Continuation and end of the Biathlon World Cup this week in the Canadian resort of Canmore, which hosted the events of the Calgary Olympic Games in 1988. After five months of fierce competition, the season will deliver its verdict on the Canadian tracks, where the crystal globes will be awarded.
The Norwegians Ingrid Tandrevold and Johannes Boe are ahead in the general classification. The French Justine Braisaz-Bouchet (3rd overall) and Julia Simon (4th) – and to a lesser degree Lou Jeanmonnot (5th) – still have a card to play behind Tandrevold, closely followed by the Italian Lisa Vittozzi, even if he We will undoubtedly have to count on at least a poor performance from the Norwegian in one of the three races.
Among the men, Tarjei Boe is the only one to still threaten his brother Johannes, already four-time winner of the big crystal globe but only 62 points ahead in the standings. A fratricidal war which promises for the last act of the 2023-24 season.
