I mean that forcing a young talent like him to retire not to compromise his mental health because he feels that he's not being treated like he deserves by an institution that's supposed to protect their "assets" rather than getting them so uncomfortable is absolutely an awful story (I didn't even read the whole article, I was just thinking of this situation in general terms)

Right, I didn't know this was public information or anything and the Eurosport article didn't really mention it, but with NRK's help it's more or less cleared up :p 

 

But yeah, very shitty situation..

Knowing them fairly well, they would absolutely go and run with every bit of credit for Braathen's entire career :lol: Much as I enjoy most Brazilian winter sports success and much as I have always been a Braathen fan, I'm not sure I could stomach that :d 

 

They're way too busy with other things though, like all the sweet free IBU money and equipment for sending random athletes to as many IBU competitions as they can (where every start brings in cash), I'd be surprised if they're even aware of Braathen :p

Was robbed of her career by the overwhelming presence of intersex athletes in her event.  And of course when she complained about it she was bullied into silence by the Twitter mob. Let's hope she's the last woman to be treated that way.
