They're not originally from Moldova or something? I just can't keep up with Eastern Europe nationality changes.

Interview with Carine Leijn on Biathlon23:

Pretty nice, except for one thing: apparently big sister Lilian has retired from biathlon over the summer (or last winter), which means the Netherlands now really only has Carine Leijn and Jarl Hengstmengel left  

 

Spoiler

Obviously Brazil is my favourite team anyway, so there's worse things in the world

Another small bit of news: Brazil will be present in at least the first five IBU Cups + the Open European Championships this season (at least that's the plan)

 

The rest will depend on who goes to the Olympics or not.

I don't know whose Russian, Ukranian or Belarusian anymore, they keep switching every few years. At least China 2022 should be able to participate in the Olympics without enrolling an entirely Russian squad.
