Nobody is talking bout Kaisa Makarainen just casually taking two silver medals in the Finnish championship, only losing out to Mari Eder.

I did notice her a few times around the Vuokatti EYOF, but competing again?! Awesome :d (although I assume it stays within the Finnish borders)

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Missing of note is Johannes Dale he is on the B team with the following:

Erlend Bjoentegaard, Aleksander Fjeld Andersen, Sverre Dahlen Aspenes, Martin Uldal, Vetle Paulsen, Vebjoern Soerum/Martin Mevland.  That is a very strong reserve team.

And then be disappointed almost half of the time? :p 

 

But yeah, awesome to see the Individuals and especially to see the SuperSprints stay down in the IBU Cup :d (where I'm not a fan of them neither, IBU Cup should be a very very large part sprints and individuals, with very few relays and basically no pursuits, but alright)

IBU Cup Schedule

 

Sprint (x11)

Mixed Relay (x4)

Single Mixed Relay (x4)

Short Individual (x1)

Individual (x2)

Pursuit (x4)

Mass Start 60 (x2)

Super Sprint (x2)

 

I actually like the Mixed Relays here.  This is an understanding that many of the smaller teams would not be competitive, or even be able to field a full relay team.  I also understand the Mass Start 60 at the IBU Cup level.  It provides head to head development for more biathletes.

How did these nations think that they would get away with Flour Wax?  It is pretty obvious when one is using it.  Odd.

QFM was awarded with the French Legion of Honor.  Also Julia Simon will not race this weekend at the French Championships due to her sore knee.   

 

There are a few weeks in December where the races will not be on the traditional weekend spot, the IBU decided to not go up against the World Cup of Soccer.

 

Simon Eder hinted that he would return for another year a few weeks ago, has now confirmed that he will be back for another season.  "It's still my dream job. I am convinced that I can perform for another year, he explains to VG . I'm still motivated to get into the top 10 once in a while. This must be my goal. It's hard to give up this life as a biathlete, I was a little afraid of that. With family and a few sponsors behind me, I see no reason to stop." 

 

Interesting Promo Event this weekend at Anthlotz, the Red Bull Doro Hunt.   There will be 150 racers, and Wierer will start last.  Every person who gets passed by her is eliminated.  Their will be 5 rounds of 2k each.  To make it Red Bull worthy it will include a slalom section, a hill to climb without poles. an ungroomed section, etc.  It could be interesting.

Don't forget the big air and shooting at Red Bull cans. :clap:

    • The Democrats have only themselves to blame for the outcome. However, just to think what were two candidates for a president of the most powerful country is just laughable. The meltdown of European countries on these results is quite a popcorn moment though, love to see it, especially the German one.  Also, someone said RIP Ukraine, RIP Palestinians - like Palestinians were doing so well over the past year while Democrats were still in charge, so now is gonna be even worse? Yeah, Trump might not be as generous in helping Ukraine though.   
    • because jews decide everything in USA , no matter voters are ...have you ever heard about "tampering"...jews killed Kennedy  , Monica Iivinsky sucked Bill Clinton , Satanyahu did put an item of spy into the toilet of Boris Johnson ..etc ...etc ,   tampering votes shocked you
    • What I'm surprised at here is that the sunrise and sunset both change by 27/28 minutes over those two weeks, providing almost an hour more of sunlight from the beginning of the Games to the end. I didn't realize it changed that fast. Growing up in Canada, I always felt like one day in late October we suddenly got 4 hours less sunlight, and one day in early April we suddenly got 4 hours more.

    • He's a businessman and the world simply doesn't remember what the world looks like when USA adopts isolationism. Trump will get involved if only he can make a profit. And his #1 geopolitical enemy is China. Not Russia, North Korea or Iran but China. Modern society especially in Europe simply doesn't understand that becuse nobody is old enough to remember the Monroe Doctrine which predates fascism by a full century. I don't think even in USA they call James Monroe a fascist
    • Fans of FC Heidenheim making a lot of noise outside my front window just now.  
    • Vast majority of Americans will disagree with you. That's all that counts. I dont see many differences in so called fascism between democrats and republicans. Both were bombing any country they picked, both were ruining systems they wanted to.  I prefer reds more because they are at least honest about it. Also, i dont like what this ultraliberalism brought to our whole Earth. Whoever opposes this level of insanity will have my vote.  
    • YEC Semi-Finals are set:   Aryna Sabalenka vs Cori Gauff Barbora Krejcikova vs Zheng Qinwen   Krecikova beating Gauff in two sets means Iga Świątek was eliminated with 2-1 record. Sabalenka clinched Year-End #1 after winning the first two matches and Świątek not winning all three RR matches before already.
    • He is fascist. Even use the same narration like famous german/Austrian painter.
