Looks like no and Athletes at World Cups in Norway this weekend: https://www.nrk.no/sport/overstyrer-fis_-skiforbundet-nekter-russere-a-delta-i-norge-1.15873984

No athletes at FIS junior championships in Zakopane (POL). Otherwise, the organizers would not have held the championship

The next two races are also classic, so bad for Diggins. Neprayeva should be strong in Drammen on Thursday, but the question will be, can she start? Falun looks like no Problem for the Russians.

Looks like there will be no Russians in Kontiolahti or Oslo: https://www.nordicmag.info/les-biathletes-russes-quittent-la-coupe-du-monde-0226/

What should they do, if Estonia don‘t let them in? What should the CAS do?

I understand it so: - No Russian/Belarus Athletes in Otepää anyway - Start for them under neutral flag in Kontiolahti and Oslo (so far), if the IBU invites them

No more Start for Athletes under and flag for this season: https://twitter.com/biathlonworld/status/1497579706278985728

Could be the best Junior Championship for Germany since 2019.

She crashed out again

If this is true, stupid FIS

„This is to inform you that, citing ICR rule 2026.1, in the interest of a fair competition, the Jury of the Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup has decided to cancel the scheduled World Cup events in Sunny Valley (RUS) on Feb 26-27, 2022 following the qualification run.“ Fair competition

R.I.P FIS

aswell.

New Start List for tomorrow https://results.beijing2022.cn/beijing-2022/olympic-games/static/owg2022/pdf/OWG2022/ALP/OWG2022_ALP_C51D_ALPXTE----------------------------.pdf

only with two man tomorrow, because Luca Aerni is flying home today.

Many athletes are already 3-4 weeks there and they want to be at home finally.

I don't understand all the excitement here. The temperatures are at the absolute limit with -17/-18 degrees, plus winds over 10 m/s, which make the whole thing significantly colder again towards -25. Then we already have brutally difficult courses and an altitude of 1800 meters. It is also about the health of the athletes, one will have little interest in that as in the biathlon at these temperatures here athletes collapse on the track or half does not come to the finish. And postpone the race until tomorrow? Due to the Alpine postponement runs tomorrow morning already some parallel, so already times not in the interest of the TV stations. And do you know how cold it is there at 10 o'clock local time when the sun has just come out? Even colder! And the wind is supposed to be even stronger tomorrow than today.

Wind will not be that better Tommorrow, but it is the best way to start as early as possible in the morning. At 12am local time wind up to 12m/s

The feeling temperature is -25 and there is it a lot of wind and the course is already very brutal. At a 50k many athletes would not see the finish

Really? They we wouldn’t have seen the Slalom here at these Olympics and that would be really bad.

The last technique event for the women was last Wednesday and many doesn‘t want to stay another 10 days in Beijing.

Sweden doesn‘t have Sara Hector, so probably not that strong.

Men Mass Start https://results.beijing2022.cn/beijing-2022/olympic-games/static/owg2022/pdf/OWG2022/CCS/OWG2022_CCS_C51E_CCSM50KMMS------------FNL-000100--.pdf

Nilsson won bronze 2018 over 30K, so it is a possibility

With her at the moment anyway, the feeling arises that she hits much more when she just bangs out the shots
