While I try to refrain from rooting for anyone to fail, the ROC’s meltdowns in both relays in Beijing do have an air of schadenfreude to them.

stepansevs 89 Posted March 18, 2022 #224 Share Posted March 18, 2022 On 3/4/2022 at 1:51 PM, RobtheAggie said: So I wonder how much the absence of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Korea and China will have on the Nation's Cup, and allocations for next season. I think that Ukraine, Belarus and Russia will all drop. The question will be, will it be so far that they lose a spot. I can see Ukraine doing so. I do not think that Russia and Belarus will drop out of the top 10 for the women. Russia and Belarus will most likely drop out of the top 5, and possible all three out of the top 10. In Czech tv said that for Ukraine allocation for next season will be the same as was for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. I can't remember what Latypov did wrong to deserve any schadenfreude (same for Mironova, who - if that even matters - has publicly stated opposition against the war). Spoiler Plus if it wasn't for Latypov testing positive, Erik Lesser would have had much fewer Russian followers who were subsequently told some actual news instead of Russian propaganda about the war when Lesser let Ukrainian biathletes take over his Instagram account If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

RobtheAggie 340 Posted March 19, 2022 #229 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Two more retiring: Selina Gasparin and Maren Hammerschmidt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,600 Posted March 19, 2022 #230 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Biathlon sure leads in retirements this year. I still don't understand how Hammerschmidt completely tailed off after her injury? Unless the tendon inflammation was chronic and basically a career-killer like Kournikova or Golovin in tennis before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
