There is hope for the future!

Late starters getting it done as the race is still interesting. I really am curious how what the skis were like to shoot 1-1 and have such trouble on the tracks. Nice shooting though.

They need it as the Gasparin sisters are going to retire sometime. But are doing well this year.

Lots of good shooting. 11 so far who have shot clean. Who does the wax for the Brazilian athletes?

Lots of good shooting for the Jr Women. Baserga in the lead now at the finish. Good week for Swiss women. Athletes from Turkey, Croatia, and Australia all shooting better than normal.

I do like the addition of the race. Glad to see Phanuef shoot well. Improvement from the Brazilians as well.

I wonder if she took a cortisone shot? Is that even allowed in the IBU?

Not the best day for the US at all. Only two from both team qualify for the pursuit. I would love a top 10 for the women tomorrow, if Doherty and Nordgren can move up a few spots each, they could each earn some well needed points for the season. Wierer is on amazing form. Great speed.

That is right, I forgot that. I still like the fact that they are willing to commit money to the future of the sport.

Australia has announced the first set of athletes who will be competing. Sport Name Hometown 3x3 Ice Hockey Nikki Sharp Karrinyup, WA 3x3 Ice Hockey Courtney Mahoney Upper Mt Gravatt, QLD 3x3 Ice Hockey Molly Lukowiak Spearwood, WA 3x3 Ice Hockey Ebony Brunt Canberra, ACT 3x3 Ice Hockey Sai Lake Grovedale, VIC 3x3 Ice Hockey Riley Langille Carine, WA Short Track Speed Skating Kieran Guan Beverley Park, NSW Biathlon Chelsey Johnson Drummoyne, NSW Biathlon Isabella Moon Concord, NSW Biathlon Luka Miskin Watsons Bay, NSW Biathlon David Patterson Lilyfield, NSW Biathlon Jonte Treasure Bairnsdale, VIC Biathlon Christian Mahon East Kew, VIC I love the fact that they are sending 6 biathletes.

I was cheering for you, thanks for the update!

Nice win for Birkeland on the men's side. Andersson out races Merkushyna to the finish by 1.7 seconds.

Hartweg with a solid victory. Props to Repnik who was the only clean shooting.

Nice. Hartweg misses only one to set the early pace. 40:46 will be a difficult time to beat.

Other thoughts from J Women's individual, Baserga with two misses, and only lost by 22.7 seconds. Nice job. Only 3 who shot clean including Luka Miskin of , but she did not have the ski speed as she finished 10:24 behind.

Women's Final Stat's 13 nations qualify Ukraine and Russia have 5 each while Sweden, France and Germany have 3 each. Men's Final Stat's 13 nations qualify Norway has 6 in the race, Russia 4 with Germany, France, and Ukraine with 3. Belgium and Romania had one qualify!

Spark with the early lead in the individual. Not sure if it will hold up, but only 1 miss. 19 of 20 is some very nice shooting. Slettemark with 3 misses on the first shoot, and 4 overall, but only finishes 3:32 back. That is some quick skiing.

It should be an interesting final. Good range of nations that qualified on the women's side. Men up soon. I am going to miss the men's qualifying. But I will be back for the finals.

I agree, this is a very nice addition. I was not expecting much. Some bugs to work out.

Good to see Maddie Phaneuf racing. She got sick at the last Olympics and suffered deep depression. Her fight with it has been well publicised, with her encouragement. The shooting icons on the livestream are now working for me.

Nice to see Runggaldier shoot well. Both Brazilians shooting well. How many qualify for the finals?

So 5 cameras, start, finish, shooting range, after shooting, and a race map feature. No commentary. To know what is going on, you need datacenter up to follow times, shots, etc.

Stavre Jada is from Macedonia is listed in the IBU Cup start list as only M . He carried the flag in 2018 Olympics.
