    With a huge win in the Qualification

    Linn Svahn is Out of the World Championships due to a crash in yesterdays training.

    I would postpone the overall World Cup until the third trimester. So much can still happen in March. Difficult courses, who is how tired after the WCH? We should be more concerned about Simon and Braisaz, who are currently competing for the worst shooting result. Will they be able to turn things around for the World Championships?

    Ski jumping had to adapt to the biathlon and alpine skiing. Without floodlights, they would hardly get any TV time because biathlon and alpine skiing take place during the day.
  5. JonPhi
    In 2015, the decision was made to abandon floodlit races for cost reasons. In the meantime, the course in Oberhof and Ruhpolding has also been slightly changed, meaning that the floodlight masts also had to be reinstalled in some places.

    It feels like the Swedes are shooting worse from year to year

    Especially as they have no room for manoeuvre to make any major changes to the course. With 59 metres of elevation gain over just 1.2 km, the sprint course is at the absolute limit in terms of difficulty. The same applies to the skiathlon tomorrow, with almost 900 metres of elevation gain over the 20 kilometres, which is extremely demanding.

    Cassol won the Prologue

    I think Julia Tannheimer will continue to perform so well on the flatter courses in Ruhpolding and Antholz, which will suit her technique. Oberhof will be more exciting, the courses are very demanding, but quite comparable to the World Championships in Lenzerheide. That's why I'm really looking forward to Oberhof this season. Anyone who can cope well with the courses in Oberhof should also be able to run at the front at the World Championships.

    I have the feeling that she's making the same mistake as last year, where she competed in the World Cup the whole time, instead of saying that she's not going to compete in the World Cup this year and would rather take a rest. I wouldn't be surprised if she runs the relay on Sunday...

    After the Ruka disaster in the prologue, Jonna Sundling is back in the lead as usual: 6 seconds ahead of second-placed Jasmin Joensuu. In the men's race, Ben Odgen beats Klæbo in an incredibly close prologue, which will be dramatically close later.

    I'm curious to see if she survives beyond the trimester or even Kontiolahti. In the past, we've often heard that the Swedes are in particularly good form at the start. I still remember Johanna Skottheim the most, she also had a dream week in Kontiolahti four years ago and nothing worked from Hochfilzen onwards. She's still competing in the IBU Cup, but won't make it into the World Cup. We'll have completely different snow conditions in Hochfilzen next week, so everything will start all over again.

    He still died less than Braisaz, she was extremely weak.
  14. JonPhi
    However, the tracks are not really comparable in terms of profile and the athletes are also used to this in terms of training volume. And the World Cup starters could certainly start two 50ks in two weeks, but after that they would definitely be out and if the next race is two days later, it's just not feasible.

    The Norwegians prefer individual starts The calendar is actually a bit confusing. The last classic sprint is in Falun in mid-February, then only three skating sprints, can't you add some variety? And then there's the World Cup in Falun in mid-February. One week before the World Championships, where the Swedish national team, the home team, has already announced that the majority of the World Championship starters will be in training camp. Seriously? I can already see that almost none of the World Cup starters will be competing there ...

    Cogne (ITA) has prevailed over Ulricehamn (SWE) and will replace the World Cup in Nove Mesto (CZE). This means that a total of 10 World Cup races are planned in Italy next season.
  17. JonPhi
    The IBU has announced some stupid rules for the new season. Among other things, the top 15 in the overall World Cup will start with a 60-second delay with bib numbers 42 to 70. If there are low conditions again, this is a huge disadvantage for the athletes with the high numbers. https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/rule-changes-2024-2025-season/4Y2Ck3I9b3oprKBerFIlyQ

    And in the Nordic events, they were very creative again... yet they once again copied the same crap from the previous games. For the cross-country skiers, the first week is completely packed, so not everyone competed in every event, and the entire second week consisted only of team sprints and the 50 km race … Unfortunately, there were no night events for the Alpine skiers in Bormio, even though there were floodlights available.
  19. JonPhi
    A maximum of three Nordic combined athletes per country are allowed to compete at the Olympics, so there is no possibility of fielding two teams. The field of participants has been reduced to 36 athletes.
  20. JonPhi
    Certainly not a second. But France, the Netherlands and Germany were only just behind and these relay teams can still add to their tally. And first they have to get through, that already went wrong in Munich.
  21. JonPhi
    Jordier is their best runner? Never ... He didn't run at the World Championships last year either.
  22. JonPhi
    Germany has exchanged two athletes for the preliminary round (both men). Don't the rules stipulate that only one athlete may be changed?
  23. JonPhi
    The first competitions are already listed in the venues description on the organizer's homepage, for example ... Biathlon: Mixed Relay 08.02 Alpine: Downhill Women 07.02 Alpine: Downhill Men 08.02 Ski Jumping: 07.02 Cross Country Skiing: 07.02 https://milanocortina2026.olympics.com/en/places/ There isn't a complete schedule yet, is there?
  24. JonPhi
    Dahlqvist is out
  25. JonPhi
    Some updates from the IBU meeting: - the Super Sprint will be deleted from all IBU race series - the Mixed Relay will always be 4x6km in the future, no matter if women or men start
