I am starved for any real news, so here are sort of interesting things.

Tatiana Akimova has been brought back into the Russian team.  

 

Czech biathletes took part in a roller ski race.  Good to see anything happening.  

 

Well, the Baltic Biathlon cup stage 1 is going to start next weekend, but yeah, there's not going to be too much hype around it :d

 

Edit: To elaborate more, on the 31st there's going to be a shooting competition as well as a sprint + cross country running whilst on the 1st of August there will be a sprint + roller ski

Australia were going to try to have events, but did cancel the Victorian Biathlon Championships this weekend.  They have also cancelled the Australian Championships next month.

That's too bad, it'd have been a nice chance for a tiny bit of extra attention for Jill Colebourn and Jeremy Flanagan. Assuming the latter is still active.

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Anyone know if the Norwegian rollerski/biathlon race that usually happens in August is going to happen?  I can not remember the name to look it up.

It seems it will go ahead as planned. Of course without spectators.

just a ranking event to assign a number probably.  No WC form to go on, and with a narrow track there’ll be a small advantage to being at the front.

So Lahti is going to be the opening of the new season, as it takes the one weekend from Ostersund. 

 

I wonder, if they are going to push of having 10 rounds/resorts from now on, or is it because Beijing test event has to be put in there.
