Monzanator

Fastest skiing time: Kuzmina, Herrmann, Makarainen.

Hojnisz 16th (up from 40th), Zbylut 19th. Well done!

Olsbu wins by 0,2!

Zbylut 17/20. Not bad given how little experience she has in 4 shoot races at this level.

Olsbu vs Wierer ski race for the win!

Given Wierer's rapid fire shooting she can probably win it with one miss more than Oeberg.

Bye Laura... Wierer vs Oeberg now...

Hansdotter was always smiling when she finished 2nd to Shiffrin Vlhova must be on her last nerves already

JTB tried to make it interesting but Loginov couldn't deliver. Wind has picked up for the women's race. This could be a shitshow with some random winner.

Wierer is married so I'm trying elsewhere

Uncle google told you that? Would have had to check that myself. Probably the most anonymous Olympic medallist in Poland's history. Since we like gossip, does Fialkova have a boyfriend?

Poland once won Olympic medal in skeet in 1996 and nobody knew who the guy was. I'm not sure anyone has heard of him since then. I can't even remember his name now In shooting I only remember Kim Rhode and the girl who married a Chicago Bears linebacker (because I follow NFL). But I remember the Czech shooter Karolina Emmons (see, Czech Republic gets more recognition) Yeah, I forgot about tennis which is funny since I'm a tennis fan in principle haha. I thought Cibulkova has calmed down since getting married? It's not like she was all that controversial before? More like a party girl which can be said about 3/4 of the tour.

Yeah, I remember Zuzulova duh, but she always injured when it mattered the most tbh. She could have achieved a lot more. Guess Vlhova will cloud her status very soon. Of course I remember Moravcova. I followed swimming since the days of Egerszegi & van Almsick and only lost interest after the space suits made the competition a joke in 2009. Don't follow much swimming since then if at all. Had to googe Bartekova, yeah, I don't follow that sport at all so I had no idea who she is

It turns out for the first time in her career Zbylut didn't shoot from left to right (on coach Belova's advice) but right to left. And bang, 10/10. It seems like Belova's return to Poland could spark the same wave which once elevated Nowakowska and Guzik from scrubs into random contenders in the mid/late 00s.

So, is Fialkova now a #1 media sports star in Slovakia? Outside of her and Vlhova I can't think of anyone else suitable (unless there's some slalom canoe prodigy I'm not aware of ). Can't think of many Slovakian women doing well in sports these days. Last I remember was Martina Moravcova

Well, I always had Wierer, Makarainen and Koukalova on my podium so there's a free spot available now

4F provides the clothing for Slovakian team? Expanding beyond borders! 4F is a Polish brand so it's not like they had far to travel to Slovakia... https://media.otcf.pl/en/4f/news/pr/414084/the-4f-brand-to-become-the-official-sponsor-of-the-slovak-biathlon-ass

Will she even start? Fourcade won't start tomorrow according to Polish ES.

Since Koukalova has retired, I might well cheer for Fialkova now

Well, some random names getting PBs thanks to the improved track conditions late... Quite frankly Zbylut was one of them too

Random Slovenian shooting 3/10 on TV

Tracks are clearly faster now, Vita Semerenko almost upset everyone. Dahlmeier is cooked...

The snow has eased off so Dahlmeier actually got the lucky break.

I doubt her ski speed is up to par following the illness tbh.

Zbylut on TV? 10/10? That's two shocks in a row... Her PB is 39th so probably a career-day incoming...
