Incredible results for Austria in alpine skiing and biathlon, I hope for the sake of their athletes that the Austrian fans won’t expect their athletes to repeat those fluke performances at the Olympics. Also every race without a Norwegian gold is good. I can’t deny that it is funny to see Sweden and Austria doing so well with German coaches.

I wish Poland was doing well with a German coach (Michael Greis) too

Yup, Eckhoff gets the bronze. Olsbu's ski speed at these Champs was really bad by Norwegian standards.

Bendika 9th.

Eckhoff might still catch her mates. I see Olsbu out of medals if she does.

Lisa on the podium

Watch out for the double Norwegian train!

Nope, she looks cooked now.

Wierer might catch Vittozzi at this rate.

Gold for Hauser!

Hauser & Bendika FTW? But they will need one more miss from Eckhoff IMO.

Eckhoff pushing the tempo unlike Olsbu after the first shoot. Hmm...

Davidova fell on the first lap

Alimbekava 1/5 on the first shoot, Gurl, bye.

Terrible decision to reverse Top 15 only. Laurie Taylor getting Top 5 with Bib 41 would be ultimate kick in the teeth for FIS. What a joke this is (and yeah, I remember the old days like when Tomba went from 15th to 2nd in Lillehammer OG when reversing Top 15 was still the norm).

Took my poor tired old brain about 90 seconds to work that one out.

Hooking ?

Harjula used only two spares in the first shoot and was penalised for the "forgotten" cartridge (which got jammed in the gun)

what happened to ?

2 minute penalty

If you discount Lesser's collapse Germany lost only 8 secs. to Norway?

Should be silver for Sweden and bronza for Russia.

Lithuania lapped... we're coming next

Disasterous day for us, goodbye podium

Only 20 secs off podium now

Poland moved past Korea... sigh.... Romania Top 10 after three shoots

Lesser collapsed after the exchange. What must be Nawrath thinking right now?

Lesser fell or just is damn slow on skis?

Not true. I think for example many Europeans are very proud of Marie Curie.

Get real, 95% of Europeans don't know who Marie Curie was

1) I didn’t talk nonsense

2) What do the splits matter? If you think like that you can make up a gazillion reasons for why person X should/could have won. No one knows who would have won if everyone would have had a perfect run and I very much doubt that you can judge who was the most likely to win that day. Maybe Liensberger made that mistake because she took more risks/maybe the other racers didn’t make a mistake because they took less risks? 

Because alpine skiing is a sport measured by time. Even Atomic speciallists told Maryna Gasienica-Daniel how much time she lost with her error in the GS. I can imagine Liensberger has even a bigger report.

So yeah, keep talking nonsense and pretend you know more about alpine skiing than Atomic engineers

Agreed. As a European I am really proud that he represents us!

Tsitsipas is half-Russian. It's been a while since Europe is proud of anything Russian-related

Pidhrushna is turtle? Are you kidding me? Pidhrushna was second in their leg 4 , only 2 seconds to Roiseland

She had nothing at the sprint finish though. Just like in the mixed relay.

Yeah ... and if my grandma would have wheels, she would be a bicycle ...

Check the splits before talking nonsense

Where is Poland ? Too slow Polish team ?

Top 6 is as good as it gets for Poland. We never won any relay medals even with Nowakowska & Guzik in peak form
