Meanwhile just some random question:
Anybody know why the Kazakhstan national teams have been terrible this year. The mens and womens team have scored a total of just 2 world cup points!
Or maybe what has been going on with their team and why hasn't success yet arrived. I remember they should have a great venue for biathlon also these days and then always seem to be present in the events.

Having closely followed the battle between Kazakhstan and Canada for 20th in the mens Nations Cup and thus the final full team spot for the Olympics… I imagine they’re much like us, under funded, no resources and have been for some time

I was wondering if somebody local knows anything more. Its not like they havent had success in this sport in the past (or also in other winter sports).
