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

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!

Going great so far...

No idea! Though I guess the first thing we need is members lol

Lol what if we made an official Biathlon Brazil fan club You could be the chair

Tell them they have a fanbase here...Haha!

That image is stuck in my head of her leading the IBU cup sprint with 6 misses. She's kind of like Gossner, I guess. Lightning fast but questionable shooting. By the way for the junior WC apparently there is a female athlete from Liechtenstein And we mustn't forget Brazil

Don't see that every day. Hahaha Will look at results in morning

Ha! Who knew? Good on Chardine, 0+0 so far! Aaand maybe I was a bit optimistic about Croatia

Oh sorry I forgot, you can't read my mind lol. I meant for the Olympics. Haha.

Yeah, possibly she will be next Trimester, I think Kosarac got under 250 so they could both be there against the Brazilians? Has the biathlon qualification system changed this year? I think the IBU are doing the wildcard thing again

It appears she's been doing cross-country races recently. https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/athlete-biography.html?sector=CC&competitorid=178984&type=result Karisik and Kosarac have also been at these races.

Yeah, I don't know. They don't really update their website. She never did shoot very well, though. I was thinking that their A team was Karisik, their B team was Kosarac/Kusmuk and their C team was everyone else Lasica who they have in the mixed relay hasn't competed since 2013. Mumovic was 12 minutes behind in the sprint. So... yeah. Apparently Kozica and Blazenic are the Croatian cadet 'A' team so basically the 'A' team since there are no women, with Starcevic part of the 'B' team, as is Ceskovic. Kozica did pretty well for herself there

Yeah, it is weird. I think Croatia can be competitive, and Britain won't be terrible. But Bosnia is basically sending their 'C' team. I wonder how far they will be allowed to go. Still good on them for even participating

3rd place!

Quite funny how out of the 27 teams that started, only about half will finish. I guess that's why Chile pulled out. Unfortunately they'd probably only get to do one or two shootings..

You are forgiven! Hahahahaha Total show of class from the Ukraine. Amazing. The Czech guy is slower than Liadov, he needs an advantage on the range

Could it be a Czech podium??

Merkushyna just... Aaand it's all over for Slovakia

Yeah... Though they won't get much experience if they get lapped after one leg. In the mixed relay I think they can hold out until the last shoot unless they are double-lapped

Macedonia, Britain and Belgium already lapped... In the mixed relay they should last longer, Britain COME ON SLOVAKIA!!! WIN SOMETHING!!!

Agreed! Go Croatia! Slovakia...

Oh dear... I guess gone are the glory days of Croatian biathlon, with Jakov Fak and the women's relay teams...

Yay! I do recall she was complaining about not being treated fairly in the team. The fact that she's leading their mixed relay is surely a good sign. I am seriously rooting for Slovakia. It's time they won something! By the way there are two Chilean guys with Salcedo, one of them is Yonathan Fernandez, who was a cross-country skiier at the 2014 Olympics (I remember him because he had an interesting fall during the sprint qualification). Guess he's turned to biathlon! There's another guy who I've never heard of. http://www.biathlonchile.cl/team-chile-de-biathlon-inicia-su-gira-europea/
