European Biathlon #4

Hi again,
Short note: The start list for tomorrow’s races are posted:

In the Open European Champs [seniors] in Poland again 6 US Men and 2 US Women will ski the Sprint races. #12 will be Paul Schommer, Wisc and #106 will be Jakob Ellingson, MN. There are 125 starters!! The rest of the Mens team consists of Russell Currier, Alex Howe, Max Durtschi, and Mike Gibson.

In the Women’s field there are 2 from the US, Emily Driessengacker and Hanna Grossman.

No one from the US is participating in the Single Mixed relay of the IBU Jr Cup. In the Mixed Relay, however, we have a full team from MN. All the athletes have moved now from Munich down to Slovenia at Pokljuka. The start order for the US Team tomorrow will be Amanda Kautzer, Siena Ellingson, Vasek Cervenka and Cam Christiansen. Wish them success!!

The races are scheduled early in our local time; The OECh races are 3:00 am for the Mens and 6:30 for the Womens. these will likely be available online for replay later in the day.

For the IBU Jr Cup, the mixed relay will be at 6:00 am CST. I don’t think it will be streamed, but not sure. If not, the running data will likely be available on the IBU webpage under Data Center.

More later…
