US with a good showing, three in the 20s.  Wes Campbell with 5 misses but only 1:56 behind.  He had the 6th fastest course time.  Congrats to Kulbin.  You have to sort of feel bad for the three who did not make the pursuit.  The two from Belgium were at least a min out of 60th place, one was almost 3 min.

Impressive that Germany won a medal in 5 out of the 6 races so far*. The german women are in a very good place. Crazy that the 3rd best talent (Moric) is the only girl who won 2 medals in 2 races so far.

 

* This is already the best result for Germany in terms of individual medals since 2014 (when they won 7 individual medals). The last time Germany won 8 or more  individual medals was in 2010 (when they won 8 individual medals).

2 races - 2 medals (2x silvers) for Borguľa was absolutely unexpected, especially his skiing in Utah is more than great.

 

Last night even with 3rd fastest skiing of all :yikes:

A lot of these youngsters don't progress from the youth ranks to the world cup. Most of them quit the sport within a few years. We had a lot of girls who were good in youth rankings but then quit after a season or two in the seniors. I hope the same does not happen with Lena and the others. Winning in this means nothing if you don't have a support structure to help their progress in the seniors. Big nations do ok, but then you have biathletes from Holland, Romania, Canada, Poland, Kazakhstan... who just disappear despite begin jwch champions.

Maybe if she won't be good enough to make the german team. Would still be a disgusting decision of course.

Why? Not the first one or last. If she doesn’t make German team, what is the problem? She seems to have both passports.

It is disgusting when people profit from the system of a certain country (financed by tax payers) and then compete for another country (that gets the rewards). Same is true in other areas as well. Every year there are many people who finish their medicine studies in Germany (financed by tax payers) and then go to Switzerland because they can earn more there, those are disgusting human beings. I also feel the same way about people who only live in certain places to dodge taxes (for example Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic or many formula 1 drivers), they are disgusting human beings as well and it is braindead to think that any of them feel patriotic. At least in sport (with the X per nation rule) you can argue that it is good when all the best athletes get to compete.
