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

Too bad that they axed it entirely. I'm happy not to see it in the World Cup, but it was an excellent event for the IBU Cup or Junior Cup. Although the mass start 60 is better there, that's definitely the main event I would not want in the World Cup but definitely in the IBU and Junior Cups.

Polish teams are training in snow tunnel in Oberhof and well, Monika Hojnisz's "don't call it a retirement competition pause" has been extended to TBA :coffee:

Julia Simon has been arrested by the French police in an ongoing investigation against her for Credit Card fraud. Last January her teammate Justine Braisaz-Buchet has pressed charges against Simon for using her Credit Cards to buy different stuff. :yikes:

The saga continues :d 

 

Although apparently she's not actually 'arrested', but brought in for questioning, with arrested coming from a mistranslation? At least that's what the comment here is saying :p

In English it’s probably “questioned under caution”.  Basically, an official notification that you are being investigated and it’s time to seriously rethink the “abducted by aliens and replaced by a body double” defence strategy.

Yeah, she hasn't been arrested at all, the police (or in this case "gendarmerie") only got her testimony in the presence of her lawyer ;)

 

But don't worry it's French justice, we'll have the results of this case in 2 years :facepalm:

Another early biathlon pioneer has died.  Victor Mamatov, a double Olympic champion (1968, 1972) in the 4×7.5 km relay and a quadruple world champion (1967, 1969, 1970, 1971) passed away this week.  He also had a long tenure as the VP of the IBU from 1993-2002.  Tough week for older biathletes in Russia.

There is a super cool 6 part documentary about the Swedish Biathlon 2022-2023 season.  There is an English translation in subtitles.  I just finished it, it was really well done and insightful.  Great way to prepare for the season.

    • With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have  pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as  Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in.
    • What a shame. That would have been amazing.
    • It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the  world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best.
    • So after finding this this morning     I started to search for more news about the date and ticket prices all over the world web !   I found this then       to just notice later that   it was April fools     so yeah, that was my day
