Today & egrave; the first day of 2016, the 'year that Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen - the pi & ugrave; great biathlete of all time - appender & agrave; skiing and rifle on the nail. Sar & agrave; so the 'last appearance of the phenomenal Norwegian snow on the resort & agrave; where he won more & ugrave; absolute: & nbsp; Anterselva, stop with missing exactly 20 days.

During his long career began in 1993, the 'now forty-Scandinavian got 95 victories in the World Cup divided into sixteen different plants distributed in three different continents. However, no location can & ograve; link its name to that of the star players of the Simostranda Antholz. The feeling between the two & ograve; It not born in the best way. In fact, after the 'debut in South Tyrol it happened in 1994, the World Cup of 1995 reserve a bitter disappointment all''allora twenty-Bj ø rndalen. Still fast success, Ole comes just 7 "3 winner dell''oro champion Patrice Bailly-Salins and remains with a handful of flies, because & eacute; is a close fourth seeing blur the bronze for 2 seconds. It rifar & agrave ;, and with interest, in the years ahead. Indeed, the 'love blossoms Anterselva eleven months after burning sprint standings. & Egrave; the '11 January 1996 in South Tir & ouml; the dispute is a twenty kilometers. Shooting the Norwegian & egrave; just perfect and a few days before his twenty-second birthday winning the coveted first career victory. Nobody can & ograve; know, but at that moment begins the legend Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen. In the winters following the Scandinavian starts to enrich his list. Comes an Olympic gold (sprint Nagano 1998) and in the same winter the first Crystal Ball. After which & eacute; the county of Buskerud biathlete enters in the history of Antholz becoming the first man ever capable of winning three races in a row in the resort & agrave; South Tyrol. The 'event occurs between 2000 and 2001, in a season when Antholz & egrave; scene of several recoveries in December. Ole imposes nell''inseguimento disputed December 17, 2000, in the sprint of 18 January 2001 and in the mass start of 21 January 2001. Of course, the proof of 17 December should have been held in Osrblie, but in South Tir & ouml; l Bj ø rndalen had won the 'pursuit of 22 January 2000, and then the three-row statements would have occurred even without recoveries. However, between 15 December 2000 and 17 January 2002 it was a sensational series of six podium finishes (three wins and three second places). After a few years, but in 2005 they are written two chapters of history. On January 19 the Norwegian triumphs nell''individuale inflicting 2 minutes, 33 seconds and 5/10 for the second place (the Chinese Zhang Chengye). Even today & egrave; margin pi & ugrave; wide between the first and second ever recorded in the history of the World Cup biathlon. The devastating success followed that the wire in the sprint of 21 January and that, got on parade, nell''inseguimento of 23 January. Other Filotto three statements in a row, but this time all obtained in the same stage. Never in Anterselva a man was capable of so much. The bill with the World Cup, was opened in 1995, it closed in 2007 when Bj ø rndalen won two medals' gold (sprint and pursuit).
