Biathlon bang effect
“Not good enough!” Norwegian harshly sorted out
A bang for the buck in Norway's biathlon team: Johannes Dale-Skjevdal, third overall in the World Cup last season, was harshly dropped from the World Cup squad due to poor performances. He will be replaced by Martin Uldal.
Johannes Dale-Skjevdal certainly had a very different idea! In the individual event in Kontiolahti, Finland, he completely disappointed with 63rd place at the weekend. He also failed to impress in the sprint and mass start, finishing 23rd and 21st respectively.
"Of course I hope that Johannes shows good races. He is probably most disappointed in himself because he is not able to show what he is good at. He's had a few races now where he hasn't been good," team manager Per-Arne Botnan told TV2. The 27-year-old has simply "not been good enough".
"... then that's not very motivating"
"The sport is brutal. It can be really good fun, but when things go badly, it's not very motivating," Dale also struggled with his performances. "We'll see what the future brings." For now, he'll have to watch in the World Cup.
