biography

Be honest. When you think of biathlon you think of Norway. How can you not? Okay fine, maybe you first think of Lisa Vittozzi or the legion of French women, or the historical successes of Germany. But inevitably you come to think of the berserker Viking horde that has descended on biathlon over the last couple of decades.One of the top stories of the last several seasons has been the absolutely crushing dominance of the Norwegian men and the stranglehold they have put on biathlon. From JT Boe making a push to be the greatest biathlete of all time, to regular Norwegian podium sweeps, to the chokehold they put on the IBU Cup. It’s not just the men though, as Tiril Eckhoff and Marte Olsbu Roeiseland recently won Overall Globes and Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold nearly added her name to that list last season.Norway is the historical and spiritual home of biathlon. The Oslo-Holmenkollen venue and race weekend is regarded as a pilgramage for some biathlon fans (myself included). It’s such a big deal that the Kind of Norway makes regular appearances at the races. Where else does royalty come to bless the biathlon?

The Norwegian biathlon rosters ultimately become absolutely giagantic. Simply put, the number of men and women who may ultimately race in an IBU level event next season is enormous. So what I’ve tried to do is summarize the men and women who make up the official National Team rosters for the 2024-2025 season as well as a few other familiar names that, while not officially on the roster, we are more than likely to see this season as well. The sheer number of athletes, and very high levels of talent, makes it difficult to predict which athletes will spend the most time on which levels. I’ve done my best though!Men The current iteration of the Norwegian men’s biathlon team is the strongest biathlon team in modern biathlon history. Last season they went 1-5 in the Overall on the World Cup. The only reason they didn’t go 1-6 is because Emilien Jacquelin put in a late surge and just pipped Endre Stroemsheim at the very very very end. The Norwegian domination extends beyond merely the World Cup. The men on the IBU Cup also swept the top five positions along with 9th and 13th. Meanwhile Kasper Kalkenberg, still a Junior, has run six career races on the Juniors level and he’s won three of them. It’s beyond ridiculous how much talent is on the Norwegian team. How many could they put in the top 20 of the World Cup Overall if they were to have unlimited starting positions?
