Biathlon legend dislocated his shoulder
“I dislocated my shoulder, but it popped back into place on its own. It was really painful, but I continued to the finish line,” says former biathlon star Emil Hegle Svendsen.

Ingvild Flugstad Østberg has yet to return to competitive skiing. On Monday, she received another heavy blow as her grandmother, Valborg Østberg, passed away. She was 95 years old and left a significant mark as a pioneer for women in cross-country skiing.
He has been on the same ski brand since he received a t-shirt and a 50% discount on skis at age 14. Now, however, that chapter is closing.
She is not used to being in the media spotlight all the time. Therefore, the 24-year-old from Norway left the country when the debate about her national team position intensified.
At 33 years old, he remains as motivated as ever and aims for new medals, but not with the same ski brand he has used throughout his career.
Christian Scherer, the CEO of the Austrian Ski Federation, is certain: “FIS President Johan Eliasch will not be reelected,” he states ahead of this week’s FIS Congress in Belgrade.
The now 43-year-old from Norway was once one of our best relay skiers, finishing with four World Championship golds in relays. Now he is changing paths after 10 years in banking. He will help the wealthy as a wealth manager.
The entire winter was a disappointment. Persistent back problems turned out to be a herniated disc. The Czech star has now undergone surgery. But recovery will take time, starting with six weeks of rest for the former biathlon World Champion.
It’s that time of year when skiers and biathletes share exotic vacation photos from holiday paradises. But the Finnish star did something entirely different: he cycled to Italy to watch a stage of the Giro d’Italia!
He won Olympic gold in the relay last winter, but now the 31-year-old biathlete from France is completely changing direction. The Maldives, Indonesia, and New Zealand are not exactly places one would associate with training for a World Championship season.
