Calling any Biathlon expert

Heavy snow...he is not heavy as ex Svendsen and would gain more time if snow is wet. But beware these slopes are very easy.

I agree , the tougher conditions , the better for Bjorndalen.

wet conditions make the choice of skis and wax much more decisive, so I would take care anyhow, Russians and Austrians may take it with faster skis!

Who would have thought Neuner can be beaten on the trails?

Cheers guys much appreciated. Looks like the snow will be wet, with ambient air temps around 3 or 4c by the start - just hope the great man can pull this one off.

Svendsen or Bjordalen ?

Svendsen for me

how long does this event last, i.e. what is the expected winning time?

(complete novice here)

around 23 minutes
