What a great last loop. Kudos to Pidrushna, she had a great last 2000 meters. Surprising that Wierer lost touch with the pack on that last loop. Dahlmeier, Dorin Habert, and Koukalova are all missed. May we have a full season this year with full stadiums. Women's biathlon is great. Thanks for the video.
Great job, like the Eurosport commentators better than the Germans and playback speed and quality was great. Kudos to Hildebrand and Hammerschmidt who built the foundations of the German win. If Dahlmeier is in the lead after the last shoot, well you've lost.
Eurosport - Patrick Winterton (main) and Mike Dixon (expert). Yes, both are very good, aren't they? Mike Dixon's son is a World Cup biathlete for Great Britain and Winterton was a World Cup XC skier in the 80's.
Ukraina jak zwykle mocna w sztafecie, ale srebro z Warwyniec i Merkuszyną, które człapią na trasie jest sensacją. Bez wątpienia pogoda odegrała dużą role i Czeszki, czy Włoszki miały dużo gorsze narty od Ukrainek, ale tak czy siak jestem w lekkim szoku po tym, co zobaczyłem. Rosjanki miały szanse, ale Akimova się wywaliła na początku swojej zmiany, przez co straciła nie tylko kontakt z czołówką, ale też zawaliła 1 strzelanie. Norweżki fatalnie i nie ma co nawet komentować tego blamażu, jakby nie było obrończyń tytułu z Oslo. Coś muszą tam zrobić z tymi biathlonistkami, bo tradycje mają, pieniądze też, a wyników brak.
Again this commentator making mistakes. The German team don't usually win against the French because they're faster on skis (they're not) but because the French girls are losing time on the RANGE! It's not that hard too see ^^ Anyway, congratulations to all the medalists for a great and entertaining race ;)
Based on the 3 Relays before this one, the remark is not really a mistake, because the germans were in 2 out of 3 infact faster on pure course time then the french.
Lina Desbois I know but the commentator did most likely not have the individual course times of everyone, so based on the races before and that Germany had more reloads, it was a logical conclusion. Especially if he didn't think about Hildebrand dying on her last loop because she alone lost 24,1 seconds there compared to Braisaz.
I agree in a way but even without saying and knowing that the french were actually faster on the track, it was quite obvious that Aymonier and Braisaz lost a LOT of time on the range. I'm not even saying that they would've won if they hadn't just that it's clear that they "probably" lost the title on the shooting range.
