Can’t believe @brunamoura didn’t make the list. I can’t think of a bigger biathlon star (at least on the forum)...

That's kind of you ?

But I can imagine that my name isn't there for two reasons:

1- no World Cups for me yet;

2- my federation didn't take my name off IBU's system yet so, for IBU, I am still an active athlete. CBDN wants me to do some races for them next season even if my focus is on cross country from now on because every start of mine will give them money and equipments from IBU. First they put only one stage in my schedule (Orsblie), as I don't want to do Biathlon next season for "x" reasons, we were negotiation to remove it (maybe I would have no choice, otherwise they wouldn't support me for the cross country season) but a few days later they also added the Open Europeu in my schedule! I already said that I am not going to start, but still they didn't remove it. There will be a meeting at CBDN next week to talk about the next season and its needed changes due to coronavirus and after that someone will call me so we can talk about my schedule.

A bit of a suprise to see Torstein Stenersen is no longer part of the A-National Team. Not that he produced any great results in the WC last season. But leaving him out of the team entirely, comes as a suprise to me.

Apparently, Wikipedia has him in the retired section, so perhaps that's why :p

 

Although an article I've google translated from Swedish just said that he's kicked from the A team and nothing about his retirement.

I can only find this about him.

https://www.svt.se/sport/skidskytte/torstein-stenersen-petadurlandslaget

Nothing about him retiring from biathlon. 

 

Also, was this the article you found @Werloc?

Yup, that's why I'm not particularly trusting Wikipedia, unless Stenersen himself updated that page :p

 I have checked his Instagram and he hasn't posted anything about his retirement. I have no idea why his Wiki says something about retirement? :d

Perhaps random people determine being kicked from the A team at 31 yo is the end :lol:
