There is a super cool 6 part documentary about the Swedish Biathlon 2022-2023 season.  There is an English translation in subtitles.  I just finished it, it was really well done and insightful.  Great way to prepare for the season.

Just a reminder - season starts Saturday 11 November with the first Norwegian domestic races!

Former Bulgarian biathlete and World Cup regular for 10 years, Krasimir Anev, has apparently shot himself in the stomach in an attempted suicide.

 

He is in the hospital, but his condition is not good. A day before the incident he had posted a cryptic, literary quote about a friendship betrayal on facebook.

I think that on the same weekend there will be the Swedish domestic racest. It will be fun to watch.

Yep, both. Usually on FTA TV, will post details nearer the time.  Both have many international guests on training work.

Canada actually had their first on snow race of the season at Canmore this weekend.  It is so nice to see races on snow!

unfortunately, this time SVT decided to put their broadcast behind a geo-block

I am reserving judgement - in previous years I've seen funny things happen if you try to access the event before it starts, but if you create a fresh connection after the stream starts it works.
