Belarus picked up a new female biathlete -  Adelina Sabitova has switched from Russia to Belarus.  

From the article - 

 

"The 22-year-old athlete comes from the Russian republic of Udmurtia. She has never been on the roster of the Russian national team at international biathlon tournaments. At the most recent Russian Biathlon Championship, Sabitova competed in the individual sprint event and ended up 44th.

The change of Sabitova’s sports nationality must now be approved by the International Biathlon Union (IBU), which earlier imposed a temporary moratorium on the transfers of athletes between the national teams."

Notes from the IBU Congress:

 

1.  Acceptance of a new constitution.

 

2.  Creation of a Biathlon Integrity Unit that will "manage all integrity related matters concerning biathlon, including anti-doping, ethical breaches, betting-related issues and any other kind of result manipulation."

 

3.  The Executive Board suggest hosts of World Championships to Congress after an evaluation of candidates.

 

4.  The IBU will have to make public all future minutes from Congress and Executive Board meetings, while a minimum of two women must feature on the Executive Board, Technical and Athletes Committee.

 

5.  More information on Target 26 - 

 

 

 

6.  Russian women lost their maximum number of slots as Margarita Vasilyeva had her results nullified due to doping.  So only 5 slots for Russia.

Then he should have retired after Pyeongchang and cut the bullshit. His body language last season said a lot. He just can't accept JTB has pulled so far ahead of him. When it's gone, it's gone.

 

So this past weekend the French had their Summer Rollerski Biathlon championships in the Doubs town of Arcon.  Martin Fourcade finished behind Simon Desthieux in both the sprint and pursuit.  Not the best sign.

And another former Russian biathlete is changing the national affiliation.  Ekaterina Avvakumova, who previously changed her nationality to Korean, think Timothy Lapshin prior to the 2018 Olympics, has changed to Serbia.

No, Lapshin and Avvakumova both switched to Korean to be able to race in the 2018 Olympics.  Comma in the wrong place,
