I do wonder if Elvira Oeberg is set to break out as a reliable podium threat and race winner next season? Two Oeberg sisters in Top 5 WC overall next season?

Great question.  I just imagine the two Oeberg's and Samuelsson plus Ponsiluoma.  That is a great mixed relay team when things are clicking.

The startlist for todays "Biathlon Contest" a mass start, plus shooting competition in Bessans, France is an interesting mix of biathletes.  Considering that the World Champs start on the same day, there are some very well known biathletes in France, and not at the World Champs.

The top French are not there, but Jakov Fak and Klemen Bauer are.  In fact 7 Slovenians, a few Croatians and a few Italians join 7 French on the Senior Men side.  

 

The big guns will participate in the shooting competition for both the men and women.  The top French women and men, as well as 6 Norwegians such as the likes of Eckhoff, Roeisland, and Landmark Tandrevold.  On the mens side, the top French are there as well.

    • Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.
    • Do you have or have you ever had an modern ice track?
    • Still no progress in the Italian team: 2x 4th place in men's singles and women's doubles+ a fall in the team relay. Men's doubles and women's singles without any progress for years. What's worse, our women's doubles also significantly lowered their level: without a single podium in the World Cup in this season. As of today, I'm betting on 0 medals in Cortina for us, excluding some miracles on the home track.
    • There is some progress at Barp and Carollo but almost everything is still based on Pellegrino. In the men's we lost a great talent - de Fabiani and Davide Graz - they are at an age where we have a generation gap in these age groups: 1994-2000. In the women's I`m happy with Monsorno's progress in sprints but the last podium WC in the women's category was in... 2011. We wasted 15 years in the women's category and now we are only waking up with 1 year to go until the games in Cortina, when we should have a ready team like Germany (I will skip Scandinavia because of its completely different potential).
    • Italy doesn't exist in women's technical competitions without from Brignone and Goggia - both over 30 age. Unfortunately Bassino has been out of good shipe since from last season in the giant slalom and she is unrecognizable in some competitions. In the case of Goggia I also don't really believe in regular podiums in the giant slalom - she can't have falls and win in the downhill and super-G. The giant slalom is just a bonus.   The Italian women's slalom has basically been non-existent for many years. One Peterlini qualifies for the 30 and doesn't finish half of the competitions. I can't understand how it was possible to lose Colturi in a situation where other Italians have fallen so badly. Unfortunately it's not the Italian federation that should be setting the conditions here but it's Colturi and her mother - a talent on par with Shiffrin at her age. 
    • In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier
