  1. IBU live center - competition details. http://www.biathlonresults.com/ You can see everything there including range time and course time of course
  2. Christiansen on the penalty loop. Gonna be tough for Norway to keep the gold medal rush here.
  3. 2 penalty loops for Sweden. Unlike the women, they screw up the first shoot instead of the last
  4. You didn't answer my question but oh, well. How many of these medallists were actually genuine road racers to begin with? Besides, let's be honest, one bronze medal per OG in team pursuit means nothing compared to the current UK dominance. Opening Manchester in 1994 changed everything and there's no denying that.
  5. And which one of them was build before Manchester? I suspect zero? You had zero velodromes before 1994 hence you had zero track cycling medals for 40+ years until late 90s. It's really that simple.
  6. Track cycling is heavily dependant on facilities. Manchester Velodrome opened in 1994 and GB has turned into a powerhouse since. Hell, even Poland has a velodrome build in 2008 and we've won several track cycling medals in the last decade. It's a low-hanging fruit very similar to luge. The countries that do well in luge are the ones that have build a luge track. Same applies to track cycling.
  7. I didn't write a single word about Poland because I knew Gwizdon is too slow on her skis to hold on for a medal. It's Pyeongchang deja vu all over again, leading after three legs and 7th at the finish. Kamila Zuk with a nice bounce back in shooting after terrible WCh so far. Hojnisz had one of her "good" days on skis too. Zbylut above expectations. But we just can't go around the 40 year old Gwizdon. Krystyna Guzik is 37 years old and basically inactive for two seasons. Joanna Jakiela missed 11 shots in the individual. Three 100% performances + Gwizdon ain't gonna win us a medal in the relay
  8. Germany would have easily won gold if Karolin Horchler wasn't so worthless on leg one...
  9. Puskarcikova is sloooowww... Could be 4th fourth place finish for Oeberg here...
  10. Norway gold, Germany silver and Pidrushna vs Puskarcikova for the bronze.
  11. Herrmann could well lose energy in chasing down Norway and Sweden. Seems like Oeberg vs Olsbu for the gold. Carrara on the penalty loop.
  12. Aymonier on the penalty loop. Geez, how bad is the French women's shooting at these champs?
  13. That was record rapid fire even by Wierer's standards. Reality will kick in on the last two legs...
  14. EuroSport doesn't own any rights, they can only buy them. EBU still provides the TV signal in all European-based events. EuroSport only buys the sub-license from a third-party like InFront Media. This has changed from years gone by when ES was still owned by Canal +. Canal + belongs to EBU but Discovery doesn't. Actually this is why ES doesn't show figure skating from this season anymore. ISU struck a deal with CBS in 2019 and CBS, NBC & ABC are afiliated with EBU but Discovery isn't a part of any of these networks. I suppose EBU paid the Romanians more money than InFront Media for the broadcasting rights so they didn't care Rasnov won't be shown on ES
  15. Eurosport is owned by Discovery as you may know. I checked on some Polish forums and it turns out EBU (European Broadcasting Union) contacted the Romanian Federation on the behalf of TVP and bought exclusiv rights to show the Rasnov events on Polish TV. Therefore Discovery (ES) can't buy the sub-license from InFront Media because InFront doesn't have TV rights for Rasnov to begin with (EBU has them). So ARD and ORF will still show this since they are members of the EBU but EuroSport is obviously not. So yeah, it's actually TVP's fault you can't watch Rasnov on ES
  16. 'Heavy Metal' is the Bible of adult anime VHS rules, baby!
  17. Nope. Kristoffersen lost 1,3 from the last split and down in 5th! Filip Zubcic wins! Odermatt who only lost 0,8 from the last split gets 2nd and Tommy Ford 3rd from 10th after the first run! alpine skiing is back? Zubcic was on the way up in the last few weeks!
  18. People losing time like crazy on the bottom. At this rate only Kristoffersen's 1,58 advantage can stop Zubcic from winning.
  19. Still nobody within a second of Zubcic. Pinturault 1,59 back and will lose pts to AA Kilde who is only 1,15 behind right now.
  20. Zubcic with another big run from 12th. I wonder if he ends up with a Top 5?
