Former IBU president Besseberg under investigation of corruption.

 

"the 77-year-old Besseberg is accused of having received several expensive watches.He also allegedly used prostitutes paid for by others, as well as accepted free hunting trips abroad. Russian biathlon officials will have been among those who helped fund the gifts, according to Økokrim."

Most of this information came out a few years ago, the major difference is that now he is being formally charged.

The next nordic skier to switch to biathlon - Natalia Shevchenko (Mekryukova) of Russia.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, however, I am living in the US and love watching Biathlon, Alpine skiing, cross country etc. but it has become nearly impossible to watch races in the US since Olympic Channel/NBC/Peacock have stopped showing most races. I keep searching on Youtube to find races of these sports from the 2022/2023 season but many times can’t find anything or just the highlights instead of the full race.

 

Is there anywhere I could watch replays of all these races online? Very frustrating to be completely ignored by the media here..

All the biathlon races are on this site, with commentary.

The FIS YouTube sites have got full coverage of the World U-23 & Juniors from Canada.

Many thanks for both of your inputs!

 

Does ski and snowboard.live also have past races? I can’t watch live due typically, so would love to see races for the just past season.

 

Anything for cross-country on there too?
