Biathlon : Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen could be left out of Norway’s squad for Oberhof
At the beginning of January, the Biathlon World Cup will take place in Oberhof (Germany). For this fourth stage, Norway will be able to field six biathletes.
Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen didn’t score any good points this Sunday at the mass-start in Le Grand-Bornand (Haute-Savoie). Twenty-fifth after missing four targets in the last stand-up, he may even have jeopardised his chances. ” In a way, it was the worst thing that could have happened to me to go to Oberhof”, he lamented on NRK.

As Siegfried Mazet told Nordic Magazine in the wake of the mass-start, which saw the other five Norwegians enter the top 6, a selection meeting is scheduled for this Sunday evening. “ His performance won’t go his way”, he also said.
Martin Uldal, Johannes Thingnes Boe, Sturla Holm Lægreid, Vebjoern Soerum, Tarjei Boe and Endre Stroemsheim are all expected to travel to Germany in early 2025. As for Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen, he reveals that he is already looking ahead to the mass-start in Ruhpolding (Germany) on January 19.
