We are off in the Ruhr - good news is that the imported schnee is hard-packed & icy.

 

 Julia Simon absolutely tearing the shooting range down tonight.  
 

Think she shot 79/80 tonight!

Anyone have any idea what happened to this page? At first I thought maybe it was just that the IBU Cup in Martell wasn't being shown there, but now I noticed this week's World Cup also isn't available there, which I believe usually it is.

Eurovision App has been launched. Login and you can watch biathlon. Personally it isn't good as quality is auto.

Right, but surely it's still available online as well instead of only as yet another app?  

 

I don't mind about the World Cup, I've got regular TV and Eurosport and such to watch that as I've always done, but having to watch IBU Cup suddenly on a small mobile screen with some app (taking up yet more space) instead of on an excellently working website.....

Right, it's still available on desktop at least, searching for that app led me to an actual website:

https://eurovisionsport.com/

 

Seems like they renewed their website, they clearly don't understand the philosophy of not fixing something that's not broken, but alright. Too bad they kind of broke something that wasn't broken, since the player on that website doesn't even have the most basic hotkey functions (like Space for pause and the arrows to go forward or backward)

Joanne was pretty public about what happened to her earlier this summer.  She felt the changing of the qualifying procedure was targeting her.  Good for Deedra Irwin!

Problem is now that they have zapped the archive going back many years....including the IBU Cup stuff from early season that I wanted to catch up with this weekend!

Oh well, if Lowell Bailey's response as alleged by Reid is true, that is such a disappointment in Bailey....
