yes and probably

really need fourcade to be btfo on the mens side.

hope for justine get her first medal on the womens side.

Braisaz is an eternal choker. She would need all of the top chicks have at least 2 misses more than her and even then she'd need to rely on that no other athlete has an excellent day.

I honestly barely watch men's competition any more. I just can't handle the banter when it's another Fouktardwinslol episode. German commentators are such incredibly huge bandwagoners you can almost hear them jizzing in their pants whenever Fouktard wins a race.

she has the top skiing times lately so if she just shoots 10/10 she has a good chance of medal. i agree that she chokes when push comes to shove. but i think its fun to cheer for the underdog.

kek, the norwegian commentators are cucked for fourcade too. but the last race in oestursund was great seeing fourcade get btfo by two russians. and get visibly upset after missing on first shoot, kek.

>tfw used to watch all races but now miss most due to work and simply forget the ones on saturday/sunday

>Mäkäräinen
>Dorin-Habert
>Eckhoff
>Gössner
>Koukalova
>Wierer
>Charvatova
>Dahlmeier

Each one of them would crush Braisaz in the final lap. Plus some others like Vitkova or some russian chick when in good form.

makarainen and habert were only ones that had better course time than braisaz in oestersund sprint. and that was when she was skiing for 10th place. she had fourth best final lap in the 15k.

I like shooting and I like Nordic Skiing, but have somehow never taken the time to combine the two.

You'd love biathlon then. A lot of people upload the full event to YouTube in English, Russian, German, French so you can still watch if you can't get it on American cable TV.

The shooting factor adds so much excitement but the balance between the two is so important.

Alright, since it's very unlikely that Braisaz will win for real, what are you other favourites besides her?

>Dahlmeier
No holds favorite. Great form and shooting
>Habert
Very fast in ski track but sloppy shooting
>Wierer
Fantastic shooting but still too slow in ski track. Needs others to miss at least 1 in sprint to win
>Koukalova
Can compete but seemed stiff in last race. May have bad form this weekend.
>Makarainen
Obligatory mention. Very fast now but shooting form off.
>Eckhoff and the norwegians
Total disaster. Need to go back to basics on shooting.
>Outsiders
Hauser, Haecki and some east Europeans on very good shooting form but too slow in tracks.

Final for tomorrow
1. Dahlmeier
2. Habert
3. Braisaz

Your thoughts? Are any other Germans in position? Goesnner having trouble

that's a cool summary but my initial question was meant in the sense of who are you rooting for?

I personally don't like many of top favourites because they all seem pretty bitchy.
For example I can't stand Wierer, Koukalova and Dahlmeier. Rediculous special snowfalkes. They can fuck off.

So, I mainly root for Mäkäräinen and MDH but I also like some underdogs. Hauser, the Gasparins, Podshufarova, all czechs except for Koukalova, Fialkova sisters. I'm also keen on seeing more of Joanne Reid. She looks promissing.
I also look forward to see a race with Kaisa, MDH and Domracheva.

>Your thoughts? Are any other Germans in position? Goesnner having trouble

Gössner will never finish a race with less than 3 misses ever again. Maybe top 10 in within her range but that can't be her ambition.
Besides Miriam, I also like Hammerschmidt and some other lower ranked germans. The germans in the first positions are obnoxious whores.

My favourite norwegian was Solemdal. Unfortunately she didn't recover probably. Any information on her? I read somewhere she even considered quitting. Would be a real shame since she had potential and seemed like a fun person.

Dirk Thiele is retired now, but my man Sigi still standing strong!

...

...

oh ok. i like rooting for the underdogs mostly so: hauser, olsbu, braisaz.

other than that i like habert. she seems down to earth and sympathetic. also root for makarainen as the finns have such bad luck in winter sports so its nice to see they have bright spot.

kek, i agree with you that the other top women seem like bitches: wierer, eckhoff. can't take koukalova seriously with her over the top make up and jewelry. just seems ridiculous during a sporting event.

yes very sad with solemdal. they don't know what is wrong with her but she is still incapable of hard exertion. if she does not improve she will not ski again

Martin Fourcade bitch reporting in

How good are biathletes as skiing? Is it like running where steeplechasers are just failed distance runners or are they world class skiiers? Is the prestige there or would regular skiier do circles around them?

