Which is odd because Croatians are generally weak at the start of “gun involved events”, but then comeback rather strong in the back half “Sport has the power to change the world.

SalamAkhi 277 Posted December 4, 2019 #142 Share Posted December 4, 2019 One very interesting result is the 22nd place of Cheng Fangming , at a time when China doesn't seem to have good male prospects heading for their Olympics, he's back from 4 years out of the circuit and get a very decent first appearance in the WC. Good shooting (18/20) and, despite what we may think at first, promising performance on the skis : 33th course time +3.05, beating the likes of Eliseev, Dale, Guigonnat, Samuelsson (and we know you might exceed a certain speed threshold to hope for top 20 and further). Nonetheless, like his fellow countrywomen, too much time lost at the range (92nd range time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember many years ago when, as an experiment the IBU gave a Chinese guy a pair of Norwegian-prepared skis for a weekend. Immediately gained about 30 places over average.

Knee injury, she will pass a MRI today that will say more, but very likely the season is over as well. and yeah, no relay in Ostersund for us obviously, probably the whole season as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a crash during the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
