I do wonder if Elvira Oeberg is set to break out as a reliable podium threat and race winner next season? Two Oeberg sisters in Top 5 WC overall next season?

Great question.  I just imagine the two Oeberg's and Samuelsson plus Ponsiluoma.  That is a great mixed relay team when things are clicking.

The startlist for todays "Biathlon Contest" a mass start, plus shooting competition in Bessans, France is an interesting mix of biathletes.  Considering that the World Champs start on the same day, there are some very well known biathletes in France, and not at the World Champs.

The top French are not there, but Jakov Fak and Klemen Bauer are.  In fact 7 Slovenians, a few Croatians and a few Italians join 7 French on the Senior Men side.  

 

The big guns will participate in the shooting competition for both the men and women.  The top French women and men, as well as 6 Norwegians such as the likes of Eckhoff, Roeisland, and Landmark Tandrevold.  On the mens side, the top French are there as well.
