In order to keep biathlon races exciting for longer, the World Federation is testing a new start mode in which the top 15 start in the back starting group. The stars' displeasure is great.
Biathlon is one of the crowds pullers in winter, the races are exciting, the athletes are virtually in continuous use. But now there is trouble with the international association and great frustration. A change in the rules by the world association apparently wants to create artificial tension - which professionals suffer.
The German biathlon team is hoping for a similarly good start as in the previous season. An experienced athlete is missing, a ski hunter is pregnant. There is trouble over a new rule.
Three days before the first stage of the World Cup in Kontiolahti (Finland), the double Olympic champion 2022 Quentin Fillon Maillet discusses the race conditions.
On November 30, the 2024/25 Biathlon World Cup season will begin. The champion talks about how Ukrainian biathletes and stars of the main winter sport approach the pre-Olympic season.
Never before has the anger over a rule change and the fear of unequal competition been as great among biathletes from all countries as before the start of the new season.
