The races in Idre and Sjusjeon are always funs ones to watch to wet the appetite for the upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,536 Posted November 3, 2022 #185 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Tiril Eckhoff has to take another break: "I don't know when she'll be back", says national team doctor Aasne Fenne Hoksrud. She has gone through a tough period and is unlikely to be seen in the World Cup until next year.

RobtheAggie 337 Posted November 5, 2022 #186 Share Posted November 5, 2022 You could kind of see this coming if you had paid attention to her social media platforms. She has not been near as active this year as in the past. I hope that whatever is the issue, she will be able to recover, and if she wishes, return to competition. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,536 Posted November 5, 2022 #187 Share Posted November 5, 2022 with the Russians and the Belarussians out and Norway without their 2 "big names", this season the women's races will be very poor. it might be a Swedish fest (with just a couple of contenders every once in a while, like Wierer, Hermann and the French girls).

RobtheAggie 337 Posted November 7, 2022 #189 Share Posted November 7, 2022 So Sjusjøen is back on the schedule. "In collaboration with the Norwegian Ski Association, the Olympic Park and Ringsaker Almenning, we have decided that the best thing is to organize the start of the season at Natrudstilen as originally planned. There will be short runs in both places, and equally tough conditions. This solution takes the total into account the most, says general secretary Morten Djupvik of the Norwegian Biathlon Union in a press release. Challenges with snow production led to the start of the season being moved to the Birkebeiner Ski Stadium in Lillehammer, but on Sunday the counter-notification came that it will still start at Sjusjøen as normal. https://www.nrk.no/sport/1.16167939" The French team has arrived in Sweden, the Czech team in Norway to participate.
