Right, women's sprint in the IBU Cup and the decision on whether or not Slovenia has a relay at home tomorrow in the World Cup.. 

Interesting, we have a New Zealander in the Junior race now. My second home

Actually it's OK because Andreja Mali is coming out of retirement for that one race. Sort of like what the British did last year.

Apparently we're helping the Spanish team as well today, so, vamos  

I don't know which to watch. I guess I'll flip between them

My hope is somewhat focussed on Lenzerheide's Facebook or something

You can cheer for bibs 2 and 41  

Let me know if you find the livestream, ok? I will do the same

Oh true! 

I will of course

I heard that today there should be because apparently IBU is investing more in it since it was a rather big success last year  

 

The Brazilian federation guy and the Dutch coach both said there should be live streaming as well, but I haven't found it yet. The Dutch coach said something about on IBU's website, but I didn't see it yet, also not here: http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/ibu/

 

Half an hour to go to the IBU Cup men's sprint and Junior Cup men's individual, for which I'll probably be assisting the assistant coach by providing her with live timing information on Whatsapp which she will shout on to Caio and Lucas  

Live stream? Really? Cool! Maybe they just meant live timing though, I'm pretty sure IBU doesn't do livestreams on their site except through Eurovision.

That's awesome! Let me know if I can be of any assistance, though it is unlikely. Haha.

No, IBU points are available at World Cup, IBU Cup, World Championships and Open European Championships. 

Ah. I wonder also if there will be live data for the junior races. Last year there wasn't any if I recall.

Here's Liechtenstein's Chiara Hasler on tomorrow's start list for the individual in the IBU Junior Cup

http://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/1617/BT/JIBU/CP01/JWIN/BT_C51A_1.0.pdf

 

I've asked Bruna Moura (who is too old to compete) to take a picture of Hasler if she can during the competition (maybe she's too busy though, I know she'll be the 'assistant coach' for Gabi). 

Are there any IBU point or qualifying criteria connected with the JWC? I assume not

Hahaha tell her not to be too creepy about it...

Great to see Gabi racing and the younger men's generation! The Brazil Biathlon fan club (with 2 members plz join lol) extends its full support!

Personally I'm also supporting Henar, Greece, the British and of course Chiara!

Also it seems the Serbian women are at it again...this should be interesting lol

Krcmar and Puskarcikova amazing today, also if only Vaclavik could shoot consistently I think he's capable of great results!

Oh Charvatova 

She still has so so much potential. I would send Jislova to IBU cup though for now

true, well, it´s hard to judge them, I´m pretty sure the guys do their best in each race, unfortunately our quality and level is poor, but really honnestly I can not blame them, I´m persuated they try their best each race...

Very true. Time to go to bed now. Pretty interesting how Koukalova is starting 62nd. Hoping for Hermann to do well, too!

Pursuit = 4 shootings optimism is fine but we must be also a bit realistics

We have to have optimism... There is not much else we can do

yes, well, don´t get me wrongly, I´m really happy with his zero, each our guy on points is fine, I´ll be happy with it even if he´ll finish 40th. we need points for the NC

Yeah  Well I think he will and maybe Otcenas if he is lucky. And there's always the pursuit.

yeah great...but with our ski walking even a 10/10 will mean 30th place

We have to take our victories where we can get them

It does indeed seem like that.

 

Though he did hold out against Shipulin

Yeah, but Shipulin gained 12 seconds on him. Needs to work on pacing if he wants to beat Fourcade. I wonder if there's anyone out there who is fully capable of beating Fourcade even when he shoots clear.

Just now, Agger said:

Boe clearly isn't in his best skiing shape!

I was thinking he could hold out. But I guess he just overdid it on the first half of the race..

I guess Fourcade's 'Pokljuka Curse' will last a bit longer.

Never mind, then! It's a nailbiter

I guess Fourcade's 'Pokljuka Curse' will last a bit longer.

Hasilla of Slovakia shooting clear!

Yes, working on the ranking is the hard part because of all the averages and importing the data and stuff. Last season it worked, but they have slightly changed the PDF format now and that's messing up the Excel sheet I had for it  

 

And the tables and stuff I made for calculating the points (I even wrote a little program in Python coding language  ) was mostly for me to know how the Brazilians are doing as soon as possible and especially when I'm at the competition and downloading the PDF's isn't the easiest way   (you know, so I can tell them their points and results long before their coach comes up with his tablet and tell them the results, like I did in Obertilliach last season  )

Hahaha  

So it's simply the average of the best results of each of the last three trimesters?

Just now, heywoodu said:

But those are the points only for that race, right? They publish them since the beginning of last season if I'm not mistaken, but the actual points list (the "ranking", where all these results are combined and which is so important for qualification spots) is nowhere to be found.. 

Yeah. It's a shame they don't, but at least we can work them out?

It's better than guessing and checking like we did for the IBU Cup sprints  Not taking anything away from that, though, it turned out to all be pretty accurate!

By the way! I only realized this now, IBU does publish qualifying points lists after each race. You have to look in the 'Reports' section of the datacenter.

Maybe you know this already, I don't know. But now it'll be a lot easier to keep track of people!
