Maybe this will lead to a podcast special feature… pastries and cakes local to each World Cup biathlon venue 🤔

Send word to Oslo that they’ll need to order in more cinnamon for March next year 😁

Happy Cinnamon Bun Day to all who celebrate! 🇫🇮 🇸🇪

It’s a small change but it rewards people who have come into form maybe later in the season or after an injury. And it should mean more people getting the chance to go elbow-to-elbow in the Mass Start!

Biathlon World Cup season is just under two months away… and we have a rule change!!! Mass Start races have recently featured the Top 25 in the World Cup standings plus 5 best performers from the weekend programme. Now it’ll be Top 20 from the World Cup plus 10 weekend stars.

If there’s anything you’d like to hear about, let me know! And equally if you have a fun story about a place on the biathlon World Cup circuit, or a cool bit of history, get in touch! Check out past episodes at SkiShootRepeat.com for inspiration 😁😍😁

Regular listeners will know that the digressions take up as much time as the sport in a Ski Shoot Repeat episode. Expect history, geography, myths and legends, recipes, seemingly random stories, philosophy, my attempts at science and a lot of mascot chat.

On the flipside, the season is fast approaching which means getting back into podcast mode!! I’ll have a pre World Cup episode which is usually a reminder of how biathlon works, before diving into the weekly episodes as the season starts.

The not-that-surprising news has come through that Emilien Jacquelin won’t be competing in biathlon this winter, focusing instead on cycling. Totally understand his reasons, but I’m just gonna miss him…

Some biathlon / cycling crossover content, courtesy of @timbonvilleginn.bsky.social Emilien finding a new contentment 😀😀😀

We played with 4 and that was great. Not sure if it would be as fun with 2 players, though you could double up on characters or do a Single Mixed Relay 😀

Ski Shoot Repeat @skishootrepeat.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Feels like it would help to read the character bios a bit so you know their strengths - one of ours had a combo of speed and accuracy that we couldn’t figure out how to beat. So if you’re at the back, it’s very hard to catch up! Definitely fun and light hearted. Cool art, sustainable materials

Not seen Flamme Rouge but I’ll have a look! Biathlon Blast was fun - beautiful design, very satisfying to set everything up. It looks like it’s a simple kids game but there’s more going on. It’s about hand management of cards, some you re-use, some you burn. 3/4 of us held on to our cards too long

Ski Shoot Repeat @skishootrepeat.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

He was sooooo good last season, especially post-Olympics… but I love that he can pursue his passion for cycling. Who’s going to be our new maverick though??!

Ski Shoot Repeat @skishootrepeat.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Awesome work! Emilien burned all his matches leading the group back together and launching a teammate into the sprint. The commentators were a bit surprised that he was still hanging in there, but they don’t know him like we do 😉

Ski Shoot Repeat @skishootrepeat.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Emilien update: he’s on the front group of about 25 riders!!! There’s a solo leader with a 13 second lead, 5km to go. Jacquelin looked like he was dropped on an uphill but has come back! I am so invested in this right now! Come on, Emilien!!!!

210

Ski Shoot Repeat @skishootrepeat.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

He’s upright!! Doing a team job, and hanging in there…

From yesterday: our very own Emilien Jacquelin leading the peloton at the Tour du Limousin… So awesome to see him fulfilling a longstanding dream. Don’t get too hooked on it, Emilien - we want you back on the snow!!!

Researching for future podcast episodes and I keep typing “sporks” instead of “sports”. This is what offseason training is for, people… (Either that or I’m starting a weird cutlery podcast on a few months…)

A new entry in the Mascot Charts: Luigi, mascot of European Gymnastics…

It’s subtle but I love Birkenthals for the 6-7 when he crosses the line (in 6th or 7th)… (5th across the line in this clip!)

Ski Shoot Repeat @skishootrepeat.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

You absolutely have to train for this sort of thing…

Julia Simon quote from Blink Festival: ‘it’s easy to shoot in training, but when you put a bib on, it’s not so easy!’ 🤩

Blink Festival is like a summer jamboree of urban cross country skiing and biathlon on the streets of Sandnes (SW Norway). Sandnes looks like it has The Best Skate Park ever! Seriously! It’s like an Olympic stadium!

Just caught the end of the Men’s Final at the Blink Festival - an unexpected winner, perhaps!! @penaltyloop.bsky.social is doing the in-depth updates!!

Tour de France Femmes is just turning up the heat every single day. Honestly thought nothing would top Kasia on Mont Ventoux but the run-in to Nice today was just incredible. Gifs aren’t working for me today but if they were, you’d be seeing Godzilla vs Kong in a Massive Fight!!!

Ski Shoot Repeat @skishootrepeat.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I was worried Kasia had gone too early, but she was MASSIVE today! Just incredible!! 😁🤩😭😍

Brace yourself because this will hurt: 7.5km 27 hairpins Average gradient 10% My muscles are screaming at me just for typing that stuff…

Thanks for this - and the Logan Moore backstory. Is Eric related to Luci?

Damage and dirt from a mudslide at Antholz biathlon arena… (Sounds like it was empty at the time, but that other communities had a close call. Hope everyone is safe and well.)

Catching up on Men’s Gymnastics from the Commonwealth Games and this unexpected drop-in was a delightful moment in live television… Followed by Laura, the presenter, confessing that mascots freak her out…

He’s just messing with us now… Ben in the breakaway again, this time with teammates! 120km to go and only a minute on the peloton so I’m now getting *too* excited…

Ok, not today but TOM PIDCOCK making podium and GC moves!!

Wave a box for the TV cameras so we can try and spot you! (Or make a biathlon themed sign, just to confuse everyone!!)

Amazing!! Are you out on the course or watching comfortably from home?

Today is the day, I can feel it! Ben is in the breakaway, but so are 56 others (yes, 56…). 86km and a chonky mountain to go!
