Interesting interview with Tarjei Bø.  He said he wants to be able to watch his brother for a few years from the sideline.  Looks like post WC in Nova Mesto 2024 for his retirement.  Also he said that the Norwegian Olympic team will most likely skip the last race weekend prior to the Olympics.  That will be Antholz.

Some updates on Blink and Wiesbaden:

As of right now, Blink will be Norwegian only, but that may change depending on Governmental restrictions being lifted.

Wiesbaden - Johannes and Tarjei Boe, Erik Lesser, Roman Rees, Lukas Hofer, Jakov Fak, Said Khalili and a French biathlete - announced in the next week.  There will also ne 9 females, none have been announced yet.

24/25 July Victorian Biathlon Championships were cancelled due to COVID shutdowns in Australia.  There has been some local rollerski races in the US so far this summer.  The US Summer Championships are next weekend, they look like they will happen.

    • Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.
    • Do you have or have you ever had an modern ice track?
    • Still no progress in the Italian team: 2x 4th place in men's singles and women's doubles+ a fall in the team relay. Men's doubles and women's singles without any progress for years. What's worse, our women's doubles also significantly lowered their level: without a single podium in the World Cup in this season. As of today, I'm betting on 0 medals in Cortina for us, excluding some miracles on the home track.
    • There is some progress at Barp and Carollo but almost everything is still based on Pellegrino. In the men's we lost a great talent - de Fabiani and Davide Graz - they are at an age where we have a generation gap in these age groups: 1994-2000. In the women's I`m happy with Monsorno's progress in sprints but the last podium WC in the women's category was in... 2011. We wasted 15 years in the women's category and now we are only waking up with 1 year to go until the games in Cortina, when we should have a ready team like Germany (I will skip Scandinavia because of its completely different potential).
    • Italy doesn't exist in women's technical competitions without from Brignone and Goggia - both over 30 age. Unfortunately Bassino has been out of good shipe since from last season in the giant slalom and she is unrecognizable in some competitions. In the case of Goggia I also don't really believe in regular podiums in the giant slalom - she can't have falls and win in the downhill and super-G. The giant slalom is just a bonus.   The Italian women's slalom has basically been non-existent for many years. One Peterlini qualifies for the 30 and doesn't finish half of the competitions. I can't understand how it was possible to lose Colturi in a situation where other Italians have fallen so badly. Unfortunately it's not the Italian federation that should be setting the conditions here but it's Colturi and her mother - a talent on par with Shiffrin at her age. 
    • In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier
