  1. That is awesome, unless we get a 10-year case like Operacion Puerto
  2. That is correct (at least for one trimester, those who get under 250 points at least once in a race can compete in the next one as well, those who don't have to skip the next trimester and then try again) About handling a rifle safely: that's mostly up to the federation to kind of vouch for that if I'm not mistaken, there's not really an IBU-test or something where you have to prove it (not anymore at least), which I think is wrong, but alright.
  3. Yeah, it did...it also at some point allowed for Thailand to compete in alpine skiing
  4. He has been shooting very well this season (by the way, he has been living in Austria since his early youth, surely that helps)
  5. All I read is that big sports store Decathlon took it out of their offer under political pressure (whereas the likes of Nike introduced it without problems), but I'm curious if @De_Gambassi or @Bohemia or someone read more about it.
  6. The IBU Cup is open for everyone (assuming one demonstrates the ability to safely handle a rifle and stuff like that) You just have to get a certain number of points to be allowed to compete in the next trimester, if you don't, you have to skip a trimester. In my opinion the IBU points system is a billion times more fair than the FIS points system, because it's just impossible to compare for example World Cups with North American or Iranian races (to take XC as example).
  7. That's easy, every World Cup and IBU Cup, plus Open European and World Championships (and only sprint + individual + since this season supersprint qualifying)
  8. @ahjfcshfghb Apparently Brazil does indeed have a quota, but they have no athlete eligible to use it (average under 180 or one result under 150 if I'm not mistaken). The whole thing would be easier to figure out if IBU actually publishes the damn qualifying points list like they say they do, but they never actually do.
  9. And last but not least, where did you find this? Looks like the Datacenter, but I can't see it anywhere
  10. Well, she's flying back home Sunday (and can't stay in Europe a day longer because of visa rules, she's been here 90 days - the maximum - on Sunday). I'm rather interested in what this means do...a wild card for what exactly?
  11. Because basically it's fraud. You're 'stealing' results (and so, money) from other athletes. Some Wall Street broker engaging in fraud doesn't necessarily physically hurt someone, he does make money by screwing the whole thing.
  12. Yeah, Max Hauke and Dominik Baldauf. Hauke was caught with the needle in his arm
  13. I especially liked the men's keirin semi final being shot back, followed by 16 hours of discussions, resulting in....everybody restarting
  14. Well, if an American citizen can indeed represent for example the US Virgin Islands at the Olympics, that should count, right?
  15. I wanted to save you from knowing that this is in fact Justin Bieber. This knowledge corrupts the mind, which I thought wouldn't be fair to do to you. It was done out of kindness.
  16. That is one of the most goddamn hilarious videos I've seen in my entire life That expression is absolutely priceless
  17. No live streams of afternoon sessions at World Cup, fine...but not even at world championships?
