First time winners: Alexandr Loginov (26yo), Quentin Fillon-Mallet (26yo), Yullia Dzhyma (28yo), Marte Olsbu Roiselend (28yo), and then Vittozzi at 23, Preuss at 24 and Davidova at 22. Biathlon is a sport with a lot of psychology which tends to benefit some of the more mature athletes and sometimes raw talent does not even translate into good results. And if we're going to bring into the discussion how many athletes missed out on medals due to a missed shot, we might as well count all of the people that "nearly won" the individual race if not for a single missed shot.

Not everyone develops at the same time and not everyone starts winning at freakin' 21... Just because one junior is starting to have solid results, does not mean that others that have been on par with her at junior level, will immediately excel in the senior level, because that's a totally different game.

And we got the fourth medal in the history of Lithuanian participation in this festival Does not happen often.

Tomorrow the Lithuanian indoor championships start. Might be pretty interesting, most of the top names are attending. I'll update if we have any athletes reaching the European indoor ch. standard, at the moment we're sending 6 athletes.

Well, nobody else attempted to comment on it

It's in no way eligible, since it's earlier than 2018 January

Joke's on you, already registered

Lithuania sent 11 (figure skater injured, so we lost 1). 4 biathletes 4 cross-country skiers 2 alpine skiers 1 snowboarding The snowboarder might actually have a medal chance in this competition. Other than that, perhaps a good start from a biathlete? Gytis Mikoliūnas just got a 31st place in the youth world championships, so the field of opponents should be a bit easier in Sarajevo.

I remember when our Gabrielė Leščinskaitė was a rival for Tomingas and they went back and forth on who is better. Yet it's Tomingas scoring points and Leščinskaitė finishing in 80-90th places in the world cup

Basically his rifle started jamming up due to the cold thus he made some adjustments, but the barrel weighed less than 500g after the race.

Tarjei Boe stopping his brother would be best anime

Are they fucking serious? Turning 20K into a junior race and after adding women's 50K, to which some of the athletes have already started moving over from 20K, they decide to scrap all that work down to 30K. Great.

We'll see Kaisa Makarainen finish the short one whilst Gabrielė Leščinskaitė is still in shooting 3 at the warm up individual

The women will need to be quick as fuck if they want to make it in time to their starting positions for the short individual.

I love the individual and it's already a bummer to me that there are so little of them in a season. And now we get this

Oh great, the short individual. Just what everybody did not want to see.

Nah, I have to keep the perfect attendance in check. If I can't do it at uni, at least I can do it at TISC.

Lithuania is in. As is tradition.

Woah, noticed only now... There were only 5 athletes that shot clean today and two of them were Lithuanian The world is ending...

Really good batch of Estonians we have here One is Faster One is a Palm And the other one is a Perv

And here we invite our local @justony to talk with us today and comment on how does it feel when Slovenia gets gold and silver in the sprint race?

Okay, this is historically the most successful Youth & Junior championship for us We have Maksim Fomin 0+0 at 7th! Gytis Mikoliūnas 0+0 at 31st (this is also his first individual ibu race, after a start in the youth relay a couple of days ago) and even Jokūbas Mačkinė snuck into the pursuit race at 57th with 33rd ski speed. This brings me a lot of joy, time to get disappointed by our girls in two hours

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Fomin went out third after shooting 2 for Lithuania. That happened

Really waiting for tomorrow. Another four additional athletes starting for Lithuania that were kept away from the individual race due to their age. So we're starting 4 boys and 2 girls.
