Biathlon drama: France's women win, Norway disappointed!

The 2024 Biathlon World Championships in Nove Mesto was a real spectacle, dominated by favorites France and Norway. France made people sit up and take notice with an outstanding women's team that won a whopping six gold medals. However, the stars of the event were the athletes, especially Julia Simon, who became the best athlete with four gold medals. On the men's side, the Norwegians experienced similar dominance, even if they surprisingly had to settle for silver in the relay. Johannes Thingnes Boe, the 30-year-old superstar, crowned his achievement with three gold medals and a total of seven medals in all competitions Laola1 reported.

Austria without a medal

Despite their strong tradition, the Austrian biathlon team had to go home disappointed this time without a medal. After six World Championships in a row in which the ÖSV team was able to win at least one medal, this was a bitter setback. In addition to France and Norway, the overall balance of medal distribution also shows Italy and Sweden among the most successful nations, while the top-class competition ended without any awards for the Austrian team.

Ski resort test reported. The results of the last World Ski Championships in Courchevel in 2023 show that Austria has a long history of success in skiing. The fans hope that this tradition can continue in Saalbach.
