No it´s not 1st April today. No worries.

 

Anastasiya Kuzmina will compete at the European Championships in Osrblie, and according to her words, if she will feel it doable she is open to participate at the World Champs in Czechia. :p Remember our biathlon team is almost inexistant now, with Paja missing the season due pregnancy (and yet not decided if she will even return to the sport next year) and Ivona Fialková retired this summer... so any help for us would be more than appreciated

Now that's some glimmer of hope, let's go Kuzmina :cheer:

USBA had their Schutezenski Races in Soldier Hollow over the weekend.

 

Deedra Irwin won both the Sprint and Mass Start, Paul Schommer and Campbell Wright split the men's races.

 

I would anticipate a roster to be coming out soon.

Goodbye super sprint, may you not be ever missed ever again.

Finally, the retirement of Gabrielė Leščinskaitė was officially announced on our Biathlon social media.

 

This is her first actual retirement, although she retired like 6 or 7 times before in her head, but was persuaded to come back every time :d

Sad news, Anfisa Restova died.

Mother of both Kristina Reztsova and Daria Virolainen, RIP.

 

Spoiler

On a sidenote: Anfisa got some media time last year, when calling the Norwegian biathletes 'disgusting cockroaches'.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
