Laura Graves & Verdades have joined the "80% club" yesterday, after scoring 80.080% at the Grand Prix in Wellington. This makes them only the 16th combination that got 80% in an international GP test throughout the history. The others are...

What an expert prediction

Norwegian women are missing everything

It's a clear shooting

No, she is better than Dahlmeier.

Please don't call Frolina Korean. Their mercenary team makes me angry because they'll probably steal Olympic quotas from some biathletes that actually represent their nation...

Tactical reason, lol

It's a payday for @heywoodu Goggia and Stuhec like some amateurs

But after many championships Shane Dobbin finally gets a medal.

Medals for and Name of the country obviously has to start with N to be on the podium.

Dutch barely trolled their way in front of New Zealand.

This looks bad.

To be honest, I don't feel too confident about his chances after seeing this video.

At least not 31st at the end, but still painfully close to top 30.

F***, 31st place again!! Just can't have it any other way.

Course was in complete shadow when she skied so no wonder. Nothing like the sunny conditions for the first few starters.

Well, Fourcade's FB page got a lot of new likes after all this. It's like a stock market going wild.

I don't know. On this video it very much looks like he was watching and following Loginov during the whole exchange. http://video.eurosport.com/biathlon/world-championships/2016-2017/martin-fourcade-collides-with-alexandr-loginov-puts-him-on-his-bum_vid958479/video.shtml

Fourcade apparently intentionally pushed Loginov during the exchange. I did not notice that during the race.

It doesn't mean that bronze is more important than gold (bronze is still only 2 points). It just means that all three medalists are more important. And this system is too complicated... Maybe something like this would work better Gold - 5 pts Silver - 4 pts Bronze - 3 pts Wrong medal - 1 pt Only if someone has all three correct medalists, but some are in wrong order, then wrong medal gives 2 pts instead of 1 pt So we have this example... There are no more bonus points as such. Results: 1. Martin Fourcade - 5 Points 2. Simon Schempp - 4 Points 3. Anton Shipulin - 3 Points Your Total: 12 Points 1. Martin Fourcade - 5 Points 2. Anton Shipulin - 2 Point 3. Simon Schempp - 2 Point Your Total: 9 Points 1. Martin Fourcade - 5 Points 2. Julian Eberhard - 0 Points 3. Simon Schempp - 1 Point Your Total: 6 Points 1. Martin Fourcade - 5 Points 2. Any Other - 0 Points 3. Julian Eberhard - 0 Point Bonus Points: - 0 Points Your Total: 5 Points

Aren't you usually the first one that doesn't want to see convicted EPO dopers, in any sport. Loginov is like an exception really.

This tournament looks very much like a formality. They could give Japan the place right away...

Then we might also add 1 bonus point in case of correctly predicting 2 medalists. Although, I don't see much of a problem in perfect prediction being more rewarding than just gold and silver. Predicting all three medalists is always going to be the harder task.

Fourcade and Shipulin are having a discussion at the press conference. Nobody is asking Germans anything.

I think points system should be modified for individual events. Bonus for predicting all medalists should be 3 points, not just 1. With current system you get same number of points for correctly predicting all three medalists (in wrong order) as with correctly predicting only the gold medalist.
