– For me, it is service neglect. I think it’s really bad a job, says Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen to news. The biathlon reacts strongly to the outlet for this weekend’s run in Slovenian Pokljuka. Sjåstad Christiansen’s name is not on the list among the eight taken out. Instead, biathletes such as Johannes Dale-Skjevdal and Isak Leknes Frey are taken into the heat. The latter is scheduled to make its debut in the World Cup. – I don’t understand a shit of why I’m not taken out to Pokljuka. I get completely frustrated and had it been possible, then I had changed the employer, thundered Sjåstad Christiansen. See the outlet below.

He has traveled home in rage. – I didn’t find it. I couldn’t stay in Otepää for Ibu-Cup and pretend it is going well, says the 32-year-old. The national team management responds to the criticism further down the case. The veteran won Sunday’s joint start in the IBU Cup, with 20 out of 20 hits. Even the 32-year-old thinks he has shown good enough form to be taken out, both physically and on the stand. – The union very keen on fronting mental health, and then they handle athletes like that … It is a marvelous withdrawal. Based on the criteria, it does not hang on. He continues: – Two things apply to the extraction criteria, there are international results and recently shown form, and they do not look at any of it. It is clear that it does something about the psyche of an athlete. On Sunday, the management did not get the biathlon. He should have had a longer chat with national team coach Egil Kristiansen on Monday. In the cold: Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen has not gone for the elite team since the World Cup in the Anterselva.

Our training program is based on performing in championships and then we fall victim to our own arrangement. The coaches are not there for us anymore. We feel very alone. There are attacks from all places. Who speaks our case when we don’t have coaches who do it? – Are you aiming for the coaches or the national team management? – It is a combination of Siegfried (Mazet, shooter), Per Arne (Botnan, national team manager) and Egil (Kristiansen, national team coach). news has presented the criticism for both Mazet, Botnan and Kristiansen. The latter has not yet answered the inquiries. National team manager Per Arne Botnan understands the disappointment, but he does not agree with the mental health game of the biathlon. – He gets that thread. We do top sports and there are constantly going on where someone is allowed to walk and not go. Not being taken out happens quite often. Responses: National team manager Per Arne Botnan. Photo: Christian Grotnes / news believes Frey and Dale-Skjevdal have been better he understands that Sjåstad Christiansen is dissatisfied with the wreck. – Everyone who wants to go and is not taken out is disappointed. We need to understand that he is disappointed with it, but I think one should be careful to pull in mental health, says Botnan. Siegfried Mazet also stands in that it was right to wreck the World Cup reserve. – There are only six places, and Isaac has had a great season. Vetle may have been a little better than Dale-Skjevdal, but if we look at the season together, I think Isaac and John have been a little better, says news’s shooter. He will not comment on public criticism to a significant degree. – It’s a shame, I could say things about Vetle too. But I say nothing, it will be between us, says Mazet. – How would you describe your relationship with Vetle? – We have sometimes disagreed about things, because Vetle is great to talk and say what he thinks. But I’m not worried, we will go through this. Disagree with Sjåstad Christiansen: Shooter Siegfried Mazet thinks it was right to wreck Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen. Photo: Christian Grotnes / news – He says he would change teams if he had had the opportunity. What do you say to that? – I have nothing to say about it. People are free and can do as they please. I know one thing, and that is that if athletes are not on the national team, it is difficult to come back. The level goes down when you do not exercise at the top level. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe he can win outside the elite team. Pointing to teammate Sjåstad Christiansen thinks he should have been taken out in front of Johannes Dale-Skjevdal. -I went to the World Cup before Christmas and had two sixth places, which according to the extraction criteria are B-Merites. Me vs. Dale all year, none of us have had any good season, but I have beaten him all the times we have met in the World Cup, the one in the European Championships, now hit him in all the freshest in the Ibu cup round this weekend, he says. To that, the national team manager answers: – Based on what Vetle has performed the last three races, you can say that. But that’s not how we work, it’s about achievements over time. For our part, John has performed well for a long time and therefore he is elected here and comes in front of Vetle, says Botnan. Dale-Skjevdal himself thinks he deserves the World Cup he has now received. He too has been out in the cold for much of the season. – I don’t really want to comment on who deserves a place over another. Norwegian men’s biathlon is tough during the day, I know all about it. From my point of view I have six wins from the Ibu Cup this season, and thought it justifies a place in the World Cup, says Dale-Skjevdal to news. news’s experts are relying on Sjåstad Christiansen’s play, although they also understand the frustration. – I’ve never done it (dragged home from a collection), but I can understand that he is frustrated, in a way. We are just people, so when you feel unfairly treated, you get angry and upset and what is. So I can understand the reaction. But if that’s right, that’s another matter, says Emil Hegle Svendsen. Ola Lunde also understands the frustration, but he does not believe that the profile is unfairly treated. – No, I don’t feel. There is such a tough fight with this gang here now, so I do not think, says the news expert. Published 10.03.2025, at. 22.04 Updated 10.03.2025, at. 22.21
