    SalamAkhi got a reaction from maestro in Biathlon IBU World Cup 2022 - 2023   
    I was so wrong 
    Very very impressive indeed on the skis, and above all her shooting may not be as erratic as it could. Didn't see her prone but 5/5, 36s, that's fair enough. Then the standing, with three mistakes of course but look at how she managed to put the last two, in 31s total which is quite decent. 
    Will be very interesting to see her in a peloton (or alone then) and shooting in confrontation, but this performance is encouraging. 
    Also really exciting as for the skiing abilities of the young IBU Cup guns 
  2. Wow!

    Xandra Velzeboer has just OBLITERATED the 500m WR by half a second 
    41.936 -> 41.416 
    And the times overall aren't this good, she's really standing out on her own. Her start is not particularly strong, I guess she could take a second off it in a mixed race.

    This is a very poor move and will create a further gap between the top nations and the rest.
     
    Even if we assume the Challenger Series will have a proper schedule (say 6 stops), funding for the national teams will be a big issue. Some of the core teams are already struggling and it will be more so because nobody wants to heavily fund a "division II" team.

    Felicitations to Mathilde Gros - six years after that mad-fast flying 200 junior record, she's come of age.
     
    Winning on home soil in the next Olympic velodrome isn't a bad place to win your first rainbow jersey.

    So is Olympic runner-up Olena Starikova .
    Surprisingly so Emma Hinze only managed the 6th time of the qualifying round, not that it would take the favorite status away from her but the title is not awarded yet.
     
    I would give Van Riessen the edge over Grabosch.

    There is a misunderstanding here. The so-called challengers are the minnows, while those who can cause an upset are the real "challengers" as we may understand it.

    I'm surprised to see the women's team sprint for the Netherlands is not projected to qualify yet? They were second in the recent european championship.

    Next year's World Series will be interesting. Lots of teams will be in contention for the 4 automatic spots and the outcome will be decisive towards the continental representation. If Argentina can repeat last edition's performance then Uruguay/Chile could have a huge shot at making the Olympics. Should South Africa continue to crumble (though the CG proved they're far from over), Kenya would be in big trouble etc.

    Annoncer ça à deux ans des Jeux c'est osé. Poids j'ai du mal à y croire mais en javelot avoir un athlète ne me parait pas impossible, en tout cas impossible de dire que cela ne sera pas le cas.

    Pas trop compris le tableau. Dans la plupart des épreuves la liste semble se baser sur Munich mais en gardant parfois ceux qui semblent au bout du rouleau, et en éjectant ceux qui semblent tout juste commencer à pointer le bout de leur nez.
    Pourquoi pas Tual ou un autre (Meziane, Kozar, que sais-je Anselmini) sur 800 ?
    Pourquoi Compaoré mais pas un ou plusieurs jeunes ? Raffin (même si décevant en compétition), Hodebar, Gogois ?
    Valentin Lavillenie au lieu de Ammirati. Konaté tout seul à la longueur. Ombissa ? Quid de Bonnin ?

    Meh. Looks good this way but the camera angles during the action don't give the same feeling. I actually prefer the older version, this one is still quite small, but much more standardized. Shot put area in the center is also meh.

    Could have done more. Actually she probably would have beaten the CR and maybe the WR if not for her elbow injury.

    beat  3-0 in the European Golden League semis.
    Second straight win against Croatia after last year's Euro, and still FIVB decided to send Croatia to the WCh to replace Russia. They have proved time and time again that awarding wild-cards was within their capabilities, but not this time. Great progress and hosting the next Olympics is not enough it seems.

    She also had good distance results, but rather classical. Overall, I remember her as a better classic runner than freestyle.
    But you should keep in mind that for example Denise Herrmann or Stina Nilsson were never really top distance runners and mainly had podium finishes in sprint.

    From 1 (Chloé Chevalier Pursuit 17/18) to probably 5.
    Nations Cup is looking clear, Colombo has won the sprint, Jeanmonnot has already secured the super-sprint and it seems she's made what needed to be done today to conquer the Big one. 
    It shows the density of this B team.
