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

Too bad that they axed it entirely. I'm happy not to see it in the World Cup, but it was an excellent event for the IBU Cup or Junior Cup. Although the mass start 60 is better there, that's definitely the main event I would not want in the World Cup but definitely in the IBU and Junior Cups.

Julia Simon has been arrested by the French police in an ongoing investigation against her for Credit Card fraud. Last January her teammate Justine Braisaz-Buchet has pressed charges against Simon for using her Credit Cards to buy different stuff. :yikes:

The saga continues :d 

 

Although apparently she's not actually 'arrested', but brought in for questioning, with arrested coming from a mistranslation? At least that's what the comment here is saying :p

In English it’s probably “questioned under caution”.  Basically, an official notification that you are being investigated and it’s time to seriously rethink the “abducted by aliens and replaced by a body double” defence strategy.

Yeah, she hasn't been arrested at all, the police (or in this case "gendarmerie") only got her testimony in the presence of her lawyer ;)

 

But don't worry it's French justice, we'll have the results of this case in 2 years :facepalm:

Another early biathlon pioneer has died.  Victor Mamatov, a double Olympic champion (1968, 1972) in the 4×7.5 km relay and a quadruple world champion (1967, 1969, 1970, 1971) passed away this week.  He also had a long tenure as the VP of the IBU from 1993-2002.  Tough week for older biathletes in Russia.

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.
