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 ... :mumble:

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I think their daughter would be around 8 now.  Xenia might be her name?  It will be interesting to see if she takes up biathlon like her parents.  

Ole-Einar was first married to :ITA biathlete Natalie Santer; don't know if there were children.