Some of the best skiers among the biathletes can keep up with the cross-country specialists. Most notably, Ole Einar Bjǿrndalen has one world cup victory in cross-country skiing.

This is really one of the most impressive sports out there. Grueling endurance contest paired with a pure skill competition.

I remember watching it on the Olympics and they had a heart rate for the athletes as they came to the shooting stations. People shooting with heart rates in the 160s and still being accurate. Incredible.

And don't underestimate the strength and balance components. Though it's an extreme endurance activity it requires a lot of explosive power. Top nordies have pretty grueling weight routines.

consider watching this
youtube.com/watch?v=1Ppg815nARM

It's my favorite winter olympic sport but I still can't be fucked to wake up early and watch some shitty stream for non olympic events

this channel has most events

youtube.com/channel/UCn9cE1ZD-5HoQlSREDEX8OA/videos

or to watch shit not live

as long as no one spoils results for me i usually dont care

I'll probably tune in today. The fact I like about this sport is, standings can change drastically during a competition.

agree. plain nordic is too boring these days because of dominance of norwegians

>.17: Eckhoff

also the xamera guy is shaking more during the fourth shooting than Ole Einer.

Yeah. Btw what happened with that Norwegian chick who got caught using?

Texas would be GOAT at this sport if only we lived in a cold-weather area.

She will be back just in time for the 2018 Olympics. Sundby is already back, kicking ass in the distance races.

I don't know if this is the same biathlon you chaps are talking about but there's so kind of biathlon competition on my TV right now and I only slightly know what's going on

What kind of projectiles do they fire out of those guns anyway

Pedro please, Americans are too poor for biathlon

birdfeed usually. sometimes for more southern climates where birdfeed is not usually available they fire used paintballs

Eternal /biathlon/ thread OP here. Can I use this thread to post the start list or should I open another one?

Chicks with guns race has begun. Paulina of the Fialkovas goes first.

Tiril Eckhoff got them all in the first shooting.

Same for MDH and LTH.

Nice. Maybe I'll move my lazy ass from bed to the sofa.

Podshufarova trough without a miss. Kaisa hits all target in the first shooting.
Tiril Eckhoff waits too long. Still she takes an extra lap. No top three for her today.

You should give it a try.

Lisa theresa Hauser takes temporarily the second place after finishing the second shooting without a miss.

She's looking good today.

Kaisa one miss. Now it's gonna be hard for her to win.

Btw german team coach is considering to replace Miriam Gössner (couldn't find a better pic) due to her oor performance on the shooting range.

It's a pitty to see Selina choking on shooting range. She was very consistant last year.

By the way: which one of the sisters is the hottest?

I'd go with the one on the right

Kaisa finished first leading by 5.6 seconds despite having one target missed.

But others still to come.

Always going for the young girls, huh? Anyway, Aita starting on position 74 btw.

>Dahlmeier first
>mfw

I had no idea who they were, but she a cute

Aita Gasparin has started. Should we take a closer look at her?

Gössner without a miss in the first attempt.

Gasparins in natura

Go on

Nooo Kaisa ;_;

Aita through! Go Loli-sister!

Watch out for Denise Hermann (92). It's gonna be funny or surprising. Eitherway, it's gonna be entertaining.

Hnngg

Fugg! Aita misses three. Probably no Pursuit for her.

Wierer starting now. Competition isn't over till she chokes in the first shooting

Denise Herrmann is a former cross skier. Her body is german as fuck. Not everybody cup of tea though.

1 miss in first shooting. Can still become interesting if she doesn't choke in the second attempt.

