I cant believe how Iourieva can miss 4 out of 10 shots standing , this just cant be true and add to that she gave up 2 places after the last shooting otherwise still would make the top 7 . - 1.05 units but this really blows . Going to find bets for men race now .

My pick isHalvard Hanevold (NOR) to finish ahead
Odds : 1.75
Where : betandwin
2.85 units to win 2.15 units
Fading Ali Wolf here , he seems to be ill and it showed yesterday as he made 4 errors and was 25 seconds slower than Hanevold . Hanevold is an experienced guy and I think he can finish well today or atleast ahead of handicapped Wolf .
regarding hockey..my top play is in swiss Bern at Biel: i got it from a local @ -0.5 1.75 and on offshores it s about 1.60 or hdc -1 at even, but i really like it.
have a look at the standings and recent form..this should be at least a 2 goal victory for Bern
i find the men s race tough today especially with pinny not offering much.
right now i like
Stephan over Furcade @ 1.79 Fourcade not in particular good form right now and Stephan could be fired up byyesterday s result..i think similar shooting is enough here for a win.
i am leaning Iaroschenko over Bjornd. @2.24 and Svendson over Bjornd @1.78
both are basically plays against Bjornd, but not sure what s the better matchup..probably Iaroschenko...Norwegains had a real bad performance yesterday overall and even the relay was not really good...maybe they dont like oberhof or their team is a particular stage of training where they are not good in the moment...
i think a Norway fade is a good idea here to look at for matchups.
How do you like Roesch over Sikora as a big dog @2.70 ??
I like Bjorndalen fade here , he looked out of form in both races , many misses in both relay and yesterday as well . I think best bet would be to take Sikora , Svendsen , Iarochenko and Tchoudov all against Bjorndalen as single bets and then throw a unit or two on Bjorndalen to win it all at 7.00 odds to cover up in case he really wins but I doubt it .
Tough last shooting luck today , first Iourieva missed 4 out of 10 shots and now this ...
Next week again , hopefully I can avoid those tough h2hs , will rather stick to betting on not top 5 guys when they are against each other .
This is getting tougher and tougher to predict ... yesterday Sumann was 40th with no error and like 2 minutes behind and today that win ? CRAZY
