Alpencup #5 was this weekend.  6 Nations were present - (Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Croatia and Mexico)  I love that Mexico was there.

Results from the Sprint are here.  All I can say is that Mexico has only one way they can go.  

Results from the Super Individual are here.

Well they could always get worse, after all those guys are already thirty something.

 

But let's hope the national federation starts recruiting new talents for Biathlon races in the future.

Does Mexico have a specific biathlon federation or do they have something like Brazil, which has a general snow sports federation? In the case of the latter, they'd probably be a lot better off spending some years in trying to lay a somewhat decent foundation for cross-country skiing and only once that is established, try and look towards biathlon...after all, biathlon is going to be a hell of a lot harder to have some sort of foundation.

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Before Sochi it was a general winter sports federation, and only ice hockey had a separate body.
Now we have an independent ski federation which is also overseeing biathlon; in fact those two athletes are former cross country competitors, so I’m guessing the plan is to continue looking for talents in the later and select one or two of them for biathlon
