🇩🇪 Sverre Røiseland will be leaving the German team. Chatted with him and Marte and health wise right now he is good but at this moment wanting to prioritize spending time with the young family. On a personal note I completely understand and value that decision!

The wind is going to be so tricky today. Goes from slight breeze to the trees blowing around in 2 seconds. Also shifting from mostly left to right to a bit into the athletes’ faces. Much different than last 2 days. Picture unrelated but I found it charming

🇫🇷 Lou is one of the classiest champions we could ask for. Long after the race was over she happily chatted with us about everything from the fate of her Isolated Pursuit globe (it’s safe!) to my daughter and her legion of kid fans. So fun!

🇫🇷 Chatted with Julia about the finish and she was total class about it. Said she was mad at herself because she put herself in the wrong position and Hanna made a great move to close her opening. My 1st time interviewing her but won’t be the last! Great convo!

🇺🇸 Had a long chat with Campbell after his race today. Specifically talked about his final lap. He was irritated with the 2 misses calling it the “classic Campbell” to go 0+2. But he was happy with his race plan and racing strategically. He’s excited for tomorrow!

🇺🇸 Campbell, in perfectly Campbell fashion, just minutes before his start time skied down the hump before the finishing stretch, jumped the blue barriers and rolled right up to the start queue. Went on to have the 10th best ski time. Only Campbell

🇦🇹 Today, long after the other athletes were gone, Simon Eder stopped to chat with 2 guys from North America. He seemingly would have stayed all night. It was an honor to spend the time with a true hero who has been in my biathlon life for 20 years. Thank you Simon!!!

🇺🇸 US Men finish in 7th in the Nations Cup. They easily qualified for 5 starters next season which is a huge win. But it’s also the best finish by the men since 2016. Armin Auchentaller, Jake Brown, and Paul Schommer going out strong 💪! Big shoes to fill!

🇵🇱 Gotta feel good for Poland. 1 year after narrowly missing a top 10 Nations Cup finish they clinch 10 with a full team performance. It started with Nove Mesto and since then they’ve been stacking results including relay finishes of 6th and 5th. Happy for these women!

🇳🇴 She didn’t finish 1st. She didn’t finish on the podium. It doesn’t matter, this was a massive win for Ingrid Tandrevold. 5th today was huge. Clean standing shooting was huge. And in classic Tandrevold fashion she let that smile tell everybody how much it meant!

Those of you who have been around me know of my true affection for Lisa Hauser. Something about her racing style, needing to fight for every bit of the race, that so appeals to me. Those 2 peak seasons including Worlds 🥇 were a dream. Thank you 12 great years Lisa! 📸 Danielsson
