Wumo 2,795 Posted February 28, 2019 #1071 Share Posted February 28, 2019 IBU and Johannes Thingnes Boe have mutually agreed that the Norwegian will not be awarded the 43 points allocated for his 4th place finish at the World Cup Pursuit at Soldier Hollow (USA), 16 February 2019. The World Cup leader further agreed to distribute the prize money of € 7.000 earned at this competition to the athletes ranked behind him in accordance with the official price money table. The mutual decision was taken in the spirit of fair play after Boe informed the IBU that he had fired only four of his five bullets at the last standing shooting, which the IBU later confirmed using television footage, and that he arrived at the finish with a remaining bullet in his magazine. The bullet was found in the magazine after the race, but due to miscommunication inside the referee group, this instance was not reported to the competition jury in time before the official result was made public. The IBU acknowledges that this miscommunication led to the inactivity of the competition jury, when it should actually have deliberated the case. In addition, the IBU will review the sport technical control procedure to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werloc 3,127 Posted February 28, 2019 #1072 Share Posted February 28, 2019 On 21/02/2019 at 14:17, RobtheAggie said: Also, Germnay's Simon Schempp has stopped his season due to health reasons. He will train for he 2019-2020 season. The German men's team looks to be shaping up like this: Benedikt Doll, Erik Lesser, Johannes Kühn and Roman Rees. Philipp Nawrath is also trying to make the squad. I think you missed a certain Arnd Peiffer, when finalising the German squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 3,593 Posted March 16, 2019 #1075 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Polish men have moved up to critical 17th place in the Nations Cup which would give them 4 starters in next year's World Cup. We have a minimal 6 pts lead over Slovakia with the Oslo sprint race the last one that can change the quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 337 Posted March 19, 2019 #1076 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Last week of the season, Sprint, Pursuit and Mass Start. The Women's overall is up for grabs, the most interesting race of the weekend. I also wonder how many of the top names will take the week off. I would expect all of the Norwegians to compete.

Kirkpatrick 144 Posted March 21, 2019 #1078 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Terrible shooting start for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkpatrick 144 Posted March 21, 2019 #1079 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Yurlova first clearing all 10, Kuzmina extra fast until the first shoot, but Wierer still first with awesomely fast shooting. And Vitkova seems to have regained some ski speed. Has a miss though. Edited March 21, 2019 by Kirkpatrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,593 Posted March 21, 2019 #1080 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Eckhoff 9/10 but much faster than Yurlova. Paulina Fialkova 10/10! @hckosice will be happy about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
