Ruhpolding 2024-2025 Preview

With one week of racing under our belts in trimester #2 we head to Ruhpolding for another week. It’s a bit of a relic of the Cold War that Germany continues to host two events every year as Oberhof (East Germany) and Ruhpolding (West Germany) were the respective stops of the Central European nation preContinue reading “Ruhpolding 2024-2025 Preview”

Italy 2024-2025 Team Preview

If you ask somebody to rank the top five nations in biathlon today, the rankings will usually go something like: Norway, France, Germany, Sweden, and Italy. The top three are almost always the top three, and then Italy comes in fourth or fifth. Sound about right? Interesting because of the last 10 Overall titles noContinue reading “Italy 2024-2025 Team Preview”

Summer Biathlon 2024 Part 3

The final day of August and the first day of September saw the highest concentration of major biathlon action that we’ll have all all summer long.

Ciao bella! I donโ€™t know why but every time I start talking about the Italian team I always want to start out that way. To my knowledge I havenโ€™t ever done it yet so now I have.

2022-2023 Women’s Rookies of the Year

The 2022-2023 season was another great season for rookies joining the World Cup level. The women especially had a ton of athletes come up and have success immediately. I had to keep double checking to make sure these women fit my qualifications for “rookie” because there were so many. I even moved Lou Jeanmonnot andContinue reading “2022-2023 Women’s Rookies of the Year”

Okay fine, we’re just a couple of days away from starting the 3rd trimester of the season in Novรฉ Mฤ›sto…I really need to let the World Championships go. But I can’t yet! So just one more look back! Super Sprints – There are a handful of things I wanted to mention that I don’t thinkContinue reading “Oberhof World Championships Review Partย 2”

Breakthrough Seasons

It’s time for one my favorite exercises of the first trimester…celebrating biathletes in the midst of breakthrough seasons! There is almost nothing in biathlon that I love more than watching athletes reach new levels of success. Sometimes it is finally reaching potential that was seen in Juniors/IBU Cup. Sometimes it is the result of puttingContinue reading “Breakthrough Seasons”
