Swiss did about what I thought the would do.  Weger was strong, Finello and Wiestner were solid.  Burkhalter just did not have the speed to keep up.

 

The US was a mixed bag.  They did better than their ranking of 16th.  I do like splitting Nordgren and Doherty.  Brown and Schommer were serviceable.  This was the first relay since Burke and Bailey retired that I felt there was a chance to get in the top 10.  I think one of the amazing things was how Belgium was the only team lapped.

 

I guess heavy snow conditions evens up the ski speed difference between the top nations & the rest.

Very happy with the French victory, finally a good race without any meltdown from one of our biathletes

Finally we crossed finish line, barely, but still being second of last is better than being lapped

Oh dear, Lardschneider  once again has a bad day.  Norway can’t buy a hit either.

Well, Eckhoff and Olsbu will have some catching up to do.

 

Larschneider meltdown undoes all of Vittozzi's work

Now if this was horseracing or boxing every would think they were running a betting scam week after week.

You know it's bad when Tomasz Sikora gets upset how slowly Kamila Zuk is shooting. She's really giving away too much time on the range

Another utter embarassment, Not able to reach the freaking 2nd exchange. This is pure havoc. Honnestly at this point I hope we will not qualify a W relay for the Olympics.

Sacré bleu!  
 

Horrible for Eckhoff!
