Biathlonworld Cup
After announcing his wife Hedda's sweet wait a month ago, the Norwegian champion clarified his plans for January, the month in which the birth of his first child is expected.

"I want to be present when it is born," Johannes Thingnes Boe told NRK, "so my plans for January will be different than usual." "It is the busiest month", continues the holder of the crystal ball, "but anything compared to a birth becomes of secondary importance".
The Norwegian will most likely participate in the three stages of December, Ostersund, Hochfilzen and Le Grand Bornand, and for Christmas he will return home where he will stay with his wife until the happy event. He will certainly miss the Oberhof appointment from 9 to 12 January and the date of his return will depend on the date of the birth with Johannes Boe willing to skip also Ruhpolding (15-19) and Pokljuka (23-26).
If this were the case, the Norwegian would arrive at the World Championships in Anterselva, which begin on February 13, almost two months after the last race held, an eventuality that does not frighten him: "Everything else is not important, it will be an approach at the event like I've never had and the adversaries will wonder if I will have my head at home or if I will be in seventh heaven ".
