EDITORIAL A Season Like No Other Photography (Cover): Christian Manzoni and Petr Slavik At the end of the last shooting in one of the most fascinating seasons in recent history, Dorothea Wierer and JT Boe clinched their respective BMW IBU World Cup Total Score titles while the unprecedented spread of COVID-19 put a halt to the world, including the world of sports, just as biathlon was experiencing a great upswing. Wierer kept fighting even when the odds were stacked against her, as in the mass start at Annecy-Le Grand Bornand, where the Norwegians had explosive skis; in the Ruhpolding sprint, where her back pain overwhelmed her; in the individual at the IBU World Championships in Antholz-Anterselva, where she pushed her energy levels deep into the red while chasing gold; and then again in the Kontiolahti pursuit, where she was in a losing position but pushed in the fourth loop just to see what the last shooting might bring—and it brought her the smallest of opportunities, which she grabbed and brought safely over the finish line. In the most defining moment of her career, Wierer shined at her home World Championships, winning two golds and two silvers. There was one athlete who did even better: Marte Olsbu Roeiseland won 7 out of 7 available medals, five of them gold, in what was the best performance ever at the IBU World Championships. Truth be told, Laura Dahlmeier didn’t have a chance to reach seven in her 6/6 in Hochfilzen 2017, because the Single Mixed Relay premiered in Oestersund 2019 as the seventh discipline. JT Boe formed and executed a plan like no one ever had before him: enjoy Trimester 1 and win as much as possible; take a paternal break and see how others seize the opportunity; come back as soon as possible in Trimester 2, after his wife and newborn son are well, to restore his authority, which he did in his individual win in Pokljuka; use the IBU World Championships to add further medals to an already impressive collection and close his gap to the Total Score leader at the time, Martin Fourcade; and then live day by day, winning everything until the end of the season, and see whom the biathlon gods smile upon. And they did a particularly good job, the biathlon gods, in the last competition of the season, which was also the last in the absolutely outstanding career of Fourcade. The Grand Master went for broke in the yellow bib, since he needed to win with JT finishing fifth or lower in order to retain the lead. However, something more appropriate happened: Fourcade won the competition (in yellow) and his teammates Quentin Fillon-Maillet and Emilien Jacquelin finished second and third, assuring Fourcade that his legacy will be built upon, while JT found his shooting form in the last standing, shot 5/5 and finished fourth, a very worthy winner of the Total Score. As Fourcade waved goodbye in Kontiolahti, the place where he won his first and last competitions in the BMW IBU World Cup, the home hero and wildly popular Kaisa Makarainen also called it a career. She didn’t have the season she wished for, but that pales in comparison to the list of her numerous achievements. We cannot predict the future or how long it will be before our lives return to normal after COVID-19, but we hope to overcome these challenges and deliver a fantastic and safe 2020/2021 season.
