Tandrevold 2 Penalty Loops.

These are great crowds btw well done

Rifle Safety error, always an automatic DQ. See front page here. As ever it was the International Sports Police ie who noticed. https://www.biathlonworld.com/

No-one named, dunno if that is final.

Building up.to a great Single Mixed..... New Pfund wins it with a great final leg.

Franzoni not doing well with the Leader's Chair poker face.

Steiner 20/20! Teenage Plechacova 19/20!!!! Beats her PB by 60 places!

Oh dear, once again it looks like solid shooting technique is going to beat everyone else. Huge lead for Jeanmonnot. Braisaz takes advantage of her late start & steals it!

Tandrevold & Kuzmina both in bad places. Vittozzi looking confident.

Zoe Atkin has a mother from also.

Yeah, with so many people absent this NMNM stage is going to be a big part in the overall World Cup this year, for those that are thinking about it....

Can see it both ways. Normally Curling Teams play as a Four and it is usually best to keep the same Four together. BUT won Gold with a team put together by the Federation, not as an organic four so..... Also, the family thing, but curling is a village/small town sport, so everyone is always more or less related to each other, or neighbours, or friends from school etc etc.

First big meet of the year on.Saturday night from Boston https://worldathletics.org/news/preview/lyles-hall-tinch-indoor-tour-gold-boston

Lots of snow in Nové Mēsto, not something that often happens. Many big names sitting out, so a chance to catch up with contenders for the European Championships next weekend.

Oh weightlifters, eh?

Strictly Pay-per-View only.

They have not announced any, but OTOH they haven't announced their full coverage yet so....

Oh for sure, but there are always family & friends who ask...

BBC announces its broadcast plans https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cn7je4nxxv7o

For we will have coverage on: BBC 1&2- For all your blethering, montages, previews, reviews, interviews, celebrity cooking tips and, time permitting, some live action to fill the gaps. All the most dramatic moments guaranteed to happen during the frequent switches between BBC1 & BBC2. BBC Red Button - Lots of solid chunks of live action, presented in.the old Eurosport style with hidden narrator & no studio. TNT2 - All the main British interest & international action live. Supplementary stuff decently pushed away to early morning, mid afternoon & late night when nothing else is happening. Discovery+ - For any sports fans watching, everything and more of live action.

Always an important talking point leading up to the Games. To start with, the full Official List of all global broadcasters. https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/where-to-watch-olympic-games-live

This thread has been a bit neglected, but time to revive it! Less than three weeks to the Official Start, and only 16 Days to Day -2.

Looks like I'm not exactly going to the Games....but should at least be in California when they are on so keeping a normal sleep pattern. These things are important at my age.
