The elite group of the blue biathlon team will stay in Sandnes until Thursday 8 August, taking part in the various races, with the exception of Lukas Hofer (who will train with his teammates on Scandinavian days), on the roller skis for a BlinkFestivalen which will see at the start many stars, including the world champions Dorothea Wierer and Dominik Windisch, as well as Lisa Vittozzi and, for the occasion, the ds Fabrizio Curtaz has also called Thomas Bormolini.
Two competitions are scheduled: Friday 2 August starts at 4 pm with a series of challenges at the shooting range, followed at 17.10 by the male and female prologue and at 6.55 pm by the mass start.
