Frenchman Florent Claude will switch nationality and compete for Belgium.

IBU has published the schedules and dates for all World Cups and IBU Cups of next season, but I'm really thinking it's bad news for Brazil..

 

The schedule in Martell only says there will be one sprint, and nothing more. Just a sprint on 5 January and that's it, no individual, no sprint on the other day...

Arber will only have one individual and a single mixed relay (which is useless for Brazil if they don't have two men).

 

This all basically means they will have much less chances to get a good amount of IBU points, since they won't be competing in the first three IBU Cups..

 

Look on biathlonresults.com for the exact schedules..

Alright, they've updated Martell  

 

Two sprints and a pursuit now, meaning the Brazilians will have three sprints and two individuals to qualify for the World Championships

btw I was once in Osrblie with my parents during a world cup race when Hurajt finished 3rd, I don´t remember the year (Poirée won the race btw) but it was a great experience
