🇦🇹 This is an intriguing Austrian women's team. Definitely potential there with the strong Annas, Steiner's incredible shooting and Zdouc's experience. 24yo Lara Wagner could be the "x" factor. Great skiing last year & would love to see her shooting succeed! 📸Barbieri #biathlon

🇦🇹 Reminder of course that this is only part of the decision making process. They will also look at Anna Gandler’s racing in Geilo this coming weekend and then make a decision taking into account the races as well as a bit of discretion for the World Cup selections #biathlon

Starting work on season previews. I’ve got 12 (+/- 3) team previews to get done in the next 2ish weeks. Not to mention a couple of podcast interviews to get done. I’m feeling the time crunch. Gonna have to invest heavily in caffeine! But so excited for the season! #biathlon

🇳🇴 Looks like it will be a late start to the season for Åsne Skrede as she continues to work her way back from her injury and surgery last season. She notes she’s still having weakness in the ankle and lower leg. Really hoping she will get there with continued physio! #biathlon

🇳🇴 Major credit to Karo Knotten. She was very open about disagreements with prior staff, the negotion for her to return and what went in to it, the selection of Sverre Roeiseland, and how the new staff is different/better than former staff for her. I'll post clips soon! #biathlon
