Jake Ellington - IBU Cup Experience Evertt Darrow - Junior Travis Cooper - US Men's B Team Cody Johnson - NORAM Siena Ellington - NORAM Barb Blanke - NORAM Sam Miller ????? Travis Cooper is on the US Men's B Team I wonder where the funding came from for the trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they're there is just as much of a mystery for me as why the Russians are there 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!

RobtheAggie 339 Posted August 16, 2019 Author #34 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Start Lists for Australian Biathlon Championships are out. Short Individual is here. Sprint is here. Still no results for the Oceania Cup. It is 98 degrees outside here, and I am really wishing for snow right about now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure she'll take the double, I'm hoping Jeremy Flanagan does the same.

RobtheAggie 339 Posted August 17, 2019 Author #36 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Jillian Colebourn wins the Oceania Cup Super Sprint. Not many details to be found. Some good pictures of the Short Individual, but no results yet. Love the names. The hat is really nice! It is also neat to see the very different trees at a Biathlon venue. Looks like it has 15 lanes. Edited August 17, 2019 by RobtheAggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it has 15 lanes. Yeah I liked the names too. Reminds me of the nicknames for the different age groups of youth athletics. The hat is about as Australian as biathlon will ever get. I was also marveling at the trees around Hotham. It’s like that at the Aussie ski resorts too. It’s a really unique environment (I’d cool if the YOG went down there) that makes the Hotham course special amongst biathlon venues. The trees actually remind me a bit of the large shrubs and bushes at Weber (Park City) biathlon venue and Almaty biathlon center. “Sport has the power to change the world.

I should have some photos from around there from when my girlfriend was running around the course sending photos of the biathletes in action while I was watching the live stream (she competed in the cross-country instead of the biathlon there). Don't specifically remember bushes and trees, but I do remember it was this beautiful open snowy plains.
