Will add to the veteran Lars Helge Birkeland, in season successfully engaged in the cadet level competitions. It should also be the game also Tarjei BÃ¸, if it is healthy. The twenty-five he had to skip the mass start Pokljuka and there is no certainty about its use in Finland despite being included among the selected. Among women, on the other hand, there are two changes compared to what was decided at the end of February. SynnÃ¸ve Solemdal is struggling with a persistent ailment, while Ann Kristin Flatland (now at the end of his career) has decided to participate only to the stage of the World Cup at home in Oslo and subsequent national championships in Voss. Their place will be taken by Mars Olsbu and Bente Landheim. In fact, the female Norway will be the same view as in Slovenia.
