This week the IBU World Cup made its debut performance in Estonia! Before we even touch on the racing I just want to say that the crowd was excellent. They were excited and loud the entire weekend.

Elvira Öberg went perfect during her Sprint win and Marte Røiseland went perfect duringContinue reading “Ruhpolding 2021-2022 Weekend Recap”
