More biathlon this weekend!  It's the Norwegian Nationals and it's on free-to-air!  

 

NB this shows as blocked under some links, but the Norwegian system has a built-in bypass, so should be OK from this page.

Stina Nilsson changes sport again, back to cross country but this time Ski classics. Her biathlon career ends with one individual podium and one in relay.

She gave it a legitimate attempt, but could not make it work.  I give her lots of props for the attempt.  It had to be frustrating to go from the top of the world to one who is almost irrelevant.  Still a better biathlete than I could ever be :).  Good luck Stina, thanks for showing the world how difficult biathlon is.

Now I'd like to see William Poromaa try and fail miserably*, after his comments about biathletes basically being failed cross-country skiers.

 

*unlike Nilsson, who like you said gave it a real attempt and definitely did not 'fail'. Most World Cup athletes never get a podium at all in their career, so she's done a fine job. Nice to see her in the races for the real tough ones from now on

Slovak biathlon is still not buried entirely.

 

Paja decided to return to the sport and will continue until Milano/Cortina and wll train with men´s team (former cross-country skier Martin Bajčičák also became the new coach of the NT)
