Grassmarket 2,757 Posted February 22, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Good news is that ALL the races, both Youth & Junior are streaming live. https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/youth-junior-champs-preview/QnptnvV0E4OEWcLBBCf5B Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 783 Posted February 23, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hoping for a Repinc vs. Grotian battle on the women's side. A bit surprised that those two won't compete at junior level. The italians also look good as usual and the norwegians are unpredictable since none of them have any recent results. On the men's side things look less predictable, although Betemps should be the favorite. Engelmann from Germany and Trojer from Slovenia look like interesting talents as well. Also a guy named "Sivert Björndalen" will be competing as well ... Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

RobtheAggie 340 Posted February 23, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I did see a Guro Femsteinevik for Norway. I am going to assume she is a sister of Martin and Ragnhid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenia might be her name? It will be interesting to see if she takes up biathlon like her parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,595 Posted February 23, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Sivert Bjoerndalen is Dag's son indeed. Ole Einar has posted several vids of his nephew Sivert on FB few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
