Don't specifically remember bushes and trees, but I do remember it was this beautiful open snowy plains. Yeah, it might be my favorite venue outside the major World Cup ones. I’m kind of sad they didn’t get the 2022 Winter Olympics (especially since Kazakh sport is doing well right now) “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I’m kind of sad they didn’t get the 2022 Winter Olympics (especially since Kazakh sport is doing well right now) I still don't know if I'm sad about it or not, it depends entirely on the legendary Medeo speed skating rink. If they put a roof on it I'm happy they didn't get it (and this seems the likely option), if they leave it as it is, I'd be happy if they get it Medeo = epic 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!

They’d have to put a roof on it because it snows to much. The Almaty ski jumping center is very nice as well. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Spoiler But fine, we're digressing, this is about biathlon I'm kind of annoyed at there not being full results from Australia yet, come on.
