One bit of good news is that all the IBU Cup races this season will be shown live on eurovisionsports.tv.

Terrible news, guys. Biathlon on Eurosport this season in the UK will be highlights only. Nothing live. https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/broadcasting/warner-bros-discovery-ties-up-biathlon-renewal/5176781.article

Have not watched one single minute. But not because I think Qatar is corrupt, but because I think the whole of football is corrupt now. Except regional leagues where you can bring your dogs to the stadium.

Proper full-length top-to-bottom downhill at least.

Weather Gods definitely working for Lara Gut there. She had a calm run, huge side-wind for the others.

Can Wendy Holdener actually win? Excellent job of pretending to be happy when she is beaten, rather than smashing the furniture and chanting “Die, you bitch!” Which would be the reaction of 99% of humanity.

Was a member of the 1991 Grand Slam winning team, who are legends of Scottish sport, hugely more famous than any other rugby team.

They’ll be dancing in the streets of Tirana tonight.

Plenty coldness in Vermont, looks like.

Just to sum up if you haven’t already seen it: Gold for Scotland Men & Bronze for Scotland women in the curling. Gold for the men has become almost par, but the Women way over-performed - very young team, effectively the first time at this level. Also, England & Wales Men & England women were in action in the B Division. Wales actually qualified for the play-offs, but lost their first game to Latvia.

And when we’re talking about the small nations, a good day for , 16th!

Very tense & tight in the Men’s final, but two great shots from Bruce Mouat wins it 5 4. So a two silver day for , both very tight & narrow losses.

No in the women’s top 3, changed days.

Gold for Denmark ladies! Unfortunately Alina saved up her two worst shots of the game for the extra end.

Another slow start to the cycle. 9 in the monobob, 10 in the two man. Letting everyone down.

Ladies beat 9-5 for bronze! Some big mistakes from the italians, but Scotland kept the pressure on by putting lots of stones into the House & the Italians just couldn’t get rid of them.

Yeah, got pwned by Norway men’s 1-4.

Tonight’s qualifying round for the Jumping in Ruka has been postponed till tomorrow - seemingly all the German skis are lost in transit. Have been sent to Rouen rather than Ruka.

Think there has been a glitch overnight - stage 1 is now back, wasn’t there earlier this morning.

It’s weird - I watched run 1 before going to bed but when I look for 2….there it is, gone!

Mouat finds the shot of the tournament in the 8th end - triple takeout to score four!

That’ll do - Gold & Bronze!

Rule changes, mostly affecting the points system for the overall World Cup. https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/bi18-institutional-rule-changes/IC2xOiQt6bhRKSWm1uZwt

Seems he’& Tomas are also building all the sleds! Don’t think the team were happy with what we had in Beijing.
