Johanna Skottheim similarly fast on skis as always at the beginning of the season. Maybe this time she will not completely break in towards the peak.
Stina Nilsson looks much more confident at the shooting range than before.

Hmm, not so fast.....it works on my Ipad using the Brave Browser, but not on my PC!

to watch any event on NRK, you have to wait for them to upload in the sport section (then, you don't even need a vpn).

any streaming launched from from their TV guide never work, unless you're registered to their website with a Norwegian Bank ID (which is impossible to get, unless you live there), even the basic registration (free) is not enough.

Do you happen to have the link to that quickly accessible? If not, I'll search myself

this is the link, but I just found out that on my PC it doesn't work unless I register and log in.

on the other hand, I have the NRK app on my android tv and it works without any registration/vpn...frankly, I don't understand why? and their politics...

 

p.s. don't open this link...high danger of spoiler!

Yeah, that is the secret.  You can watch live & on demand just by starting here

But not from the Direkte page.

 

Now wondering if the Norwegian National Bank Gold Reserves have the same people working for them.

Excellent, let's see how the kvinner have been doing this morning  

[Grassmarket 4,313]

That’s a very good result for  - Ukaleq Slettemark 3rd in Sjusjoen.  0 0 & only 15 secs behind.  Some PBs coming this season, I reckon.  Got an interview on Norwegian TV which naturally I could not understand, but she seemed happy.

Is anyone able to find if there are specific qualifying criteria to compete in the Open European Championships?

I can't, but we're not sure about it: they used to simply be part of the IBU Cup in a qualifying sense - if one could compete in the IBU Cup in the trimester of the OECH, the OECH were fine too. Now the question is whether or not that has been changed one or two seasons ago.

Not sure if this really answers your question.  I think the IBU treats this as the IBU Cup World Champs.  If you can qualify for an IBU Cup start, you can qualify for a OECH start.
