It's time the team got fresh faces... 

They already weren't the best of friends but with this race the atmosphere between them is gonna worsen, and it's probably going to impact the rest of the season individually for all of them.

The French team weren't the best of friends? 

 

Just another lie fed by the Eurosport commentators that always said that no one can beat the team spirit in the French team

Oh this feels boring without a few good teams !

 

Just hope Alimbekava returns to her home nation and gives up Belarussian citizenship. Would be a big boost for biathlon in .

At this point I think we should try teach Patrik Jány skiing, even with a 2 weeks basic skiing course he will be probably better than what we have here

QFM doesn't seem to have top form anymore, so the overall World Cup is not secured yet. Vetle is simply a grenade in the direct duel

Karol Dombrovski murdered Lithuania with that awful horrendous performance on the skis.

 

We haven't had an athlete in a relay this slow in I don't know how many years.

 

Really had a chance for a top 10 here, but that ski speed, he was not moving at all.

His form usually goes crescendo during a stage though, so I wouldn't say this race showed a lack of form, we'll see tomorrow  Also the team arrived late in Kontiolahti compared to other teams (I wonder why? Because it was obviously a disadvantage)

They really said this?  It's true about the men's team but it's another story in the women's team.

If you ever have the time, I am always interested in hearing the beef between athlete national teams
