RobtheAggie 337 Posted May 5, 2020 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2020 One small note - Ukraine saw their Biathlon budget slashed this upcoming season. Also, the big news is that according to this article: "– I WILL PERFORM UNTIL 2026, AND THEN FINISH MY CAREER. I THINK THESE YEARS WILL PASS QUICKLY. MY MOTIVATION IS GETTING STRONGER AND STRONGER EVERY DAY. I THINK THAT THE OLYMPICS IN ITALY IN 2026 WILL BE AMAZING. THERE IS NO QUESTION OF LEAVING EARLIER. 33 YEARS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO END YOUR CAREER. I DO NOT PLAN TO PERFORM UNTIL THE AGE OF 40 AS BJOERNDALEN, ”BO QUOTES TV2." I am not sure why it is all in caps, but that gives two more Olympic cycles (including this one). Could he win 6 more large crystal globes?
