WTF I commented she had 'quite a bit of luck', but this is something else It made all the difference in the world for her, but no difference at all for Franch fans, as she would have finished 2nd behind Jeanmonnot.

If we are counting team events, I'm sure Klaebo would be extremely disappointed if he ended with just 4 golds

We are probably about to find out, I'm afraid he will blow up in the re-run.

I think 500m an 10.000m are still a possibility A lot of people say the track gets generally slower during the competition, which has probably helped Lorello in the 5.000m. In the 10.000m, Semirunniy will skate in one of the first two heats, whereas all the other medal contenders will be in heats 5 and 6.

Yes, I think he can win 4 individual golds.

Stolz is from a different planet I'm a completely neutral watcher, but I'm really bummed by Wennemars ending up 0.24 out of the podium.

I'm not sure re-running will help Wennemars, I don't think he will be able to recover entirely.

Man, you have to feel for Wennemars. He would have been somewhere around the 1.07.0 mark.

Colder temperatures in the second run did the trick

If that goes for the women's race too, I'll sign up for this.

Can we steal an American sled before the 2nd run?

Nagler/Malleier the absolute worst in the final section Not surprising, as they are notoriously error-prone.

Eitberger/Matschina only 0.022 behind with two mistakes There is no way Voetter/Oberhofer are hanging on in the 2nd run.

Austria clearly has better sleds that Italy, Egle/Kipp should have been way further from Voetter/Oberhofer with that mistake.

It's the first since 2002, when Nikulchina won bronze in the pursuit.

A pretty predictable 1-2 for France. Given their skiing form (+quality of equipment) and the fact they are miles ahead of everybody else in shooting, they are winning a gazillion medals in Antholz.

Podium for Bulgaria

Quite a bit of luck for Simon in that final shooting. I don't think Preuss is going to make it even with 20/20. Jeanmonnot can spoil Hristova's party, she has to make up 8 seconds in the final lap.

La prova pessima delle italiane del biathlon, quella deludente di Franzoni e le temperature altissime di Cortina stanno gettando le basi per una giornata disastrosa. EDIT: a onor del vero, pessima Wierer no, però visto come hanno sparato le altre, col 19/20 si poteva andare a podio, è mancato qualcosa (molto) sugli sci. La grande delusione è Vittozzi, che secondo me si prende dei rischi che mi lasciano perplesso in un'individuale. Va bene che la dinamica di tiro è quella, ma almeno sull'apertura anche i più aggressivi si prendono un attimo in più.

Hristova need a couple more favourites to miss to achieve the unthinkable

No.

Another awful shooting day for the Italians. Thankfully we got silver on Sunday, because individual competitions are looking very gloomy.

There goes Wierer’s race and Italy’s remaining chances

Yes, but by athletes with completely different characteristics. Also, I’m fairly sure at the very least one of Jeanmonnot and Simon will not miss more than one target, and you can’t beat them with the same amount of penalties.
