Shooting Efficiency comparison: First trimester 2019–20 vs. First trimester 2020–21

Following up on my last post on skiing speed, this is a comparison of overall shooting quality between trimester 1 of last season and trimester 1 this winter. Shooting Efficiency is an attempt to combine shooting accuracy and shooting time. For more details how it’s calculated, see here.

If you can’t find a specific athlete, you can always look up the complete World Cup field (also available per trimester) for the ongoing season (as well as all previous seasons) here:

2020–21 Shooting Efficiency: Men | Women

Note: Only athletes with at least 4 non-team races in trimester 1 of both the previous and the current season are included in the tables below. Shooting Efficiency is an overall shooting score, combining shooting accuracy and shooting time. It is the theoretical average time an athlete loses through shooting (based on hit rate, range time and potential penalty loops)

Men

Erik Lesser is the most improved shooter among regular starters, losing 2:06.6 min in a theoretical sprint at the range. He has always been fast, which hasn’t changed this year, however, his accuracy is currently at a career high (87.9%). Simon Eder is the best shooter overall (incredible 96.4% hit rate), also much improved over last year. Sturla Holm Lægreid isn’t far behind (1:56.2 min) – he doesn’t show up in the table, because his first World Cup race was in March. Johannes Thingnes Bø has been struggling with his shooting so far, his accuracy is down 4.2% (albeit on a very high level), plus he shoots 2.0s slower.

Women

Suvi Minkkinen is the most improved among women – she had a horrible December 2019, where she only managed to hit 66.0% of her targets. World Cup leader, Marte Olsbu Røiseland, is currently 11.9% more accurate than during trimester 1 last season. The results for Hanna Öberg (best shot overall) haven’t changed much, neither has the efficiency of Dorothea Wierer; her problems are almost exclusively skiing-related. Denise Herrmann is roughly 10s faster overall at the range (but in a sprint her 1.5% slower skiing loses her almost twice as much on the tracks).
