Well, Dombrovski single-handedly destroyed all of our relay chances, because we were never in contact with 23rd place the entire race after his penalty loop. It's unbelievable, how he can go 0+0+0+0 in individual races, but more often than not, he always shoots horribly in relay races Lastly, our team was plagued with illnesses over the holidays, so nothing is going according to plan.

Also, how weird that there was not a single message discussing the men's relay yesterday

Herrmann on the last leg again

It appears that Sweden had lousy skis today...

With Schempp and Lesser missing out on Rupholding, this is going to be the most inexperienced German male team yet.

Weird... For me it's saying that "you're not gonna see it, cause you're at work"...

It lasts long to give everyone enough time to register, enter a song and vote, lastly the hosts have to prepare for the show. If we'd do quicker versions, I'm fairly certain our participation rates would go down severely.

Nah, I fully support the choice of having only two yearly contests, let's preserve the magic. Quality not quantity.

I would even dare to say his lackluster two years are continuing

Nice shooting from Tomas, too bad that he's recovering from an illness, so not quick on the snow.

Belgium could form a female +35yo relay, that would be a sight to see.

Or they can pick up a Horchler, if they sign a blood contract to never demote them to the IBU cup ever again

You could try to get Diana Rasimovičiūtė out of retirement. Don't know if that's an upgrade though.

Too bad @heywoodu doesn't have the time to watch the races since he's busy vaxing Brazilian skis.

If you feel that you're having a bad day, remember that you're not the Russian man that just plopped a Russian flag deep into the snow at the finish line with Yurlova gliding by.

Tiril Eckhoff with her famous smile. Is she planning to catch 3rd place?

She could have been first, but now she's just somebody that we used to know...

You can't spell standing shooting without 'fun' (don't question my methods)

Like, if I'm going to be able to see only two races out of 6 this week, I want to be able to see Herrmann running as the 4th leg.

To make the race more exciting for us viewers.

Is this a World Cup race or a blooper reel?

This is the race to forget and a race to remember for Franziska Hildebrand

Okay, thank you for the answer I just suddenly remembered that she existed today when they showed the German relay on screen

My brain just had a sudden thought, so now I must ask. What happened to Maren Hammerschmidt this season? Is she out with an injury?

Anyways, forgot to mention throughout my many troubles, Diana Rasimovičiūtė has oficially retired. One of the most successful Lithuanian winter athletes and the most successful when it comes to Biathlon. She was literally the face of our biathlon for a good decade at least and hats off to her, because she's the reason we have a team today. It's a bit disappointing knowing how much potential she had, Makarainen, Domracheva, Ekholm, Berger were behind her in ski speed at times, but I guess that's just shows how structure & funding are majorly important in a sport such as this.
