The farewell to the Boe brothers was sad but also joyful. So honored to have witnessed that, even if I cried the whole way through!

So many amazing moments in Holmenkollen. I’ve started to work thru notes and audio and there are probably 3 podcast episodes coming soon!! Loved every second of it!

#biathlon

Lou Jeanmonot takes the win!!

Todorova delighted in second!

Lampic is even more delighted in 3rd!! A great moment for her, and proof to everyone (including her) that she can do it in a 4 shoot race!! So happy for her!

Richard in 4th gains a stack of U23 points

#biathlon

Shoot 4 and here we go:

Lou has done it! 5/5

Todorova is 20/20!!

Richard and Lampic miss one each and end up 19/20. Lampic could steal a podium place from Jeanne Richard, who is always 4th, it seems… I’m so torn right now…

#biathlon

Lou is still in the lead, by a couple of seconds, with tiny Jeanne Richard and speedy Lampic chasing. Todorova in 4th so far -15/15 again!

Shoot 3 and here comes Lou…

And it’s 4/5 so she’ll be off on the loop…

Behind her: it’s Richard and LAMPIC!!!!!!!!

#biathlon

Lou Jeanmonot is herring-boning her way up the steep hill - that’s her ski-mountaineering experience… She is looking so tough today and has 27 seconds on everyone else…

#biathlon

Coming in for Shoot 2 and it’s jeanmonot and lien coming in together…

Lou 5/5
Ida 4/5

Julia, Jeanne, Tandrevold, Todorova and Lampic (!!!!!) go 10/10!

#biathlon

Shoot 1 and its advantage France, with 5/5 for Lou, Julia, Jeanne.

Tandrevold and Lien also 5/5. And Lampic too!!

A miss for Preuss on her last shot.

#biathlon

A steady start with Preuss leading the way on tracks that don’t look too bad (it’s snowing!). Perhaps a bit of risk aversion while they learn the conditions…

#biathlon

Women’s Mass Start time from a snowy Pokljuka… and this could be a lot of fun! Watch out for two Oebergs, the resurgent Norwegians, the massed ranks of French and the imperious Franzi Preuss…

And on the final lap, Endre Stroemsheim burst free to take the win. He looked so strong out there today.

Laegreid held off JTB in a sprint for silver. And Campbell Wright stayed in the mix til the end and took a great 4th!

#biathlon

Shoot 4 - hold your breath everyone…

Laegreid and Stroemsheim hit 5/5 in beautiful unison! They are away!

JTB vs Campbell Wright in a ski race for bronze!

Pass the popcorn!!

You'Re Crying GIF ALT: You'Re Crying GIF

Hanna Oeberg trailed in last place in the Mass Start - she had a fall early on and rifle issues.

On her way to the finish, she was handed a Swedish flag, which she carried over the line to the winner: her sister, Elvira.

#biathlon

And Elvira Oeberg holds on and looks delighted to take gold!

Oceane Michelon with the biggest smile as she takes silver!

Kirkeeide 3rd 🇳🇴

Richard 4th and a fabulous 5th for Todorova 🇧🇬!!!

#biathlon

And it’s Elvira Oeberg who hits 5/5 in the final shoot and she will ski away for the win!

Mad scramble between Kirkeeide, Michelin, Todorova (!!), and maybe Jeanmonot and Richard for the medals now