Wierer shooting: 1 miss.

So that means the german humpster probably won.

I like them strong thighs and ass

Denise Herrmann missed MDH's time by only 0.1 second despite having one extra lap more.

What happend to Wierer? Germna TV doesn't even bother to cover it.

>Dahlmeier interview

Wierer bad skiing today

Dorothea Wierer actually remains with only one miss and still misses the Top20.

>the track became slower

Lol, no. Less jobs and more training you lazy piece of shit. Pic related is basically everything wrong with Jobrothea Wierer.

Alright, here are the relevant results.

>1 Dahlmeier
>2 Braisaz (why did Norgebro fag out?)
>4 Kaisa
>7 Koukalova
>10 Gössner
>12 Hauser
>16 S Gasparin
>17 MDH
>18 Herrmann
>20 Eckhoff
>21 Wierer
>71 Aita Gasparin

Closing with ransom Herrmann pic.

Comfy bread bro

>mfw Fourcade Cucks Norgay once again

REEEEEEEEEEEE

>tfw when she was so close

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sorry to miss this livepost krautbro

>tfw wagecuck and have to watch delayed

>Final for tomorrow
>1. Dahlmeier
>2. Habert
>3. Braisaz

not bad t b h
braisaz +3,5 is pretty good imo.

we need a better op picture next time. my autism makes me scroll past dark pictures in the catalogue

>koukalova bto

nice

kek, the slovak tv production was amateur hour. filming some literally who when braisaz was shooting

>that file name

kek

>we need a better op picture next time. my autism makes me scroll past dark pictures in the catalogue

I know exactly what you mean. I don't have the problem with this particular pic but it the same happens to me on other occasions.

I'm not really familiar with the czech naming rules but since she married a cuck shouldn't she be Cuckalova? -888 checked!

Actually, for Braisaz tomorrow will be THE chance to win. Dahlmeier, Kaisa and Gabs will be keen on winning. They gonna take the risky way and in that case it would be probably enough for Braisaz to remain without a miss to win.
I don't believe it though.

kek, wait what's the deal with her husband?

yes tomorrow will be very exciting. really want dahlmeier to get btfo now

I don't know. He looks like a faggot to me. Who else would want to show his wife off like this?

It's like he wanted to say: Haha, would a gay man touch a woman? See I'm not gay.

For what purpose?
This looks just extremely weird to me.

lol, what a cuck, whoring his wife out like that.

>press conference from today

youtube.com/watch?v=RKkbQSK4dNA

I would never think that Dahlmeier speaks english better than german.

Is the interviewer german? He has a german accent.

How the fuck do they keep track of who missed how many targets and making sure they do their penalty loop? Especially when you can take any lane you want and there can be 20 of you shooting at a time

Bump

Will she get her first win today?

Digitalized

Anyone watching the pursuit?

Martin "GOAT" Fourcade

Not the men's pursuit. Hope Fourcade loses. To whom? Doesn't matter.

I hate this faggot. I already hated Poiree but Fourcade is true cancer compared to him.

Anyone will be watching women's pursuit? Starts in about 10 minutes.

Braisaz will be the first hunter trying to catch German hampster Laura Dahlmeier.

Go Kaisa

German commentator makes suggestive jokes. I like it but the quality has to improve.

Meanwhile he also mentioned 3 ladies wont start today.

Fuck yes!

Go Juju!

The ladies not starting are

Tofalvi ROM
Yorkevich BL
Hoegberg SWE

This shouldn't affect the outcome.

First shooting.! Let's hope for Dahlmeier to choke

Dahlmeier through, same as Olsbo and Kaisa.

Braisaz takes and extra lap. So does Gössner.

If only Laukkanen could into hitting targets.

>The city of choke

>adjusting your sights after no misses and missing 2
>the concentration camp of Germany

Dahlmeier 2 misses, Koukalova even 3.

Olsbo and Kaisa through but still two standing shootingdrd to come.
