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!

Norway has announced their top 6 males for Summer Training -

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:

    • Cogne (ITA) has prevailed over Ulricehamn (SWE) and will replace the World Cup in Nove Mesto (CZE). This means that a total of 10 World Cup races are planned in Italy next season.  
    • What's worse there is that it took insanely long for anyone to even go there and try to help her....like, nothing happened, at all. She was crying out in pain in the pouring rain and nobody came to help, that was awful. And then someone finally went there....and just picked up her bike to move it away. Come on.
    • Pointsbet Invitational on this week!    Already a few upsets in the round of 16 with Team McDonald defeating Team Dunstone (not the biggest of the surprises, he took Team Carruthers the distance at the provincial playdowns), Team Asselin defeating Team Carruthers, and perhaps the biggest one Team MacNutt defeating Team Einarson (I will also add that Birchard suffered a knee injury recently and is taking some time off, so Walker is coming in as a replacement)
    • top athletes are still paid well enough to keep them in the country. that also means that they degrade and wouldn't be good enough for any other country
    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
