Dahlmeier's ski form is below average so she knows she has to work it on the range. Eckhoff still clowned her at the finish. Why give up the inside and then to sneak back?

Eckhoff could still take silver... I bet Brorsson won't be doing any interviews today...

Herrmann clowns them... Germany 1-2. Brorsson with the meltdown... Eckhoff with bronze!

Brorsson 5 shots away from the biggest success of her career! Can she handle it though? Never better than 5th on the World Cup.

Vittozzi 3 misses... Preuss 4 misses... This is Dahlmeirer's race to lose... Herrmann will crumble in the stands... Hopefully Brorsson handles the pressure... Ekhoff the big unknown on the range as usual...

Monika Hojnisz also DNS today. They say she's got a high temperature but it's basically a cover for the poor sprint result IMO.

Will Lindstroem retire after this season?

Not bad for a guy who doesn't know anyone other than Fourcade?

I like Chop-liver

Sadly I picked the wrong Frenchman on the podium! I thought QFM has a better chance in 4-shoot races.

Well, I picked MF to win 0 individual medals here IIRC

No medal for Fourcade... ski speed is nowhere... he might even lose to Desthieux...

Fourcade could deny QFM a medal

Loginov holds on for silver...

Pidruchnyi can pass QFM for a medal? Nope... he missed out by 0,3 secs. This slower guy on the finish straight made him ski a couple of meters extra?

Desthieux 10/10 which is good for my prediction results

Fillon-Mallet 10/10 and this could be a medal for him.

Doherty 10/10. @RobtheAggie will be happy about it

Nawrath 9/10 and avoids a huge upset with that one miss most likely...

He probably won't make it onto the podium anyway

I wonder if the snow fall will make things worse for the latter numbers? JTB #28 so could just avoid the worst.

Polish ES commentators Tomasz Jaronski (age 64) & Krzysztof Wyrzykowski (age 74) have grown over the years to become my favorites. They do cycling in the spring/summer & biathlon in the winter. It's down to the fact biathlon is my 2nd favorite winter sport after alping skiing but they're always in the mood for one-liners or some ancient stories nobody has heard of or cares about (like the one during mixed relay about ordering coffee in Italian while on trip to Sud Tirol). Plus they always have something to say about the physical shape of women biathletes. The new trend over the past 2/3 years is Dorothea Wierer's eye make-up. And they agreed Ann-Kathrin Flatland was the best looking girl on IBU tour ever They're also pretty high on Wierer (duh), Soukalova (retired) & Eva Puskarcikova Miriam Goessner was also in the mill especially after her Playboy shoot Also whenever someone misses 3 shots or more she goes by "poor girl" no matter the name or country.

Rank Flag #1 #2 #3 #4 #5

Looks like the experts will have to learn a new name?

There's a pretty long way from the standing places to the penalty loop in Ostersund so I guess the IBU judges had enough time to react?
