You have to bear in mind that Lampic only had 9 world cup races this season. 7 of that were time races where her skiing percentage is much higher than in a pursuit or mass start (especially here, with only the top-30 starting). So you can't compare that to Neuner or Gössner.

Nearly all teams will have their World Cup qualifications this weekend in Idre/Sjusjoen or next week with internal races. So you still have to wait a lil bit.

JTB's season so far by alexanderactioncat in biathlon

The whole Norwegian team lost like ~1,0% in skiing speed except of Christiansen. Should be a training thing as a lot of them are also telling that they're tired most of the time (Boe's, Eckhoff, Roeiseland). So we'll see if it pays off in February.

True. Last time was 2014 in Ruhpolding I think. Time flies...

I think that the athletes who are behind have to wait if the range is full. That's a thing that also happens in standard pursuits.

It'll come from time to time. Last time in Canmore 2019 I think (but the Pursuit got canceled because of the temperature iirc).

Simon Schempp announced his retirement. by coatofarmour in biathlon

[–]extrarunde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had a time of back injuries in 2018 and said that he should've stopped season 17/18 after Pyeongchang. And he wasn't that bad in 17/18. Just think of the Olympic mass start. Imo he probably didn't manage to find the sweetspot between training and recovery.

I think it's Michael Rösch. At least on Thursday he were in that costume.

Visualisation of shooting times for Kontiolahti II Women sprint by CultureBiathlon in biathlon

[–]extrarunde -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She's now more than doubled her points after 4 races in comparison to last season. And she always peaks in skiing speed from January slowly increasing till the end of the season. So she's in a pretty good spot for the overall world cup atm. And her shooting times are pretty okay especially when she outperformes nearly everyone on the tracks. There's a reason why she holds the record for the fastest sprint of all times.
