- French men’s final spot competition: Lombardot in 28th makes the A Mass Start. Paturel 42nd. Guigonnat 49th
- QFM started in bib 134. That’s just a crazy number of athletes. Wonder what it was like for him starting that late?

- Botn hitting 10/10! Always been the case if he is perfect he’s tough to match. Just doesn’t happen all that regularly.
- Frey 10/10 and nearly best Botn is a scary thought for everybody.
- Perrot 10/10, not in peak form, and an easy 3rd. Is he the men’s favorite?

- We haven’t seen Tandrevold look good all summer. I was willing to write it off to summer racing but should we start to get nervous now? A year ago she won both races so she can get up for these competitions. Maybe a different strategy this year? All in on Olympics?

-Not much clarity in rounding out the Norwegian roster yet. Øygard with a second place could lock up a spot tomorrow. I would say the rest is firmly up in the air.

-Knotten hit her shots but +31 and blown off the course by Doro. She’s qualified so it doesn’t really matter until Östersund and she looked good all summer. But big pressure after her split from the national team

- Lotte Lie is looking the best she ever has. The win in Dresden. Finals at Loop One. Podium today. She’s primed for a career year it feels
- Anastasiya Kuzmina is 41. She finished 5th today. Wild
#biathlon

-Can’t necessarily blame German skis because the men looked okay I thought
-Regina Ermits a very nice 10th
-Hettich-Walz 6/10 🫣. Won’t see that often. Nerves?
-Fichtner has a solid summer. Nice to see her back it up in 6th!
#biathlon

-Linn’s skiing looked solid. Ski time was very close to Vittozzi’s
-Speaking of Lisa, 4th was solid. Same shooting as Elvira and 29.5 sec back. Classic Swedes starting strong. No worries for Lisa’s form
-German skiing was not where we might hope. Grotian 9/10 and +1:43?
#biathlon

- Kaiser in 3rd also well on his way to the WC. Perfect shooting was nice to see. Only done that 3 times on any IBU level race
- Pleased to see Pfund confirm his summer performances. 11 sec back of Nawrath with same 9/10 shooting
#biathlon

- Chaveau definitively the fastest amongst the top contenders for the open spots today. 2 misses and only +30
- Voldiya 8/10 and +1:40 probably means IBU Cup to start the year barring something different later this week
- Fany Bertrand firmly in the competition!
