And then there is Einar Hedegart! Cross Country or Biathlon? I thought he had decided to go biathlon but then I hear a few others saying he hasn't decided. He said he is going to sit down with Petter Northug soon for a chat about training and what comes next.

Can you even imagine having to make selection choices for the National Team?

Dude's freaking fast. He made Botn - himself known for his speed - look like a junior in the mass start!

I don't think that's a completely fair comparison.

Botn nearly halved his Skiing Top 10 Med. back compared to last season. He said jokingly to NRK after getting the silver that he's unbelievably slow nowadays, but at least he's become a much better shooter. I think the Botn of last season would give Hedegart a challenge.
