Never tried a biathlon competition anyway even at junior level. Would not want her to leave XC but by this result it looks like she is more of à talent in both skiing and shooting than Stina Nilsson I know this time of year not everyone will be close to being at the same level of fitness, but still, Karlsson coming in and doing this even for an exhibition race isn't much of a great sign for biathlon If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

But she managed to beat Maja Dahlqvist (who may not be the best individual distansen racer) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, it gives a definite 4 year plan for three of this group really move to the forefront. It will be interesting to see if they will keep the 5 slots after this season with both Windisch and Bormolini out.
