I don't think he has a World Champs medal, yet 🤔

 

surely he was the first on the podium of a world cup race in that age group.

Yeah see my later post, I was entirely messing things up :d 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

So apparently Norway was unaware they can enter 6 athletes for the sprint if they have a reigning world champion and someone in Top 15 of the overall World Cup? Arnekleiv was a reserve on-site anyway but Stromsheim is only travelling for the men's sprint now...

Sweden also thought they hade one less spot for both men and women. And in the mixed relay they forgot to controll the screws in Samuelssons rifle. Very professional:wacko:

First, Norway was aware of its 6 quotas in the Men's sprint, but not with the pathway you describe. They had 5 guys in the top 15 + an individual quota. 6 guys were expected to start before F.F.Andersen had to withdraw. They decided not to replace him at first, but then sent Stroemsheim. 

 

For the women it's all on the IBU. No one knew how it worked before the "clarification". Actually it seems the IBU changed their minds after a German request for a larger interpretation of the "top 15 rule", hence the surprise.
