A particular decision, that of Johannes Bø, who will return to his homeland at the end of the CdM stage in Oberhof, to spend some time with his family. The Norwegian biathlete has always given great importance to the family environment, which is why, despite the current pandemic situation making numerous trips can involve many risks, his choice is more than understandable. Bø will spend a week in a hut in Sjusjoen, skipping both the CdM stage of Ruhpolding, like most of his compatriots, and the meeting at high altitude on the Trentino snows of Lavazè. "Mental health is second to physical health, I am aware of the risks, but I need a period like this" - the Norwegian champion told TV2. Johannes Bø will return to the competition in Anterselva, in the stage scheduled from 21 to 23 January 2022, before the long Olympic trip to China. Bø's decision was obviously approved by the medical and technical staff of the Norwegian national team, who considered this period of '' deadlift '' to be correct for the biathlete born in '93, before a real tour de force between the CdM and the Games.
