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)

Makarainen finished less then 3 secs behind Eder in the MS (admittedly with two less misses) but she was over 2 mins faster than Erika Janka for instance.

 

Eder won the sprint by 1:47 mins with one miss fewer than Makarainen.

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.

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
    • another wave of mega rain is coming in north Africa 
    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
