Yes and by far.
 
His previous pb was two 21st places at World Cup in Pokljuka 2014 WC sprint and in Anterselva 2018 Sprint as well.
 
 
Btw a small fun fact about Martin Otčenáš, did you know he was sprint bronze medalist at the EYOF back in 2005 in Monthey ( ) but in Cross Country Skiing, he was at these times considered as big our prospect in this sport. Even at his 18 ! he competed at the Torino 2006 Winter Olympics in CC Skiing (49th in sprint) the next year he was part of our team at the Nordic Skiing WCh in Japan but there started his problems with the team officials and he decided that there no sense to continue tilting at windmills and switched to biathlon, obviously, was not easy at all, he had to learn shooting, sadly as we know he never really succeeded, todays 0+0 is one real exception

Congrats to the French team and the incredible QFM  damn that one miss though...

Otcenas 10/10!

Do we really need Table Tennis team Wch ? I mean there only 2 events M teams and W Teams and I can already predict that some 90% of the participants know already the medalists

Alexandra Soldatova hospitalized following suicide attempt, it seems she cut her veins

Ivona Fialková equalled today her PB finishing in 9th place. The only and last time she was in the top 10 was in the Oslo 2015 World Cup sprint when she also finished on 9th place but then she had 0+0, today she was 0+1 (incredible that without that very last missed target she would likely won bronze lol)
 
At least this may (considering she will be able to repeat +/- this result also in the Pursuit) open her the door also for the Mass Start at the WCh
 
She became today the 9th Slovak biathlete ever to finish in top 10 at WCH (after Mihoková, Halinárová, Murínová, Matiaško, Hurajt, Kuzmina, Gereková and her older sister Paulína)
 
 
but what is the more important is that today, she fulfilled the criterias for inclusion in the Slovak Sport Top Team, ie she will receive extra funding from our Ministry of Education, Sciences and Sports to prepare for the next two seasons (and join her sister there) !!! So happy for her congrats Ivka !
 

Can't believe it has been 10 years since Vancouver 2010! Time flies.
 

Sorry, no idea what you are talking about ?

Honestly, I don't think so. There are many things to improve so I can at least have some tiny chance. But I've decided I am going to stop with biathlon after the Sprint race here in Martell. There are many things going on and this way it's impossible for me to perform well. I need to take a time for myself, set my goals for the fight for the Olympic ticket on cross country and go for it, otherwise it's gonna be like it was in 2018 and I really don't want that to happen again. The federation has its priorities and I am not willing to keep going its way, putting my career in second so they can keep on working for marketing, as it has been. That already costed an Olympic ticket once. Mentally, that has been sicking for me and I can clearly feel and see its effects physically, on my performances. So, I think I should stop with biathlon at least for now, focus on my fight for the ticket on cross country and also make myself ready to afford the structure for the next season because there is a big chance that the federation won't support me (due to their marketing plans, great support goes to the other athlete, no matter if she is doing cross or mtb, because she is the biggest Olympian, and also due to my decision of stopping with biathlon and this way also stopping giving them many equipments - skis/ski boots/poles/bindings/waxes/clothes/gloves and a lot of money (750€ per each stage of IBU that I have at least one start in and over 50.000€ for the points in the nations ranking) everything gotten from IBU). Honestly, I am tired of that. Ask me how much we get from this... Nothing. Ask me how many training camps do we have to prepare for the season... None! And still they want us to perform well. How can I shoot well if I don't train anything for that? And you have no idea how stressful it is. So much pressure for nothing. I simply can't keep it, sorry.

Did I? Surely not on purpose. I'll add you in a while.

So this happened last weekend...it's now been confirmed Bouwmeester suffered a heart attack. He was 'awake and conscious' when arriving at the hospital, so that's good.
 
 

Danka Barteková started the new season with a new finals pb 58/60 and equalling her qualifications pb 121/125 and winning her first seasons competition the GP of Cyprus.
 
Well done Danka !
 
This is going to be one extremely challenging year for her with a try to repeat London 2012 on both fronts, win a medal in Tokyo 8 years after her bronze from the London games and trying to be reelected as IOC athletes commission member for the second term of office in a row.
 

Greek uniforms

Jamal Wilson qualified to Tokyo as well

Zayas Easy as hell !!!

Thanks  I follow the event over the livestream. High jump is after all one of my favourite disciplines in athletics. (Mostly due to being a former high jumper myself in my youth.)

I just hope as opposed to 1996 the locals will be instructed this time that Georgian athletes were not a specially added team composed from athletes around Atlanta, but it's a separate country outside the US.

Well, this was a bit simplyfied comment, I read that he argued the substance came from a meat he eat somewhere in Colombia, ITF accepted his explanations and since it was his first delict they let him go

Seems I spoke too soon 

Found something waiting in a box on my doorstep after I got home from college today 

 
The bag is a bit bigger than I expected. It’s a full on rainproof backpack really. The bag seems like a good, high quality bag. Logo/Olympic Rings on front and back. A nice little prize for sure. Pretty cool all-in-all.  
 
It comes in what is possible the shifty looking box of all-time 
 
Box is labeled with a letter that features a small green line on it. Wording should be in French.

I hope so too. I would prefer hosting the Summer Olympics in 2036 or 2040, as we have the venues already built and we would not need to spend such huge amount of money nor ask other coutries to host events. I don't care if the host city is Madrid or Barcelona.

The meat thing is like a free pass to dope one time and one time only
