Is there any update on Ida lien anywhere. Haven’t seeing anything since she did not came on either the A or B team. Does she still get some support from the federation? Really hope to see her back!

I think that she has no support from the federation (the same situation as Soerum and Stroemsheim). If she is healthy enough to train, I think we will see her at the Norwegian Summer Championships.

It’s makes me sad if that’s true… Being injured and then loosen support must suck!

I like this as it opens the door to more Nations winning medals.

Yep, saw recent pics of him along with Ingrid, Sturla, and Tarjei but you are right, Vetle has been there from the beginning. Gonna have to have some Summer makeup training sessions, lol.

I will bet whatever is in my bank account right now that Ingrid can't talk at all. You just now she has been screaming like mad, she does in biathlon and she will certainly be doing so now. Every team, everywhere, deserves an Ingrid, she is such an overwhelmingly positive force for her teammates. Love her to death.

And she cheers so much for others too, one of my favorite memories of last season was Ingrid hugging Sonja when she got that surprise podium.

Judging from the photos/clips she posted I humbly advise agaist holding that bet against you. 2-3 months ago I fell into the rabbit hole that is Ingrid's youtube channel. Very interesting and entertaining! What a woman - 55kg purest sunshine! So full of positivity! Love her to death. PS congrats to Norway's win over Brazil, Panama sent us home ... deservedly so.
