Asian Qualifiers starting from tomorrow! Mixed doubles will be exciting. Hope the Indian pair performs like that on Asian Games where they beat the same korean pairing.

Same with the men both are top 2 hence both qualifed

So that means 2 quotas guaranteed for India in women's singles

I think that's too much to ask. Even top 15 won't be easy. We expect our athletes with 1 PB to achieve the same in Olympics. Maheshwari should have easily medalled at triple jump had he repeated the performance but it didn't happen. At least 10cm above bronze in 4-5 tournaments is required for any chance to win bronze

U mean China? ?

Oh well I thought they didn't participate here.. Is there a entry list

Will India be the favourite for the mixed doubles later this week

If you ask about biathlete it's just about who skis the fastest. Unavailablility of nordic skiis is a issue. Almost all teams are from defence forces so expect them to not miss targets. And with shooting being encouraged as sport they'd give up on biathlon I believe .

How is that...there were only 5 quotas here right

India So after a long procedure to select the Indian entry we are finally here. A region based qualification was held and the finally we have a singer from Nagaland - The land of hornbills, the land of festivals, the falcon capital of the world for the first time ever in TISC history . A glimpse about Nagaland. The State Dish : English is the only official language Of the state. And finally here's the entry for the event : ' Just Hold On '

Bhavani Devi becomes the 1st fencer to qualify for Olympics

Biathlon getting at peak of boredom, even if ostersund is cancelled I won't mind

I think she is on line to make her Olympic Debut this year. Only Apurvi Chandela can deny her that or else the exchange quota looks certain

Y Should it be that Tandrevold is underperforming , can't it be that Dzhima has performed very well today, normally she'd be 45s-1min behind the winner even after shooting 10/10 so she has done well. @Illya Moreover it's nice to see countries other than Norway and Sweden doing well... If all Norwegians win like that it wouldnt be that fun at all. Tandrevold has performed well today at the world champs especially in mass start she exceeded her own expectations this is her normal speed and not the one at world champs in mass start. I don't want the women's race to be boring as the men's with any of the 5 Norwegians capable of winning, 2 is enough here.

Oh well Sola could have medalled with even 9/10 better ski speed then all the Germans , Swedes and Russians .

Nevermind But it's too little too late now. We will loose the spot all thanks to China who will not host the Asian Championships while Ukraine will definitely host the European Championships . That's a lot of points gone anyhow.

Yes exactly looks difficult not impossible. Also the performance of Ellis /Smith is important. They should be consistently good so that they can enter top 8 at the expense of the 2nd Indonesian pairing which lost in the 1st round here, opening an extra spot with only Danish and Russian pair having some chance for it.

Switzerland's first medal at junior world champs ,a gold. So 10 nations medalled till now!

India is in

So what would you suggest? Increasing the penalty loop to 250m ?

Oh well don't attack me like that ? I remembered it during race that he hadn't raced in the Individual perhaps that helped. I'd have loved to see them dominate the race with any of their top 2 men but maybe they are tired after yesterday ,so I expected them to race since tomorrow is anyhow off day

There are multiple organization claiming to be a the main federation. It's not recognized by Sports Ministry. We had the national winter games this year ofc no biathlon since we don't have range and may not build any anytime soon.

Add them too. Anyhow they were starting last but few positions so already it's low morale so fine.

France and Belarus not competing for a medal today, just namesake participation wish they weren't allowed to participate at all.

Oh well I don't know why I see a Bulgarian dominating biathlon in few years. Milena Todorova has got great ski speed, something which the bulgarians lack. Would have won gold by considerable margin had she shot clear, I know many can say the same but a Bulgarian female biathlethe being able to say that is definitely new ( at least in the last 5 years maybe) She should work on her shooting for next season.
