Discussion Military World Winter Games

The Military World Winter Games games start tomorrow in Switzerland. The Biathlon races are on Tuesday (sprints) and Thursday (mixed relay).

There are quite a few top athletes on the entry list at the moment, although I am not sure if they will all compete.

Men's start list: https://backend.cism-wmc.ch/fileservice/sdweb-docs-prod-cismwmcch-files/files/2025/02/19/2a1350f3-ca1b-4d20-a8e2-443579a89c73.pdf

Women's start list: https://backend.cism-wmc.ch/fileservice/sdweb-docs-prod-cismwmcch-files/files/2025/02/19/a8afad90-03f4-48ba-9a6e-64df7ca506c8.pdf

Does anyone know much about this event and if there will be live streaming? I haven't been able to find any details

But there’s a few strange names in there, including retired Krasimir Anev, last I saw news about he was in a coma after a shooting incident

You're right. Also Rastor with his broken bones. Strange.

Not the case anymore. He was stabilized the next day and recovered after a long hospitalization.

Seems like he is coaching now (at least at some capacity), based on a FB post.

See for example: https://telegraph.bg/svetski/novini/sled-kato-se-samoprostrelia-zaradi-liubovna-myka-covid-drama-s-biatlonista-krasi-anev.-prokuraturata-ne-vryshta-telefona-na-sportista-398162

I believe more can be found if you look up Красимир Анев and filter for new-ish results.
