11:59. The United States Biathlon Federation, US Biathlon, recently unveiled its selection for the World Cups scheduled for this January in Oberhof (Germany), Ruhpolding (Germany) and Antholz (Italy).
Unsurprisingly, the blue bib of the best U23 Campbell Wright will be the leader alongside Deedra Irwin, but absent from Oberhof due to illness. Paul Schommer will be making his comeback in the IBU Cup, almost two years after his last international appearance.
