The Swedish cross-country national team canceled this year's competitions due to the pandemic.
SVT's expert Anders Blomquist said that it does not have to mean a lesser risk of being infected at home.
The Norwegian biathlon national team is in the same line as Blomquist.
After several biathlon competitions, a break awaits until January 11th.
A scenario that worries Johannes Thingnes Bö.
- It is very critical.
It is the most critical moment in the World Cup calendar.
At Christmas, people gather and it is inevitable that people do not celebrate with their family.
It can not stop people from doing it, says Thingnes Bö to NRK.
"As optimal as it can be"
Thingnes Bö will celebrate with his wife and son, and Tarjei Bö with his girlfriend.
It will be in a cabin in the mountains.
- It is as optimal as it can be, says Thingnes Bö.
Tarjei Bö agrees with his brother.
He is fully convinced that the risk of infection increases.
- It will probably be the same in January as it was when we started now.
It is inevitable, says Tarjei Bö.
It was coronakaos in Kontiolahti when the biathlon season started.
Several national teams were affected.
"Can not be with the family"
Last year, Ingrid Tandrevold celebrated Christmas with Tiril Eckhoff and their respective.
- I can not be with the family, so I have persuaded my boyfriend to be with me instead of his family.
Being completely alone is a bit sad.
I hope we find a place with snow, says Tandrevold.
