Biathlon: Norway announce their squad for Pokljuka
Late on Monday afternoon, theNorwegian Biathlon Association published the list of athletes selected for the World Cup in Pokljuka (Slovenia) starting on Thursday.
There are two new arrivals in the men’s group: Johannes Dale-Skjevdal and Isak Frey – guaranteed to win the IBU Cup crystal globe, which he has already lifted in Otepää (Estonia) in recent days – will be travelling with us.
However, the staff have also selected Tarjei Boe, Johannes Thingnes Boe, Sturla Holm Lægreid, Endre Stroemsheim, Vebjoern Soerum and Martin Uldal. Logically, this means that two of them should be left out of Friday’s individual race to allow the newcomers to line up.
There are no changes on the women’s side, however, with the call-ups of Ragnhild Femsteinevik, Marthe Kraakstad Johansen, Maren Kirkeeide, Ida Lien and Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold.
