Already quit. so she joins the lovely list of these ladies that left the team during their junior/youth career Lina Kreivenaitė Liudmila Kolosova Anastasija Baranovskaja Aliona Sabaliauskienė Olga Tatarinova Olga Derendiajeva Gabrielė Keinaitė Karolina Banel Marija Kaznačenko Gaudvilė Nalivaikaitė Kotryna Vitkūnaitė Alina Tuzikaitė Vitalija Kutkauskaitė Nadezda Derendiajeva Rūta Banytė Darija Jankauskaitė Kamilė Jakubauskaitė Raminta Dindaitė Ana Jesipionok Viktorija Augulytė So yeah, the only female biathlete that we have from the past 12 years of junior and youth competitions that is still active today is Gabrielė Leščinskaitė and that's why our women's team absolutely imploded.

I don't think he was ever yours to begin with? Born and raised in Lithuania and did all his junior and senior races for Lithuania. Just because he has a Polish surname, doesn't mean you can claim him

Question to @Wumo Will there be updates regarding how many points did a single athlete collect during a stage so that we have some stats we can work with if we're planning a transfer?

After today, it's only the twelth time that a Lithuanian biathlete makes it into the top 20. A lot of it is still dominated by Diana, but Vytautas and Tomas still have a career ahead of them. 1. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 8th place, 2011/12 season, Oberhof Sprint 2. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 10th place, 2009/10 season, Oberhof Sprint 3. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 11th place, 2008/09 season, Pyeong Chang WCH Sprint 4. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 11th place, 2006/07 season, Pokljuka Sprint 5. Tomas Kaukėnas, 13th place, 2018 Pyeong Chang Olympic Games Pursuit 6. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 15th place, 2011/12 season, Khantiy-Mansiysk Sprint 7. Vytautas Strolia, 16th place, 2020/21 season, Kontiolahti Individual 8. Tomas Kaukėnas, 17th place, 2018 Pyeong Chang Olympic Games Sprint 9. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 18th place, 2006 Turino Olympics Games Sprint 10. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 18th place, 2013/14 season, Ostersund Individual 11. Diana Rasimovičiūtė, 19th place, 2009/10 season, Rupholding Sprint 12. Vytautas Strolia, 20th place, 2019/20 season, Oberhof Sprint There are further three Lithuanians that have made top 40 in the past 25th Karol Dombrovski, 2018/19 season, Pokljuka Individual 27th Natalija Kočergina, 2018/19 season, Ostersund WCH Sprint 39th Gabrielė Leščinskaitė, 2014/15 season, Kontiolahti WCH Individual A humble history for Lithuanian biathlon, but yes, only six athletes have made it into the top 40 at least once and we're in this for like 20 years. Only Diana Rasimovičiūtė is no longer active.

I'm just saying that these swaps are not because of coaches considering athletes after a 15/20km run. It's a mix of underperformers getting replaced as well, as some youngsters coming in that don't have the legs for 20k yet and some teams are putting forward their faster skiers that don't shoot as well.

Those that were replaced were definitely not replaced because of their tired legs after a 15/20. Nearly all of them finished between 70-100 and the teams don't usually consider the well being of their weakest athletes that much.

Not all them, Russia and Germany just took out their worst placed performer, but it's mostly done so the younger athletes don't run the full 20k, which is why a lot of younger athletes are in in the sprint.

Less than 24 hours between the races, you'd probably expect the teams to not go too crazy and not switch around the athletes during a Covid year, but it happened. Oryashkov (101st) for Bulgaria out, Todev, 19yo in Millar (98th) out for Canada, Burnotte, 23yo in Krupcik (76th) out for Czech Republic, Mikyska, 20yo in Siimer (85th) out for Estonia, Raenkel, 30yo in Ranta (66th) out for Finland, Hiidensalo, 29yo in Beletskiy (95th) out for Kazakhstan, Sirik, 26yo in Balodis (58th) and Slotins (96th) out for Latvia, Matjuhins 19yo, Birkentals 19yo in Skorusa (94th) out for Poland, Szwajnos, 22yo in Trsan (69th) out for Slovenia, Cisar, 20yo in Hartweg (54th) out for Switzerland, Tambornino, 34yo in Baloga (92nd) out for Slovakia, Bartko, 24yo in Dudchenko (99th) out for Ukraine, Lesiuk, 24yo in Women, imagine that, have 104 starters compared to 101 men. Which sport can actually boast about that? Sola (66th) out for Belarus, Kruchinkina I., 25yo in Vobornikova (82nd) out for Czech Republic, Tepla, 21yo in Lehtonen (79th) out for Finland, Laari, 30yo in Weidel (68th) out for Germany, Schneider, 23yo in Kolomiyets (86th) out for Kazakhstan, Klimina, 31yo in Ko (100th) and Kim (101st) out for South Korea, Mun 32yo, Frolina 36yo in Puce, 21yo is in for Latvia, moving them up to two starters Goreeva (56th) out for Russia, Mironova, 26yo in Selina Gasparin did not start in the individual for unknown reasons, but she is in the startlist for the sprint Bekh (64th) out for Ukraine, Valj Semerenko, 34yo in Phaneuf (75th) out for United States, Irwin, 28yo in So remember, you have to do good or you might get replaced by an IBU cup athlete.

Magnusson was so bad, you didn't even notice her Horberg with 19th ski speed though. Slower than both Oebergs only.

What I wouldn't do

You got to be kidding me Lithuanian women are in 20th place in the nation cup We only have two, what are we gonna do guys? Does anybody know a Russian in need of citizenship for next year, just in case we qualify to the Olympics?

Maren Hammerschmidt is probably my best cost-efficient purchase of this biathlon manager season.

Gabrielė Leščinskaitė is running towards her 2nd best result ever in the World Cup. I told you guys she was training

Elisabeth Hogberg is in the World Cup not because Sweden selected her she is using the wildcard from her IBU cup overall win

Good frikkin luck Stina Nilsson, you're gonna need it

Ok, this is unfair. I could have had all 5 female Swedish biathletes and still won this whole thing.

Olsbu is second in command for me, Hanna Oeberg the captain.

Lisa Theresa Hauser is gonna get the boot after this shoot.

If there were no nation restrictions, I would have had Oeberg, Brorsson and Persson in my team.

Chloe Chevalier knows what she has to do now...

Did Braisaz and Chevalier marry each other, to both end up with the same surname?

My main priority is keeping the 4 starting spots So I'm always keeping an eye on Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Poland and Belgium.

All time best nation cup start. Nearly 300 points, 13th place and that's without Tomas.
