The 6th one will be selected later. Unfortunately Belarusians didn't cancel Blashko's quarantine.

What do you think about the announced changes? I think some are pretty awful, but I liked the personal quota idea.

I like the shortened penalization for the individuals

Mass Start 60: Awful, why on earth does biathlon need such a complicated and even unfair format? (since the first shooting bouts will be at different points in the race for half the field, that's just unfair)

 

Flexible mixed formats: I don't care

 

Junior Cup: Nothing wrong with a Nation's Cup there, although like in the IBU Cup it probably doesn't mean that much

 

Electronic targets: They may make it more fair

 

Extra quota: I'm not entirely sure how this works. They take the IBU qualifying list, remove every single athlete from every country with at least one WC quota, and the top-8 left gets a WC quota regardless of their results? I wonder if that opens the door for Australia or even Brazil to have a WC starter (which in the women's case would be Jill Colebourn and lovely Bruna Moura respectively). Personal start quota for the IBU Cup total winner seems excellent.

Laura Dahlmeier is ill and has to take a longer break in Training. She most likely won't compete at the very least in the first few World Cups.

Dahlmeier is ill, snow is cold, etc :(
