– We have no secrets. That is why we are as good as we are, says Vetle Sj\u00e5stad Christiansen when news asks what lies behind the Norwegian success. For this season, Norway has been completely dominant among the biathlon men. A Norwegian has occupied more than 70 percent of the podium places in the World Cup up until the WC. 30 out of 42 podium places have thus gone to a Norwegian. – It’s so surreal and it almost has to be better than cross-country skiing, which we think is absolutely crazy, says Sj\u00e5stad Christiansen. – It is completely extreme – completely extreme in that sport here. What we have done this year has been on a completely different level team-wise. There are an average of more than two on the podium in each race. Those are wild numbers, continues Johannes Thingnes B\u00f8. In other words, there have only been 12 times that there has not been a Norwegian national team jacket on one of the three platforms for the podium. – It’s completely crazy. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of it. We have never been better. I think the foreigners are very envious of that, says Sturla Holm L\u00e6greid to news. World Cup podiums 2022\/23: Norwegian podiums: Johannes Thingnes B\u00f8 (11-0-2) Sturla Holm L\u00e6greid (1-6-4) Vetle Sj\u00e5stad Christiansen (0-3-0) Johannes Dale (1-0-0) Tarjei B\u00f8 (0-1-1) Other podium places: Martin Ponsiluoma (1-1-1) Niklas Hartweg (0-1-0) David Zobel (0-0-1) Roman Rees (0-0-1) Emilien Jacquelin (0 -1-1) Benedikt Doll (0-0-1) Quentin Fillon-Maillet (0-1-0) Jakov Fak (0-0-1) *Victory, second place and third place from the left. – Difficult mentally And of course he is absolutely right. – Everyone else has to deliver a completely perfect race to get on the podium, and it is difficult mentally when you prepare for a race, says German Roman Rees to news. He is one of only eight foreign athletes who have been on the podium this year. In Anterselva last week, he was fourth twice, behind two Norwegians and Sweden’s Martin Ponsiluoma. – The Norwegians are incredibly good. If they don’t win, they have done incredibly badly. They are so incredibly good. The whole team is among the strongest in the world and they are incredibly difficult to beat, says the Swede. ONE OF THE FEW: Roman Rees took third place in Kontiolahti earlier this season.

For German Rees, the prize cupboard could be much fuller without Norwegian supermen. – Johannes (Thingnes B\u00f8), Sturla (Holm L\u00e6greid) and even Vetle (Sj\u00e5stad Christiansen) can get on the podium with boom shots. Everyone else who wants to be on the podium is already under pressure. Everything has to be right to beat them, says Rees. He believes Norway also has a big advantage over its competitors. – They always have good skis, and they have no downhills. That is the resistance we face, he says. – Hard work But that excuse seems to the Norwegian biathletes to be at their thinnest. – We do good old-fashioned, hard work. Egil Kristiansen is the god of good old-fashioned hard work. It is not hocus pocus, says Christiansen. STRIKES BACK: Sj\u00e5stad Christiansen also uses the Hulken glove verbally. Photo: VINCENZO PINTO \/ AFP L\u00e6greid also points to the work that the Norwegian team has put in before the season. – We have improved after the Olympics and the foreigners have perhaps relaxed a little. It’s not because we’ve gotten a hell of a lot better, it’s because we’ve gotten a little better at skiing and shooting. When we would normally be top ten, we will now be top six. Then you quickly blend in on the podium, says the second man in the World Cup summary. Christiansen believes that the national team coach with the very similar surname should have a lot of credit for the fact that the Norwegians are by far the fastest on track. Egil Kristiansen was national team coach for, among others, Marit Bj\u00f8rgen during her heyday, and has taken her training methods with him to the Norwegian biathletes. – What she was successful with, we are successful with. There is no heavy lifting or straining, it is steady training all the way that makes everyone successful. That in combination with the shooting job we do with Siegfried is gold, explains Christiansen. Thingnes B\u00f8 has a total of eleven World Cup victories this season, and thinks that speaks volumes for the good Norwegian results. – Right now we have a good basic form of everyone with good cross-country skiing times. We also shoot well and are good tactically along the way, which means that we often come out victorious from head-to-head situations, concludes the irony. The Biathlon World Cup starts with a mixed relay on Wednesday 8 February. You can watch the championship on TV 2 and news.
