Wierer to medal today. Her time to shine. Darya looking good so far, but I don't trust her on current shooting form.

At least she didn`t pull an Oberhof.

Dahlmeier is always dangerous even with some misses. Kuzmina strong. Domracheva, or Mrs Bjørndalena as we sometimes jokes here in Norway, might have the day. The Norwegian skiiers don't show very clear they would have been the cross-country national team in some other countries.

She`s already over a minute behind coming to the third shooting.

 

[Eisen]

Kuzmina will still lead after the fourth if she makes one mistake.

Is that where she went for the stand rather than prone? She's had some classic moments haha!

Wierer looking good!

Yep, and the very next year she shot on the wrong targets. In Oberhof, too.
Edit: It`s called "prone" shoting? And here I type "lying" all the time.

 

[Eisen]

What the hell, Kuzmina? That could be very close.

 

[shortshorts]

Oof Kuzmina.

 

[Eisen]

No, it`s safe. Kuzmina, as usual, in tip-top shape going into the Olympics.

 

[Filppula]

How nervous was Kuzmina!! Won't matter, but that was crazy.

Darya holds her nerve! Should take silver.

Wierer what a shame.

 

[shortshorts]

Weirer in trouble. She could end up with another 4th.

 

[Eisen]

Seems like nobody wanted that Bronze but Eckhoff

 

[Filppula]

I'm so happy for Darya to get a silver medal.

Pretty successful winter family, Domracheva/Björndalen.

 

[Filppula]

Kuzmina has won individual gold in three consecutive Olympics. She's an absolute legend. What a career.

I hold their kids take after them!

Strangely, she`s mostly mediocre in the world cup.

I think this had been weirder if not for the fact she has had two kids while being an athlete. Kind of gives an explanation why she haven't racked up more victories in the World Cup. She has really focused on the really big championships.

True, but she`s in the worldcup since the middle of the 2000s and the first child came very early in her career. She missed time but she had enough time to compete still.

 

[Eisen]

Fourcade shot under 19 seconds.... 5/5

 

[Eisen]

It`s between Schempp and Fourcade. Go Schemppion!

 

[Eisen]

Lesser, Svendsen and Doll run for Bronze. Very promising regarding the relay.

 

[Eisen]

Photo finish!

 

[Eisen]

Fourcade won, same time as Schempp.

Schempp took it a lot better than I would have if I found out I missed Olympic gold by a foot.
