Biathlon: Norway unveils its squad for the Nove Mesto World Cup
On Tuesday lunchtime, theNorwegian Biathlon Association unveiled its squad for the World Cup in Nove Mesto (Czech Republic) at the end of next week.

Johannes Thingnes Boe, Sturla Holm Lægreid, Martin Uldal, Vebjoern Soerum, Tarjei Boe and Endre Stroemsheim have been retained. Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen, a substitute in Switzerland, will have to make do with the IBU Cup, as will Johannes Dale-Skjevdal.
In the women’s category, Ragnhild Femsteinevik, Maren Kirkeeide, Ida Lien, Karoline Knotten and Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold will all be travelling to the Vysocina Arena. Marthe Kraakstad Johansen completes the line-up.
