Werloc 3,127 Posted March 15, 2019 #601 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Honestly, people are disrespecting Norway far too much. The last time that France or Germany actually won a men's relay, was 2017 for both, so until they prove everybody otherwise, Norway is still the biggest favourite. I'd say Norway is the likeliest to win, then Germany, France and Sweden are very close. Russia is dangerous, but not as good on paper, so the shooting will be important as well as an off chance for Austria on a good day as well as top 10 performances for probably Switzerland, Italy and Czech Republic.

Boe is scary, but the rest of the Norway isn't at all. Personally I think they made a mistake putting Fourcade for the 4th relay, considering his form. I thought they would let QFM do it because he's the strongest right now with Desthieux. For me Norway is the big favorite, as others said earlier, they have the Boe brothers in good form and Christiansen may be lacking some speed compared to them but he's had good shooting % lately. I always see this team as unbeatable though Werloc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that Germany starts with their 2 weakest athletes, there is a good chance that Italy, Norway and maybe some other relays will already be out of reach when Herrmann takes over. Based on what i saw so far my favorites are Norway and Sweden. Just teasing them considering their past shooting woes. But then again, while I haven't noticed Gontier, both Herrmann and Eckhoff are shooting ok at WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But indeed, QFM might have been a wiser choice for the anchor leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunadan 1,103 Posted March 16, 2019 #609 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Wierer will rest, replaced by Runggaldier, so no medal chance for Italy. ahjfcshfghb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
