Will let you know how she gets on in the 15k Individual. 5th after the first shoot - 0 @ 20 secs. Hmm, on-screen graphics following no known logic here. Darya is 0 1 though. Does not help that the commentator seems to think her duty is to imitate a platform announcer at a railway station. Oh dear, dear, not going well - 11th at over two minutes down after 3 shoots - 0 1 1 . Not getting any better - ski speed is there but 0 1 1 2 for 16th & 3:59 back after 4 shoots tells its own story. So at the final - 15th overall. . Will respect spoilers for the winner obvs. Will bring you up-to-date with the sprints when I watch them, probably about late March. Just imagine I am live-commentating from somewhere in interstellar space. RobtheAggie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Russians are always capable of great shooting. I remember years back the women’s relay team shot what was then & probably is still a WR record 41/40 in a relay & then a couple of weeks later, at the next relay, the men did the same. But then ....

It was very impressive. I think that with less recovery time between shooting stages as well. If Rupholding ever hosts a Super Sprint, we now know what the course will be. Just wondering, did Sweden even finish the pursuit? They were so far back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
