Elvira Öberg looks in great shape on her skis...:yikes:

on the other hand, her shooting looks like it still needs some fixing...:whistle:

 

Elvira Oeberg is my pick for a real breakthrough this season. Won't be surprised if she wins multiple races this winter.

 

I see the Swiss have finally decided to unleash the Baserga talent among the seniors? I believe the junior hype might have been somewhat premature though?

How were the conditions in Idre? Simon was over 2 minutes faster in Sjusjeon at Deep Snow conditions. With the Swedes, it will also be a question of whether they are dominant at the start of the season, similar to last year, and break down towards the Olympics or not.

Really can't compare these things, since some tracks have more climbing, some have more downhills, different approaches to turns that can kill speed and all that stuff. What you can do mostly is look at who is beating who, basing a lot of your info on previous seasons. As an example, Giacomel looks really improved if he took second place after Samuelsson and didn't lose too much seconds either.

Fairly respectable showing for team Lithuania in Sjusjoen.

 

Pretty decent shooting, salvagable ski-speed. Strolia looked good, Tomas and Gabrielė okay, whilst the others have some work ahead of them.

The French version of today’s Sjusjoen women’s sprint is on YT.  I’m thinking tomorrow’s pursuits will be posted there also - they had the French summer biathlon races.

actually, I'm scared by Giacomel's race...he was basically on the same time as Samuelsson after the second shooting and lost 10 to 20 seconds in the last lap against almost every other competitor, he did even lose 5 secs against the top Romanian guy, not exactly known because of his ski speed...

 

the rest of the men's team so far is really well behind the expected standard, but we're used to slow start of the season, so, the alarm is not on, yet...

 

on the other hand, Wierer doesn't look in top shape (neither on the skis nor at the shooting range, at least in the prone position, where she was quite slow for her standards and still missed 1 target), meanwhile Vittozzi did look quite good in the skiing part (but she still is not safe enough in the prone shooting)...

 

the rest of the girls...well, they are where we expect they would be...coming home well after the fat lady has finished singing...:facepalm:

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
