It is clear that no one will throw Johannes and Tarjei Boe out of the team, who completely failed the races at the Norwegian Open Championships in Sjusjoen.
But a whole string of athletes performed better than Laegreid and Dale.
Men
They took the entire six from last season - Johannes Boe, Tarjei Boe, Sturla Laegreid, Johannes Dale, Endre Strømsheim, Vetle Christiansen and added Vebjørn Sørum to them. Also, Mats Øverby, as the winner of last year's IBU Cup, will go to the first two events under an extra quota.
Johan Olaf Botn, Martin Uldal - who took 3rd place at sprint and mass start, will go to the IBU Cup.
In the women's roster, things are not so tough, although the sports equipment saleswoman Marit Skogan was left outside the elite this time.
Women:
- Ingrid Tandrevold
- Karoline Knotten
- Juni Arneklev
- Maren Kirkeide
- Emilie Kalkenberg
- and, surprisingly, Gro Randby, a girl with less than impressive performances at the IBU Cup and a complete debutant.
