No it´s not 1st April today. No worries.

 

Anastasiya Kuzmina will compete at the European Championships in Osrblie, and according to her words, if she will feel it doable she is open to participate at the World Champs in Czechia. :p Remember our biathlon team is almost inexistant now, with Paja missing the season due pregnancy (and yet not decided if she will even return to the sport next year) and Ivona Fialková retired this summer... so any help for us would be more than appreciated

Now that's some glimmer of hope, let's go Kuzmina :cheer: 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Some updates from the IBU meeting:
- the Super Sprint will be deleted from all IBU race series
- the Mixed Relay will always be 4x6km in the future, no matter if women or men start

Goodbye super sprint, may you not be ever missed ever again.

Finally, the retirement of Gabrielė Leščinskaitė was officially announced on our Biathlon social media.

 

This is her first actual retirement, although she retired like 6 or 7 times before in her head, but was persuaded to come back every time :d

Sad news, Anfisa Restova died.

Mother of both Kristina Reztsova and Daria Virolainen, RIP.

 

Spoiler

On a sidenote: Anfisa got some media time last year, when calling the Norwegian biathletes 'disgusting cockroaches'.
