All period:
+44 7834 499830; 19 Jan - 04 Mar +49 8663 419800.

We
apologise for any inconvenience, although remind you that
LIVE
results (and PDFs) are available for all WC & IBU Cup races on the
IBU Website.
As
always, there are several ways to navigate into the
LIVE
section. Click on "EVENT" in the top tool
bar or the actual race venue in the right hand box; either way you
will then spot another link to
LIVE,
usually at the top of the new page. There should
also be
"LIVE Video Streaming"
of all WC Races.
Eurosport (UK) does not always have World Cups
Live;
check out the
UK TV schedule.
For our lucky viewers in Europe check the
European TV Schedule. The detailed race by race schedules are
shown on our
World Cup and
IBU Cup pages. |

44 DAYS TO
THE GAMES
The
GBR Men's Olympic Biathlon Team will be announced by the BOA on
approx 24 Jan 10 - although possibly one week earlier.
Oberhof (WC 4) and Ruhpolding GER (WC
5) are the final Olympic qualifying events for the one man who
will represent GBR at The Games. Lee-Steve JACKSON currently has eight Olympic
Qualifying Standards (OQS)
and Kevin KANE four.
Martin
GLAGOW is the GBR Olympic Wax Technician, and the Team Manager is
SSgt Jason SKLENAR 28 Engr Regt.
As
announced here before Christmas there will be no GBR women's
Biathlon Team in Vancouver, thus depriving Adele WALKER the chance
of a unique family double as her husband BBU Assistant Coach Marc
WALKER had been hoping to qualify for the GBR Cross-Country team.
Alas, it has proved to be "A Games Too Far" for them both.

BRITISH
CHAMPIONSHIPS PROGRAMME
Keen readers will have noted that the times of several races in
the first week of the British Champs (Ex Rucksack) had been shown
as "tbn". These have now been confirmed and are shown in red, as
are a couple of other minor amendments, on the updated
British Champs Programme. |
