1) At least Johaug and Sundby were banned, something we would never see in biathlon.

2) How is Tandrevold supposed to dominate? Its not like she is super fast in cross-country, more like a bit above average. Wierer, Vitozzi, Dahlmeier, Davidova and so on are all on the same level.

 

Johaug & Sundby got banned for their stupidity.

 

Tora Berger didn't dominate at 23 either. If Tandrevold becomes the best shooter of the team she can only improve her skiing. After all, these Norwegians are always pretty good on skis. Maybe only Solemdal of the current team is weaker but everyone else is top notch and Tandrevold will get there as well IMO.

When Davidova drops the junior breathing technique she will become a major force as well.

Okay, just got caught up with biathlon.

 

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??????????????? Natalija Kočergina with a PB of 27th place and clean 0+0 shooting, probably in the most underwhelming biathlon season for Lithuanian women in the past 10 years :yikes: I am utterly shocked and very pleasantly surprised at the same time, especially after the very mediocre start in the mixed relay. If Natalija can do it, I'll have a bit more faith in our men's team as well now. I am extremely proud of this result :clap::LTU

Hard to believe, but this was really the first ever world champion title for Nastya Kuzmina, the only female biathlete to win Olympic golds at 3 consecutive Olympics never won a world championship, she finally did it in her last careers season at 34. Now she has only 1 dream remaining, to fulfill before the end of the season and career a perfect 20/20 shooting she never achieved yet in her long and extremely successfull career.

 

After Petra Vlhová in Are Giant Slalom last month, 2nd :SVK Winter (Olympic event) sport World Champion.

Bravo Nastya !

Not nearly as hard to believe as Kaisa having not a single Olympic medal :( 

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!

Clair Egan does well with a 1+0 and +33.3 11th place.  Joanne Reid goes 0+0 with +50.1.  Dunklee goes 2+2 to finish 58 +2:30.

 

Two in the top 15 is a great result.

 

Indeed. Met Clair’s mom at the World Cup. I’m can guarantee she is very proud of her daughter
