Tatiana Akimova has been brought back into the Russian team. Czech biathletes took part in a roller ski race. Good to see anything happening. Well, the Baltic Biathlon cup stage 1 is going to start next weekend, but yeah, there's not going to be too much hype around it Edit: To elaborate more, on the 31st there's going to be a shooting competition as well as a sprint + cross country running whilst on the 1st of August there will be a sprint + roller ski RobtheAggie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 340 Posted July 22, 2020 #92 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Australia were going to try to have events, but did cancel the Victorian Biathlon Championships this weekend. They have also cancelled the Australian Championships next month. https://www.biathlon.asn.au/events.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the latter is still active. 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!

Federer91 2,140 Posted July 23, 2020 #99 Share Posted July 23, 2020 So Lahti is going to be the opening of the new season, as it takes the one weekend from Ostersund. I wonder, if they are going to push of having 10 rounds/resorts from now on, or is it because Beijing test event has to be put in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
