Never ever ever heard of the guy, not even in any kind of support role for the IBU Cup/Junior team a few years ago.

OK, so now this source is talking about Anders Byström as the new Sweden manager.  He previously was skidskyttelandslagets, I have no idea what that is, but it sounds cool. :)

Skidskyttelandslagets translates to "biathlon national team". Byström comes from the Norwegian national cross-country team, though he has worked for the Swedish national biathlon team before as a coordinator. 

 

The Swedish national biathlon team has reconstructed its organisation. They did not have a national team manager before, which Anders Byström has been appointed to. The new head coach, as you have written, is Johannes Lukas. 

According to Secretary General, Ingemar Arwidson -  "The National Team Manager is a new role that we now establish. The idea is that Anders will be responsible for a leading and coordinating role for the A-, Development and Youth teams in order to maximize our resources. He will also be responsible for the national team selection and long-term planning. Anders is a really good leader and I am happy to bring him to the team". 

 

National Team Manager      Anders Byström

Head Coach A-team           Johannes Lukas

Coach A-team                     Mattias Nilsson

Shooting Coach                  Johan Hagström

Coaches for Youth/Development team              Jonas Johansson

So Mattias Nilsson has moved up as well?

Last season he was "responsible for logistics and federation coach". The logistic part will be Byström's responsibility now, so Nilsson can focus on coaching. Nilsson will replace Lukas as coach for the A-team, as Lukas has been promoted to head coach for the A-team.

Interesting news here:

Anton Shipulin has announced that he was offered illegal stimulants.  According to him, he turned it down.

 

Ekaterina Ivanovna Glazyrina supposedly owes the IBU money from events that she won money in, but was DQ for them.  She has not returned the money yet.

Meanwhile it's starting to look less and less likely Brazil will have any sort of significant presence next (European) season. The focus will most likely be mostly or entirely on cross-country skiing.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
