Hates being on the inside and making less when her peer went private and is making much more, AND not having to deal with the clown show?

I figured the US would only bring 3 since there is no relay so no reason to have someone on the bench.
Sidenote, I just checked the weather for Annecy and it looks rough. No low temp for a day below freezing, and rain for Sat/Sun. 😢

That would make an interesting Single Mixed Relay team. I notice SWE never runs Martin and Hanna in the SMR.

What a jump for Malte, good for him.

Thanks. You probably said that and for some reason my brain flipped them.

I thought it was Richard's rifle that had been tinkered with. Listening to you today, it soundly like it was Richard who is accused of tinkering with a rifle. I am sure if I could read French I could probably clear up my own confusion pretty fast (alas, I am really bad at languages).

I think I got confused, now that I have listened further. I think originally you were talking about the NOR team and a rifle, then clearly mentioned Richard later (now that I have progressed a bit). But that leads me to a follow up, when I first recall you saying something in the offseason...

Sad to see her go back down, hopefully it is for reasons such as best way to get her ready for the Olympics is her to be in the IBU, hope she can be the fourth on the Olympic team.

But enough about the French team, what about the American women? Margie Free, who is only the 2nd American with WC points, and performed better on the relay, does she stay up? Is Lucie Anderson back from the FIS? (Man, I really hope they finish 17th or better so they get that 4th spot)

Thanks for diving deep on the data, really enjoy that.

Cannot believe that Richard would be dropped when she is 17th best by WC points, but also Botet has done just about everything to deserve a shot and less Simon, JR is lowest of the 6 so I understand having to make room. Reminds me off NOR men with TB last year in Annecy.

Still working my way through. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts right away about Simon. When you and RJ start discussing the incident with the rifle, you are not still talking about Simon but instead another FRA athlete, right?

Being near a good gaming group can be key to playing BT. I was lucky in finding the program MegaMek and a Discord group that runs Battletech events online. But the Lore has always been my first love when it comes to BT.

He definitely seems a crowd favorite and is so much fun to watch. Really excited to see what he can do at the Olympics. While it has still alluded him on the World Cup, his 2nd at the World Championships in the Sprint and Pursuit was 2nd to a man who is now retired, so... ;-)

Enjoying that IBU Datacenter has the isolated pursuit times, but figuring out the overall pink bib standings is a bit too much for me, any chance of getting an update on who has the pink bib?
