Interesting development for the French team Since yesterday we saw the four men that are most likely to go to the Olympics, since the relay did well, now they have Antholz and Simon Fourcade has come off of two IBU cup wins, Beatrix won once and Jacquelin just lost a win by +3.7. I'm honestly very interested in what France is going to do for Antholz.

Anyways, just looking at the protocols now and can we just have a moment to praise team Slovenia for finishing 10th in the relay with 0+2, only two extra rounds used today, that's some impeccable shooting.

It will be a huge mental test for Chloe Chevalier in stage 3, big shoes to fill, when Braisaz is sick. I'm also pretty excited to see Oeberg in the anchor leg for Sweden. Kaisheva with a good chance to perhaps qualify herself for the Olympics if she performs well in the relay tomorrow. Lastly, I'm very happy that Leščinskaitė is starting third tomorrow for Lithuania and not Paulauskaitė.

Biathlon: 1. Will Anastasiya Kuzmina win the third Olympic Olympic sprint title in a row? 2. Will Kaisa Makarainen win a gold medal in the Olympics? 3. Will Makarainen and Laukkanen pass the mixed relay to the men in 1st place? 4. Will the Austrian men relay repeat the success of 2010 and 2014 Olympics of being on the podium again? 5. WIll Norway win the men's relay? 6. Will Germany win the women's relay? 7. Will a biathlete from North America (Canada/USA) win an individual medal (sprint/pursuit/individual) in Olympics? 8. Is the winner of women's individual going to shoot 0+0+0+0? 9. Will Domracheva win a gold medal in the Olympics? 10. Is Johannes Boe going to win more medals than Martin Fourcade at the Olympics? 11. Will anyone from the Russian women team be able to win a medal in the Olympics? 12. Is Laura Dahlmeier going to be the only female German to win a medal (relays non included) at the Olympics? 13. Will Tarjei Boe beat Johannes Boe in the men's sprint. 14. Martin Fourcade won the Olympic title in the pursuit, he also won 2/3 pursuits in the last three World Championships. Is Martin going to win the Olympic gold in the pursuit?

They will be fighting for their lives. The funding for biathlon was cut in half for the following year, they must make top 16 if they want a realistic chance of having training camps next year.

We reached the finish line, that's always a victory in our book Anyway, this relay was awful. Last two relays, there were emotions, people falling on the snow, crying etc. Today, people casually walking (not even running) to their finishing teammate, obviously you can see how little this actually meant to most of them.

Hm, Vytautas Strolia from 21st to 14th at the moment with 0+0 shooting, nice surprise

This race is going to be very interesting. The grand rehearsal of the Olympic relay for most teams.

Okay, so this is at the moment my biggest weakness in life at the moment. I don't know if I sold my soul for this song because of the music, or because of the awesome choreography in the video? And as for something that would be more expected from me, I highly recommend this wonderful song by The Paper Kites And lastly, a song by one of my most favourite lyricists - Lucy Spraggan

I'll reserve October 16th, if I may

I'm very happy that she did though. This will most definitely give her the confidence to challenge for more good results, possibly even another podium Good luck, team Canada, you're really bringing your A game this year.

Hm, I'd argue with the out of nowhere part, it was obvious to see that she had a pretty good ski speed, so it was only the matter of getting the shooting together and my what great shooting she showed today.

Also, a good win for Nadine Horchler, just too late in the season Edit: Also a good race for Norwegian Jenny Enodd that has no record of participating in an official IBU race, coming in with a 9th place in her IBU cup debut.

This back and forth for the French team is becoming ridiculous now They'll have to bring back Beatrix, cause he placed first, but who will they replace now

Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better TOP 3 today and I can't wait for the press conference Also, the way that Canadian girls ran out to congratulate Rosanna was soooo cute

She'd take the podium as a win, I don't doubt it.

OMG ROSANNA, GO GO GO

I wouldn't be mad if Rosanna won this

Rosanna Crawford is 2nd after the second shoot!

Wierer and Makarainen are making me proud

Also, it's fun how our men got 74 and 77 bib yesterday and our women today are 75 and 76

I'd say keep an eye out for Franziska Hildebrand, she does really good at Rupholding (even if the sprint discipline suits her more).

Thanks, I just hope that everything will go according to plan and that I'll be healthy in time

Perhaps there's still enough time for Bjoerndalen to embrace Belgium?

Yup, even Lithuania on their worst possible season are closing in
