What else do you expect from Fourcade? He probably wants all banned from IBU competition Yes, everyone in the west is clearly against the famous Russia-Ukraine alliance of recent years. 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!

Like none of these athletes care about the politics. They couldn't recognize Odessa from Omsk anyway. 24 minutes ago, SalamAkhi said: I wouldn't go this far concerning Fourcade but yes there is a clear bias No one formulated an inch of suspicion about Brorsson who is the woman Pidruchnhyi of this Champs It could have been worse if we had a male Kuzmina out there so a Russian competing under a different flag with those kind of results. Since Shipullin has retired I guess MF needs to find a new punchbag. Might as well be Loginov and/or Pidruchnyi. It doesn't surprise me a lot.

Then Shipulin answered because Loginov is his teammate, it's just a little hitch between two great athletes respecting each other.

You mentioned his awkward comments about Pidruchnyi though. If he says that in public I can only wonder what he really thinks about all this dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 339 Posted March 11, 2019 #338 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) No idea, but has there ever been a larger swing from domination to simply fighting to make the flower ceremony in one year's time? It is obvious that the coaching is working for the men's team, is that the issue? I have no idea, but it sure has been dramatic to see people talking about how Fourcade would catch Bjordahlen, to now, will he win consistency again.

To be fair, unlike Pidruchnyi Loginov deserved being a punchbag.
