I think there would be more countries competing if the Open European Championships weren’t so close to the competition days. We’d probably see the likes of Mongolia (because it’s probably the closet Biathlon center to them), Romania, Kazakhstan, etc.

But Mongolia was/is not competing in the OECH

I saw Canada's teams and tbh I don't know any of them. I am predicting 3-4 medals, all in hockey/curling
