About Us

Jordan Gottschalk from Penalty Loop and RJ Weise from Biathlon Analytics break down the world of biathlon, focusing primarily on the IBU World Cup, but touching on a few other important areas as well. In the summer months we interview athletes, coaches and other people related to biathlon, with a main focus on understanding life of an athlete, coach, etc. in the IBU World.

All this with a little structure, but mostly our own unique spin based on the history and data of biathlon.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy it! If there is anything in particular you would like us to talk about or you have any help critiques we would love to hear it on social media (Jordan on Twitter - Jordan on Instagram - RJ on Twitter - RJ on Instagram.

Wednesday Feb 02, 2022

Welcome to the Penalty Loop Podcast with Jordan Gottschalk and regular weekly guest RJ Weise. In this episode we'll start off by introducing ourselves and what you can expect from this podcast going forward. We'll move on to a brief overview of the IBU World Cup season to date (9:55), we'll check out the Power Rankings (31:00), an Under the Radar athlete or two (43:50) and some Up and Coming Biathletes (48:15). We then discuss our Topics of the Week (56:00) where we discuss what we know about the Olympic venue we'll be seeing over the next two weeks as well as a brief touch on wax prep. Finally we finish up with a discussion, the Stat of the Week (1:07:15) which this week is about how we measure and discuss ski speed.
