 OT)   Sport Vaasa (11) b.

    • That dance crap, which is a sport of robbery, this year confirmed that it is a mafia. The Italians have dared so much by presenting a programme very different from the classical standards (and I don't like it) and the judges are harshly and rightly beating them up. Fabbri and Guignard have already announced that they will return to classic programmes next year (and magically they will be back on the podium). A discipline decided at the table.     Do you want bet something?

    • Extraliga Playoffs   Quarterfinals Results (Best-of-7 Series)   HC Sparta Prague (1) b. HC Oceláři Třinec (10)  4-1 (4-3 OT; 2-1; 2-3; 4-3 OT; 3-2)   Mountfield HK (2) b. BK Mladá Boleslav (9)  4-3 (1-2; 0-2; 4-3; 3-2 OT; 4-2; 5-6 OT; 3-0)   HC Dynamo Pardubice (3) b. Banes Motor Č. Budějovice (6)  4-0 (3-0; 4-2; 6-2; 2-1 OT)   HC Kometa Brno (4) b. HC Energie Karlovy Vary (5)  4-2 (3-4 OT; 3-2; 2-0; 0-1; 5-3; 1-0)
    • The Italian pair have a disastrous performance: the score is much worse than at the European Championships and also than at the previous 2 World Championships. In general, they have been doing worse at every World Championship since 2023. Assuming that in 1 year one Russian pair returns at a high level, the chances of an Olympic medal are almost zero.
