Funny how  struggled in women's biathlon races all Olympic cycle but managed to keep the Olympic title in sprint to themselves and also have a good chance at winning pursuit too.

 

Kirkeeide is up & down but she finished Top 10 in every sprint this season (nobody else managed to do that).

Will Norway reach 20 gold medals?

And for the mass start too.

Minkinen did tell how she doesn't particularly like this high altitude venue of Antholz, her speed has gone down drastically.

 Kirkeeide is a prime example of a typical Norwegian biathlete from 10 years ago and prior (before the current Boe era on the men's side). Always amongst the very fast in skiing, not much reliable in the shooting. But when the shooting hits zero, a pretty much unstoppable athlete.

I don't understand what's happening to her, 4 misses is not unusual but her ski time??

 

Now I'm thinking they may not include her in the relay, in favor of Camille Bened who showed great things in the individual. But I don't know if changing the lineup at the last minute is the best idea.

 

Simon's skiing was bad today too, and she said she felt a bit sick during the race, so I'm starting to feel pessimistic about the women's relay.
