The 2013-2014 season of biathlon finished, so it is the time to draw a balance sheet total of the'' winter just ended. However, instead of a long and tedious pomposity about what happened, we decided to pay homage to the camaraderie of the sport with a summary unconventional.

We chose an athlete / technical / theme for each of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet'', including those not used in the Italian language, explaining how and why the character in question deserves to be celebrated, or should be blamed. The mixing all seriousness and jokes. It remains for the reader to choose which of the two aspects privilege.
A for Anastasiya Kuzmina
B FOR BERGMAN CARL JOHANTra editors NeveItalia is became a cult figure as suddenly and inexplicably elected pupil of Max Ambesi that, since the mid November we had announced his great season, making even a fixed point of his team's Fantabiathlon. Over the months, the confidence of Max remained unshaken. Who writes and Gianlugi Ferrario have secretly passed all the Olympic Games to "gufare" the Scandinavian thirty-six, he won a medal in terror and Ambesi we did pay with the interests of all the times in which we asked maliciously "But Bergman's how it went today? ". Eventually Max was right, because Kontiolahti between Oslo and Bergman missed the penny to make the euro'', but has seriously threatened to win a couple of races. Hello CJ, we will miss a lot of the'' next year.
C FOR FIVE, THE NUMBER OF MALTEMPOCinque races are postponed or canceled due to weather-related problems (in Ostersund'' s individual female and both pursuits, the women's relay in Anterselva, Sochi in the men's mass start). There are five references in the starting line of the Olympic Games first of its operation. In other words quests'' year occurred more trouble with the weather than there have been in the previous decade. The 5 then it is imposed even more number as inauspicious because in the biathlon is always being the worst result achieved at the shooting range.
D FOR DARYA DOMRACHEVATanti years ago had jumped to the headlines as unconventional character for shooting standing rather than grounded to second polygon of mass start in Oberhof in 2009, something never seen before. In season occasionally threw away the victories and valuable points in the race for Crystal Ball with disasters polygons feet. However Sochi hit 66 targets out of 70 and won 3 races out of four, making it the first woman to win three Olympic gold medals individual. That beard, what a bore, what a bore, what a bore. If Russia had at least the wrong way in a competition or had done some other mess would become a legend. Instead, it is entry only in history because Darya is the clumsy- remained confined to the races of the World Cup.
AND EMIL Hegle SVENDESEN "Point all on the Olympic Games" is went repeating for months. Probably meant those in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Fact eyewitnesses belonging to Frassinoro Biathlon Friends have revealed that in the infamous night between 6 and 7 March the twenty-eight of Trondheim, in addition to deflate the tires of cars and buses, it is dedicated to the training of road in the shot put using the cobblestones. Unfortunately you do not know the measurements of the launches, but London 2012 Norway had no writing in this specialty then the internal competition should be reduced to the brothers Bø, in turn allenatisi profitably in the Pokljuka.
F to Martin Fourcade
G GRAF FOR FLORIANA September was well behaved during the national championships on roller skis, so they seem destined to follow in the footsteps of contemporary Erik Lesser and to finally explode in the maximum circuit. Instead, the'' winter was an absolute disaster and is finished competing in Ibu Cup season passes for the retort, it can happen to anyone, but c'' is just one thing that no one can forgive, or the fact that he never pointed a loaded rifle in his face on live TV as the'' last year. Unfortunately, it is likely to have to rely on Rivere this thrill Daffy Duck in cartoons Warner Bros.
H for Lukas Hofer
The IOURIEVA FOR EKATERINADopo 2 year ban for a positive all'' Epo and 3 years of nothing in the maximum circuit, suddenly returns and competitive returns in the top ten. Surprise surprise, three weeks time and found positive'' s Epo. Even Venticello'' s registry Bertarelli Franco, played by the late Franco Lechner, grew so uncover quickly by'' Inspector Nico Giraldi (Tomas Milian) in his goffissimi of scam attempts.
J FOR JOHANNES THINGNES BOC'' is just one more thing impressive of its impact in the maximum circuit, or its blatant similarity with Richie Cunningham of Happy Days TV series (look for yourself), which will eventually fail to become a successful writer. Johannes began decidedly better than its television counterpart. In this regard, c'' is bad news for Tarjei. In the TV series Chuck Cunningham, Richie's older brother, soon becomes a secondary character ...
K for Kaisa Mäkäräinen
L FOR LENA NEUNER
M for Malyshko Dmitry
N Nora
Or for Ole Einar Bjoerndalen
P for Passport
Q Forty-five percent
R for Rybar Ondrej
S for Soukalova Gabriela
T for Tiril Eckhoff
U FOR 16 years as UWE MÃœSSIGGANGDopo high poppy German biathlon, finally retiring because his managerial myopia gave two Olympic gold medals in relay Russia (Torino 2006 and Vancouver 2010 above) and a crystal ball to Helena Ekholm (2009). '' The objection is who also collected many successes. True, but lying to manage over the years four of the six most biathletes strongest of all time also honors Topo Gigio would have a very rich.
V for Vilukhina Olga
W for Wierer Dorothea
X for the XXII Olympic Winter Games
Y FOR ... Seriously, what is the Y, apart from the Autobianchi Y10'' of which he remembers in particular one spot with Ruud Gullit protagonist? Not finding anything relevant to the topic let free. If this list is forgot something, or is there'' your favorite / to, you can safely appaltargli this space.
Z FOR NADEZHDA SKARDINOSi call Nadezhda Skardino, but it reads Zero. This Belarusian girl at some point is seemed a sort of cross between Robocop and Terminator, taking the best of both. Between the sprint from Le Grand Bornand and the'' pursuit of Sochi has created a series of 22 consecutive clean polygons, something never seen in the history of biathlon. Also in the race'' between January 8 and March 6 hit 166 targets out of 170, 97.6% alias making me doubt that the spirit of Annie Oakley had taken possession of her.
P.S. In the title, we spoke of "report cards". Have you seen some votes? Even the title was half-seriously!
