A display of dominance from the Norwegian men: they’re likely to get 5 in the top 10 in today’s sprint, with and other 1-2 for Botn and Uldal. They’ve always had the deepest squad but to have that level of performance? Amazing!

Stars and Stripes have been replaced by a blue and white cross on a red background- it’s a lot of 🇳🇴 right now.

Botn 10/10 and fast once again. Wow!

Uldal and Christiansen also 10/10; Laegreid 9/10 but fast…

#biathlon
December 6, 2025 at 4:16 PM
So much going on…

Wright and Germain have missed in their standing shoot. But are so fast they could still end the day well.

QFM, Laegreid , Samuelson 5/5…

OMG, Botn has gone 10/10!!!

#biathlon
December 6, 2025 at 4:08 PM
It’s all gone Stars and Stripes in Ostersund - Germain and Wright both 5/5 and leading the way at this point. Wright is burning it up!

Chapeau to Viktor Brandt - skiing hard and managed 10/10! 🇸🇪 He’s going to set a great early benchmark from bib 1.

Behind him, tough shooting but Isak Frey is 5/5 and Philip Horn is 5/5 - both skiing really well

#biathlon
December 6, 2025 at 3:51 PM
Viktor Brandt 🇸🇪 the first to hit 5/6 in the prone, delighting the home crowd.

And the Men’s Sprint is under way in Ostersund. Snow falling, wind blowing, a proper Ostersund day, by the look of it!

I’m looking out today for Germain and Wright of the USA, Frey 🇳🇴 and the unpredictable but wonderful French duo of QFM and Jacquelin.

December 6, 2025 at 3:36 PM
Suvi and the winning smile! Absolute joy!

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Suvi: I’m really happy and proud of how I did it today. It was hard to get the focus right on performing and not thinking about the results.

I think it’s crazy! Going out first in the Pursuit is something new but if I have the yellow (bib), that’s amazing!

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 4:27 PM
And the Women’s Sprint give us a whole bunch of surprises!

1. Suvi Minkinnen 🇫🇮 in the run-up to her birthday
2. Anna Magnusson 🇸🇪 - determined, accurate and fast
3. Oceane Michelon 🇫🇷 - the biggest smile when her targets fell

Flowers for Hauser, Elvira and Jakiela!!

Good news for Team GB though - Shawna Pendry has hit 10/10! She’s in 66th right now 😀

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 4:11 PM
Oh no, poor Chloe DuPont - we didn’t see it but her standing shoot was a 0. Maybe shooting across lanes? That’s such a shame. The prone was a great platform for next time though…

#biathlon

Update from Ostersund: the podium as it stands is brought to you by the letter M:

Minkkinen 🇫🇮
Magnusson 🇸🇪
Michelon 🇫🇷

Here we go with Minkkinen and she looks so steady - and hits 10/10!!!

She’s her 14 seconds on Magnusson. We know that Anna skied like a demon on that final lap (Oceane hit 10/10 but is not making up time)…

This could be Suvi vs Anna for the win

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 3:48 PM
ANNA!!!!!

Magnusson 🇸🇪 crosses the line with a lead of 30 seconds. Amazing performance. She knows how to sprint!

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Anna Magnusson 🇸🇪 is on a burn right now. She’s hit 10:19 and is storming around the tracks.

Lotte Lie 🇧🇪 and Joanna Jakiela 🇵🇱 also clean and moving up the rankings.

Oh and Ella Halvarsson just hit 10/10 🇸🇪

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 3:33 PM
Camille Bened has nerves of steel. Our first 10/10 with the world watching and she leads after two shoots.

Lisa V, with two misses, is only 9 seconds back, which gives a sense of Lisa’s speed…

#biathlpn
December 5, 2025 at 3:20 PM
A lot of 5/5s already I the prone, including Lehtonen 🇫🇮, Charvatova 🇨🇿, Hettich-Walz 🇩🇪

Can Lehtonen spring another surprise for Finland after Leinamo’s podium earlier this week?

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 3:18 PM
Gandler in Bib 1 hits her 5/5 but there a miss for Vittozzi behind her and she’ll head out onto the penalty loop. Nerves maybe?

Maya Cloetens and Polona Klemencic both hit 5/5, as does Skottheim 🇸🇪 to the cheers of the crowd!

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 3:11 PM
The first ten are out on track and it’s Lisa Vittozzi setting the initial benchmark after 1.3km, 3 seconds up on Anna Gandler

If you haven’t seen Lisa before, she is the most efficient person in terms of movement, both on skis and on the range. Elegant and controlled.

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 3:07 PM
Speaking of LISAAAAA, Lisa Vittozzi is under way in Ostersund, wearing bib 2 and with a good chance to make a difference today. So lovely to have her back in World Cup after missing last year through injury…

Snow is falling in Ostersund as we get ready for the Women’s Sprint. 2 shoots and 7.5km of lung-busting, lactic-boiling cross-country skiing…

It’s a time trial, so live posting can get a bit chaotic, but we’ll do our best!

#biathlon
December 5, 2025 at 2:23 PM
Norway getting 4 of the top 5 today. Insane!

Botn, Uldal, Bakken and Laegreid, with only Samuelson getting in the mix.

Just incredible!
