Press release about the 2021 Diamond League season https://www.diamondleague.com/news/general/everything-you-need-to-know-about-wdl-2021/ "From May to September, 13 series meetings will be staged across 12 different countries in four different continents, with athletes competing for a place in the Wanda Diamond League Final. Each meeting will take place in a two-hour TV world programme and will stage 14 Diamond disciplines (events in which athletes compete for Diamond League points). The disciplines featuring in each of the meetings will be announced later this month. At the end of the 13 meetings, the athletes with the most points in each Diamond discipline will qualify for a place in the WDL Final in Zurich, where all 32 Diamond League Champions will be crowned in a two-day season finale. Seven finals will take place as street events in Zurich’s historic city centre on Wednesday, 8th September, with the remaining disciplines held in the Letzigrund Stadium as part of a three-hour world feed programme on the following day. Both days will be broadcasted live on TV. In addition to its commitment to equal prize money for male and female athletes across the series, WDL 2021 will also introduce a new award for outstanding performers in 2021. A 500,000 USD bonus pot has been set aside for “Best Performing Athletes” -- those who deliver consistent, high-level performances throughout the season. There will be ten award winners in total -- one male and one female athlete respectively in the sprints, hurdles, distance events, jumps and throws. Following a planned reduction in the number of disciplines for 2020, the series returns to a full programme of 32 disciplines in 2021. The triple jump, the discus, the 200m, the 3000m steeplechase and the 5000m will be reinstated. To better promote the field events in an action-packed two-hour schedule and give them their own stand-alone moments of focus and drama, a qualifying round followed by a final will be introduced for the long jump, triple jump, shot put, javelin and discus. This new format, called The Final 3, will mean that the three athletes with the longest jumps and throws in the qualifying rounds will come together in a final where all previous results will be cleared as they compete for first, second and third place..."

Johannes Klaebo has announced he will not compete in any WC races until the new year (Tour de Ski, January 1st). He has stated the reason for his decision lies in the fear of contracting Corona virus and the uncertainty of spreading it to others. When ask by Norwegian medias if he will be at start in Tour de Ski, Klaebo replied that he first had to see if Tour de Ski will happen this season and then he will consider his participation. Lastly Klaebo stated his goal and focus for the rest of season will be the World Championships in Oberstdorf in February next year.

It's not in my plan to make an extensive list over each biathlete's points during the season. I did it last year, but it took a lot of my time. With exams coming up at my university and me trying to focus on some things in my personal life, I wouldn't be able to have the proper time do a complete list. I hope that is understandable.

Most of you are under the limit of 160 grade points. I tagged all of you because this was a new addition to the rule book.

Hello managers I have noticed that some teams have a grade point total over 160. I would like to inform those managers who have a team that exceeds 160 grade points in total to make changes to their team so their total grade points will be 160 or lower before the start of the first race today. In case a team has a total over 160 grade points, this will be applied: - If a manager have a team with a total over 160 grade points, one of his/her biathelete's points will be deducted/not counted in each race until the total grade points on his/her team are 160 or lower. @Vojthas, @Monzanator, @hckosice, @IoNuTzZ, @Federer91, @Werloc, @EupenM, @SalamAkhi, @heywoodu, @brunamoura, @RobtheAggie, @Henry_Leon

To do that, you have to write in empty Cell a number - point difference for each match. If your prediction is that Nation 1 is going to win, you should type point difference in appropriate Cell of T1 Column. If your prediction is that Nation 2 is going to win, then type point difference in appropriate Cell of T2 Column.

Example Group A Date & Time (GMT +1) Nation 1 T1 T2 Nation 2 December 4th 2020, h. 18:15 France 8 Montenegro Scoring System: Basic number of points is 10 If you predict right winner for a match or a draw, you will get 10 points regardless of the goal difference. If your prediction is perfect (correct winner + correct goal difference or a draw) you will earn 10+10 = 20 points. Depending on difference between your prediction and actual result, earned points will differ. Example Group A Date & Time (GMT +1) Nation 1 T1 T2 Nation 2 December 4th 2020, h. 18:15 France 8 Montenegro If France wins by 8, you will earn 20 points [10 pts for correct winner + 10 pts for point difference: (10-(8-8))] If France wins by 3, you will earn 15 points [10 pts for correct winner + 5 pts for point difference: (10-(8-3))] If France wins by 19, you will earn 10 points [10 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for point difference: 10-(8-19) - no negative points] If Montenegro wins by 1, you will earn 1 point [0 pts for correct winner + 1 pts for point difference: (10-(8+1))] If Montenegro wins by 2 or more, you will earn 0 points [0 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for point difference: (10-(8+4))] Top 3 Prediction points will be awarded as follow: Correct Predicted 1st Place will be awarded 10 points Correct Predicted 2nd Place will be awarded 7,5 points Correct Predicted 3rd Place will be awarded 5 points Corrected Predicted Nation in Top 3, but wrong place will be awarded 2 points TB Rules If two or more contestants have the same number of points at the end, Tie-Break rule will be applied to break the tie.

Anton Babikov and three members of the Russian team have been tested positve for COVID-19. The whole Russian team has now been isolated and await answer from the Finnish officials about the possibility for some Russian biathletes to compete this weekend and next week.

Update on the Norwegian coach that was tested postive. A second test, control test, has come back negative, so he and the Norwegian team will be allowed to compete.

I read today in a German media that the German team had an internal qualification race where Lesser performed very well which secured him a spot on the team. Schempp on the hand isn't on a level yet to compete in the WC, according to the German National Coach, Marc Kirchner. https://www.sportschau.de/wintersport/biathlon/lesser-sprint-auf-weltcupzug-auf-schempp-nicht-dabei100.html
