I'll take a wild guess she's another import from or

Given how all the races were shortened here in Are it's curious this was Shiffrin's longest slalom time by over 17 secs. Her previous three titles were all won by a time below 1 min. & 40 seconds mark

Hojnisz 7th & Zuk 8th which is a very good result. I'm shocked Zuk hit 10/10 in the stands. Wierer with the second fastest skiing time but 5 misses means Vittozzi takes the overall lead. Tomingas ties her PB from yesterday in 14th.

Hildebrand gets clowned by Herrmann on ski speed (expected but still...)

Hildebrand's race to lose but she needs 5/5. Vittozzi will probably take the overall lead after this race.

You've probably jinxed her now

Wierer 3 misses on the first prone

Well, Shiffrin lays down the law. There was no holding back in the 2nd run anymore. Pleased for Swenn-Larsson. Epic choke from Holdener, she might have two golds but this girl just can't match the best skiers in slalom.

Yeah, it was because of Canmore. They wanted a day off in Canada after spending like 36 hrs to travel there from Slovakia (including two plane flights).

No ice... no pace for Vlhova... Maribor all over again...

Schild is fuckin' pathetic...

Shiffrin very hard on edges? Seems not the way to go at all. But she still found 0,4 secs at the bottom.

More rain before the women's slalom. I wonder how Vlhova does in these conditions. This isn't what she prefers at all.

The thing is that's our old excuse on the women's side for decades. Any nation can produce like one junior who translates the success into the World Cup scene except for Poland. Hojnisz winning the mass start WC bronze at age 22 is the youngest we've had with such a prolific result ever. All the others had their best results when they were nearing 30 yo or even beyond that. Zuk has had more junior success than anyone before her and this Soldier Hollow sprint was the FIRST time she hit 10/10 in the seniors. Not to mention she's never hit 20/20 either. We're not bad shooters but there's always one miss too many for our girls since like the 90s. Weronika Nowakowska was a miss away from Olympic medals TWICE and then Anna Stera who was one shot away from bronze in Nagano 1998 where she was the only girl in Top 10 with 2 misses (finished 6th, the next best with two misses was 13th, everyone else hit 9/10 or 10/10).

I never saw Parve on TV due to obvious obstacles though I remember Erika Salumae who managed to win some hardware under the flag? (even though I dislike that sport).

What's the best ever result for EST biathlon? Eveli Saue's 5th place in Hochfilzen 2006?

Bieg sprinterski = Sprint Race. Bieg means a "run" in Polish but in sports terms it translates to "race"

Polish Biathlon Fed twitter keeps up the standards as usual

The random Belarussian that got TV time finished dead last Meanwhile three in the points! Must be a team record for them? Tomingas PB in 14th, Talihaerm 29th & Oja 37th both their second best results on World Cup to date! At age 32 Elizabeth Hoegberg gets her second ever Top 10 finish in 9th (was 8th in Ostersund individual in 2014).

Zuk holds off Herrmann so 6th it is!

Speed events, yes but not the technical ones.

Colombo 28th in the end. Lost a lot of time on the last lap. Would have been around 15th with 10/10. Herrmann will still pass her.

Random Belarussian 5/10 on TV

He doesn't need SG to win the overall anymore. He will stay around if only to beat Stenmark's record. He's what, 18 wins behind? Though Shiffrin will probably eclipse them both.

Colombo probably blows away a Top 10 finish with that last miss...
