Record Olympic champion rails against controversial wax ban ahead of Biathlon World Cup. There is no snow in Nove Mesto, only the routes in the Vysocina Arena are prepared with artificial snow.
According to the forecasts, there will be significantly plus temperatures, and as of now, it won't be really cold in the second week either. The World Biathlon Federation announced that there is no Plan B, as the snow depots are well filled. For biathlon icon Dorothea Wierer it could be the last big highlight of her career; she recently left her future open.
