From the 13th to the 15th of November, the plan was for the Norwegian biathletes to start the season in Sjusjöen, 20 km east of Lillehammer.
But the local authorities in Ringsaker municipality have tightened their corona restrictions and do not allow major sporting events.
- We are the first to understand that.
We must take the corona into account first, says Ingrid Tandrevold to NRK.
The Norwegian Biathlon Federation is currently looking for an alternative competition venue.
But the organizer must have both extensive experience and access to snow.
If you do not find something that fits, the premiere can be canceled - in which case the world cup premiere in Kontiolathi, Finland, November 28, will be the season's first real test.
- Then I will be even more nervous when the World Cup starts.
The most important thing is the selection.
There are many who want to match themselves against the best and test what they have trained for the entire season, Tandrevold says to NRK.
