Tiril Eckhoff will no longer compete in relay and pursuit. Instead she will join the rest of the team in altitude training in Italy to prepare for Antholz and the Olympics: https://www.nrk.no/sport/eckhoff-gir-opp-verdenscupen-_-satser-for-fullt-pa-ol-1.15807626

She was at least nominated here for Ruhpolding for the relay. She should also get another chance for the Olympic ticket. So despite the good results of the others today we should actually see Skottheim on Friday.

Skottheim should get her Olympic Chance in the Relay.

That Relay on Friday What a depth.

Johannes Kühn COVID positive. Philipp Horn will replace him.

Quite strange, only two Slaloms left this season … Are and Meribel

World Cup Planica cancelled due to Covid-19. So no more World Cup planned before the Olympics at the moment.

Looking at the Top 20 in the World cup standing at the moment. For some of the top athletes Ruhpolding will be the last World Cup before the Olympics and Top15 will get a quota place in the Olympic Mass Start: Women 1 Marte OLSBU Roeiseland NOR 537 Points 2 Elvira OEBERG SWE 449 Points 3 Dzinara ALIMBEKAVA BLR 418 Points 4 Hanna OEBERG SWE 404 Points 5 Lisa Theresa HAUSER AUT 382 Points 6 Hanna SOLA BLR 374 Points 7 Anais CHEVALIER-BOUCHET FRA 307 Points 8 Kristina REZTSOVA RUS 297 Points 9 Anais BESCOND FRA 292 Points 10 Marketa DAVIDOVA CZE 291 Points 11 Julia SIMON FRA 255 Points 12 Justine BRAISAZ-BOUCHET FRA 253 Points 13 Dorothea WIERER ITA 246 Points 14 Denise HERRMANN GER 239 Points 15 Mona BRORSSON SWE 234 Points 16 Ingrid Landmark TANDREVOLD NOR 227 Points 17 Vannessa VOIGT GER 224 Points 18 Uliana NIGMATUILLINA RUS 204 Points 19 Jessica JUSLOVA CZE 184 Points 20 Lotte LIE BEL 184 Points Men 1 Quentin FILLON MAILLET FRA 461 Points 2 Emilien JACQUELIN FRA 449 Points 3 Sebastian SAMUELSSON SWE 425 Points 4 Tarjej BOE NOR 404 Points 5 Vetle Sjaastad CHRISTIANSEN NOR 379 Points 6 Sturla Holm LAEGREID NOR 344 Points 7 Johannes Thingnes BOE NOR 343 Points 8 Eduard LATYPOV RUS 336 Points 9 Alexandr LOGINOV RUS 314 Points 10 Johannes KUEHN GER 279 Points 11 Simon DESTHIEUX FRA 270 Points 12 Anton SMOLSKI BLR 264 Points 13 Fabien CLAUDE FRA 259 Points 14 Sivert Guttorm BAKKEN NOR 226 Points 15 Benjamin WEGER SUI 205 Points 16 Roman REES GER 294 Points 17 Tero SEPPALA FIN 197 Points 18 Benedikt DOLL GER 188 Points 19 Felix LEITNER AUT 187 Points 20 Philipp NAWRATH GER 183 Points

Eduard Latypov is allowed to leave Oberhof on January 20, so the 14 days remain. After consultation with the authorities, he is allowed to leave the room alone for 2 hours a day for training.

Brorsson should be safe after the race today. At least Helena Ekholm thinks so too. Consider that Brorsson is still clearly the No. 3 in the team. Persson and Magnusson with very weak performances here in Oberhof. Nilsson with catastrophic standing shooting today, but Skottheim was not better yesterday. Strangely enough, she doesn't even run in the IBU Cup. For me, Nilsson and Brorsson are definitely the No. 5 and 6.

Unvaccinated or not recovered athletes are not allowed to start at the World Cup in Antholz: https://www.nordicmag.info/biathlon-les-non-vaccines-a-la-covid-19-ne-pourront-pas-aller-a-antholz-0109/

She'll probably be nominated in any case. Skottheim is too slow and there is no one else. Brorrson gets 5th place and she gets 6th place. Since Magnusson and Persson are far away, a start in the sprint is not even unrealistic.

Petra has not really excelled in giant slalom this season. Otherwise, it's nice to see other names in front. Hector, Worley and Bassino already have a gap, but behind them it will be really exciting. Unfortunately, it is hardly transmitted, because biathlon comes parallel.

Robinson it is too much! She is a little bit like Noel.

Guigonnat - Desthieux - Bescond - Simon Claude - Chevalier Bouchet so no Jacquelin, Fillon Maillet and Braisaz-Bouchet

Typical fog and wind

Benjamin Weger covid-positive also in Isolation.

Osrblie has no snow most of the time. Even now at the IBU Cup everything is brown and green around. The World Cups in the past were regularly cancelled due to lack of snow. And if places like Nove Mesto or Le Grand Bornand don't get any space every year despite the masses of spectators, then it becomes difficult for such places. Otepää is now a newcomer.

Rescheduled to Schladming .

In Germany, unfortunately, you can not say in general how long you have to be in isolation or quarantine. The decision depends on the local health department. A distinction is made as to whether you have to be in isolation (affected yourself) or in quarantine (contact person). From the quarantine you can usually test yourself freely from the isolation not before the expiry of the ordered time. And now it should also be differentiated with which variant one is infected, Omikron or Delta. Therefore, one can only rely on the statements of the health office of the district and according to the information of the German television, they have ordered 14 days of isolation.

14 days in a hotel room? You lose all your form and then he only has 2 weeks left...

Latypov will also miss Ruhpolding because he has to go into a 14-day quarantine. Olympics are also quite over with that.
