Biathlon 2021 - 2022 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Apparently the Italians are not the only team on the women's side with lots of challenges between their top starts.  It appears that Hannah Sola and Dzinara Alimbekava are not on good terms at all.  Sola was married this summer with Alimbekava the only member of the team not invited.  It appears that COVID had a role in this as well.  Alimbekava was seriously dating Russian biathlete Stretslov, but COVID prevented the two from seeing each other.  Alimbekava started training with the Belarus men's team and grew close to Anton Smolski, who was married to a former Junior Biathlete.  He eventually left his former wife to be with Alimbekava.   Sola is a former teammate and friend of the now former wife of Smolski.

Too bad Streslov isn't Belarusian, this would have been a fun mixed relay.

Yeah, Polish commentators said during the Ostersund races that Alimbekava & Sola don't speak to each other but I didn't catch why :p

Great news.  7 of the 10 teams have already accepted.  For North America, Canada has participated 2x (2016, 2017) and the US (2008, 2009, 2010, 2012).

I think we will see no Team from Norway, Sweden and France or at least C-Teams, so a good chance for other Nations like Canada.

I bet it is Canada that is invited.  I would be surprised to see any of the top Norwegians, Swedes or French.  I think Finland and Estonia, although not strong enough to bring eyeballs, would be interesting inclusions.

    • will have 5 representatives in Luge at the 2026 Olympics.      Jozef Ninis (Top pic) in the M Singles will compete at his 6th consecutive WOG !!! He debuted in Torino 2006 to close the circle in another Italian resort in 2026, by this he set the new Slovak Winter Olympic record of participation and tie the all time one with Erik Vlček competing at 6 games in Sprint Canoeing as well.   The remaining quartet (Pic 2) will debut at the Olympics, all still Juniors Christián Bosman & Bruno Mick in the M Doubles and still schoolgirls Viktória Praxová & Desana Špitzová in the olympic premiere of the W Doubles     Must also be said, that we were quite unlucky in this qualifiers periode, Marián Skupek missed the second M Singles quota by 1 point and ended first non-qualified athlete and the experienced doubles Vaverčák/Zmij which was in clear qualifying position ended the season after Vaverčák injured his knee in the training before the Sigulda race 2 weeks ago   Also for the first time no W Singles participation for us meaning also obviously no participation in the Mixed Relay competition for the first time as well   Team (Updated as of 12th January 2026) 40 Athletes (30 M + 10 W)

    • Yea she did not meet the minimum points. Since the event doesn't have enough qualifiers, its possible the FIS still grants her a quota
