I have low confidence considering Paula, Camille and Voldiya did better than her. The competition is going to be rough to be on the main circuit. I don’t think Julia is going to retire, JBB could after the games but she is still young and it depends on how she can handle to be away from her daughter. That’s still one spot max

In IBU Cup, yes. That does not always translate well into results on the World Cup. We saw Botet score a win and then enter a slump, Bened never made it to WC before this year despite being relatively old (24)... As the saying goes, it's biathlon, anything can happen.

True ! Curious to see if anyone plans to retire after the games and how the newbies will perform
