Nice 11th place for Linas Banys of Lithuania in the juniors cup. That's by far our best placement ever.

OH MY GOD. Linas Banys in junior cup is 0+0 in the sprint and at the moment in second place +52 seconds away from Claude after second shooting

Go go Lindstrom, Sweden on the podium would make my day.

Even in a clown fiesta, the best countries come out on top

That Slovakia x Lithuania rivalry is so on fire right now. We deserve each other

I remember being happy.

I think they caused the Swedish fall? Lithuania is no longer in yellow suits, we're dark red

Dombrovski avoided the penalty loop, but lost a minute in the range

Oh, I missed it

Why? Because of his horrible last lap?

Ah, one shot away from going out 6th

Can we please stop the relay as it is right now?

The thing is that nobody is making a case for themselves. Prior to Hochfilzen sprint, Kočergina was the worst performer out of the three and Gabrielė didn't even get the chance to start in the world cup. With clear shooting, I think she could make a case for herself, though today's performance was horrid with both skiing and shooting.

Well, I saw the stable improvement from Vytautas for a couple of seasons, it's just that his shooting was usually his downfall and I guess this season he had turned it around. On the other hand, Dombrovski didn't really improve over the years and that's the result that is unfolding right now. What is more interesting, is the women selection, where everyone is so surprisingly bad, that it's difficult to choose the two who are the least bad.

Yey, finally some luck for Makarainen I love her, because she always keeps on fighting and her last laps are always the most entertaining to watch.

Okay, so this is pretty amazing for our weak country. Vytautas Strolia, a former Lithuanian cross-country skier switched to biathlon a couple of years ago with very mixed results and pretty bad shooting. He has participated in two pursuits before today and his previous best placement was 50th place in the sprint yesterday. 0+0+1+1 he showed maturity and his improvement over the years and in pursuits Lithuanians always go backwards, so this is a very nice thing indeed. It is also the first time since 2015 Antholz (Kočergina) and 2015 Kontiolahti (Leščinskaitė) that a Lithuanian biathlete that is not Tomas Kaukėnas manages to get into top 40.

OMG Will this be our first points??? From our former cross-country skier, in a PURSUIT race, where we never win anything

It seems that everything is alright with Vytautas Strolia and his shooting at the moment is 0+0+1+????? This is an amazing chance, but I'm almost certain that the nerves will kick in in the final stand, he's never won points before.

He didn't do a penalty loop, so +2 minutes incoming. Edit: and now it seems that he didn't miss at all? I'm confused.

Woah, that's weird, I could have sworn that Kuzmina had gotten on the podium in recent years, but I checked and saw that she wasn't and it was a surprise for me

Yes, our Kočergina is going to shoot a 0 and take Kuzmina down

Well, you have Kuzmina on the podium, so

The snow is getting faster, Paulina Fialkova might have a field day, if she shoots well.

I think there is a higher power that makes sure that every time that Hildebrand performs well, there'll always be 3 girls that will do better

Wierer IS BACK
