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.

Except for Eckhoff, Tandrevold Dzhima and Mironova.. Mironova missed 6 in sprint but if she gets it right then top 10 at least.. Not like Eckhoff could medal here. That sounds crazy 4 medals in 4 eventsShould miss 2-4.

Just completed watching the races Poland and Latvia jointly won the European Championship with 2 golds each. Expected Poland to win 1-2 golds from Starega but after she said she wasnt competing in the rest I thought that was it. But Zuk was great in the pursuit. Also unexpected was Latvia jointly leading the table. No host advantage for them so basically Latvia have won the Open European Biathlon Championships for the first time ever !

It's not as simple as that. Not all facilities are permanent or will be maintained well for 12 years. IOC gives japan opportunity or not doesn't matter japan will not have the funds to host one. As simple as that.

Calm down.. Your are going way tooo far . First let tokyo happen in 2020 then let's see who wins 2032 bid.

Dudchenko was soo close. Could be 2 medals in 2 days for Ukraine @Illya Russian victory finally. Good 2 days with no norway and sweden in top position great for biathlon should continue a Little longer..

Did notice it too. Last shot in all events are hard. Individual and Sprint especially . Relays at least there are extra 3 targets if not shot within 5. Pursuit and mass start are head on races so there will be different things in head like has someone completed their shoot or before shooting u see opponents target so the 1st and 2nd shot is more harder.

It's normalcy here so you don't want to miss the games for a stupid reason.

For the first time ever Turkey will have a quarter finalist in a Super 1000 tournament. Yiligit faces Marin today.

From all Indians out in R16 last week to 4 quarterfinalists this week. Mixed, Men's Doubles and 1 each in both the singles. Hoping for at least one of them in the finals.
