Good to see, and they did not finish last. Bosnia had a terrible first shooting, 3 penalty loops, ouch. E. Claude had a monster last lap on Garanichev to finish in 2nd. US pretty decent in 9th. Maddie Phaneuf and Lars Leopold did well. Phaneuf handed off in 3rd place at the last exchange. Leopold is only 21, and I was afraid he might become undone on the range, but he did well. Norway seemed to be unable to really get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted January 31, 2021 #62 Share Posted January 31, 2021 No loops and not lapped. Where is the champagne? RobtheAggie 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rybak 2,683 Posted January 31, 2021 #64 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Congrats Lithuania for fourth place, Strolia was so happy at the finish line. Nędza-Kubiniec sadly couldnt keep place in top8 RobtheAggie, dcro and Werloc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 337 Posted February 1, 2021 #65 Share Posted February 1, 2021 A few final thoughts: Congrats to Latvia, two golds is a great thing. The depth was not there for the relay's, but Rastorgujves gets his first win since the 17/18 season. Bendika with her first International level win. Congrats to Poland, not only two golds, but they ran a great event. Norway with lots of medals, but lots of misses on the range. They are a deep team, no question, but some shooting issues. Russia similar to Norway, not as many medals, but still showed their depth. Monzanator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 920 Posted February 2, 2021 #66 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just completed watching the races Poland and Latvia jointly won the European Championship with 2 golds each. Expected Poland to win 1-2 golds from Starega but after she said she wasnt competing in the rest I thought that was it. But Zuk was great in the pursuit. Also unexpected was Latvia jointly leading the table. No host advantage for them so basically Latvia have won the Open European Biathlon Championships for the first time ever !
