Tandrevold also 4 misses in the stand... sigh,...

Olsbu 9/10 which could give her a medal but the gold is still possible for 10/10.

Eckoff 4 misses in the stand. A complete meltdown!

Aita Gasparin 10/10.

2 misses for Vittozzi, one for Wierer.

Olsbu & Tandrevold clear in the prone.

And P.Fialkova too!

Eckhoff with 2 misses in the prone!

Alexander Aamodt Kilde wins and takes the lead in the overall!

Will the AL still use the designated hitter though? If so, that gives AL even a bigger advantage in home inter-league games.

AL leads NL in inter-league season records 17-6

Monika Hojnisz-Starega with bib #1 for tomorrow's sprint!

Szczurek was pulled after the last shooting so we finish 17th and lapped.

Lithuania in 16th will be the last team that completed the full course.

Only a Krcmar meltdown can deny the Czechs a medal now...

Also according to IBU itself apparently

 

Access to his twitter account is faster than the IBU official page

China gets lapped...  Poland is the next team ahead... yep, we're getting lapped on the last leg IMO.

Raubichi is making a bid to host the European Championships.  

 

According to the best Polish biathlon journalist the decision has been made and the EC will take place in Raubichi.

I´d simply put a time limit on world records.

They stand for say 20 years(or some other remotely reasonable time limit)and then they get erased so the race for setting WRs can start again.

 

A 20 year time limit would erase most of the dreadful so called world records.As a Swede I am particulary annoyed that the legendary Carolina Kluft never had a chance to set the official world record.

 

Everyone knows what really went on in the 80´s and 90´s.It has continued into the 2000´s(I wont Farah name names Bolt)..but the most awful one´s is from the 80`s in particular.

 

A time limit would erase Kratochvilova and Koch and others to the scrapyard of history,where they belong.

Total bullshit idea tbh. If the doping continues then what's the point of a 20 year reset? Quite frankly the modern medicine and TUE system allows the doping to be even more difficult to uncover than in the 80s. Two of the biggest modern scandals - BALCO & Russia were only exposed due to the widespread nature of athletes involved and not due to better lab technology.

Hanna Oeberg with the fastest 2nd leg.

Poland in 18th, 22 seconds behind Lithuania... we could be lapped given our men's struggles.

Herrmann & Innerhofer on the penalty loop.

Sure enough, Tomasz Sikora wasted no time in telling the audience about the Italian girls beef. He also suggests the handover will be "interesting"

Julia Simon one penalty loop, Kinga Zbylut two loops.

We're out of Top 10 contention after the 1st shooting

Let's face it, if this car flips and hits the top of the wall like Greg Moore at Fontana 21 years ago the aeroscreen will be rendered useless

Thomas Dressen wins in Saalbach.

Old school downhill track with zero technical sections  and everyone gets bounced around on the bumps.

Mauro Caviezel made one huge error on the bottom that cost him the win.

Beat Feuz clinches the DH small globe with two races remaining.

I thought you just meant a rather naive TV commentator said that at the time, but alright. Much like the naive TV commentators here were positively (no pun intended) amazed by the Gewiss-Ballan show in 1994.

Gewiss-Ballan? That's from cycling? I have no idea what are you talking about since I don't follow cycyling that much.

Obviously. The wonderful 90's, when absolutely nobody doped  

I didn't say that. I just made a comparison between FGJ & Arron you obviously disagree with. Whatever

I was watching live on TV when Christine Arron won the 1998 European Championships in 10,73 and even then it was already said this is the real women's WR

Polish mixed relay squad for tomorrow is Zbylut-Zuk-Guzik-Szczurek. We never used this particular line-up before

Anterselva is of course the place where won it's only World Championship gold medal back in 1995 when a 21-year old student Tomasz Sikora won the individual event beating Jon Age Tyldum and Oleg Ryzhenkov. Tyldum went on to win the overall World Cup that season but was quickly overtaken by O.E. Bjoerndalen as Norway's team leader and retired at the age of 30 which I never really understood.

Ryzhenkov and Vladimir Dratchev had easily the fastest ski speed on the day and would have won gold even with one miss. They missed 2 & 3 times respectively.
