Biathlon fan and commentary. Now host of the Penalty Loop Podcast with RJ Weise of @biathlonanalyt1.
🇸🇪 Hate to see Anna-Karin Heijdenberg out sick for Idre. And now Johanna Skottheim too. Might make coaches selection for the World Cup a little easier but a major bummer for both of them and us fans!

🇳🇴 I wouldn’t say that this is an encouraging update from Ida Lien. Similar issue as to what disrupted Marketa Davidova’s season last year and for what Emilien Claude had surgery for earlier this summer

🇵🇱 The Polish Olympic committee had a presentation for their Olympic threads today. Mostly about their opening ceremony/podium ceremony outfits. They did have this video and I don’t know if it was just a hype video or their actual competition uniforms

🇧🇪 Not exactly the race uniforms but Maya Cloetens gave us a preview of the Olympic uniforms for Team Belgium. Maybe a preview of the racing kits?

I think too about Justine Braisaz-Bouchet. The abuse and harsh words she unfairly received these last years had to have affected her and her family. JBB's kind personality, her warm aura, is so imminently relatable. Hopefully this brings some closure and serenity for her

This is a hard day for me. Watching Julia Simon at her peak is as exciting as biathlon gets. Her swashbuckling swagger is pure thrilling drama. Her electric bursts on the tracks and blazing shooting are everything we want in a biathlon race

This is the section in the screenshot below that deals with restrictions in who can own and possess firearms and ammunition. Included on the lengthy list is the crime of theft of which Julia Simon did plead guilty today.

🇸🇮 2x Youth World🥇Alex Cisar finally makes it official that he’s officially retired. Had a chance to chat with Alex over the years and he was always very clear that his goal was to become an airline pilot and I’m so happy for him! Hope to have him as my pilot some day!
