why some say that Bjoerndalen has won the Biathlon overall World Cup in 1997-1998? Is it so or not? And why season 1996-1997 is not mentioned anywhere - who won then?
I've updated the podium stats from before the olympics started, adding the two 2nd and one 3rd he had in the OL. The eurosport commentators say that the results in the olympics do also count towards the world cup, so that's why i did it. Thorml 19:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
I've updated this page twice now with his current IBU world cup standings, but when i go to the page it's gone back to how it was, as if i've not done anything, what's wrong with this thing?! Thorml 21:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I've taken away the two olympic second places from his podium stats, becuase the IBU's website hasn't included them, and as they're the authority i'll keep to their stats. Thorml 01:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
This statement is just plain wrong: 'Sven Fischer (and German skiers in general), who struggle and are more comfortable on fairly flat courses, such as Östersund, and Ruhpolding' Traditionally, the Germans are power skiers, who do best on the steepest hills, and do worse on long, gentle climbs. Ruhpolding is about as brutal as it gets, and suits the German style very well. Duncanbourne 16:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tone
Currently, the article reads like a news-story, with too many bombastic words, and too much trivia (equipment?). I really admire Bjørndalen, and he's the most successful biathlete ever (likely, for the far future). However, it's sufficient to demonstrate it by listing his achievements, not by repeating "incredibly", "extremely", "best", in every sentence. Besides, there's too much trivia in the article, and the order of headings is wrong; the history goes upside down. Etc. Duja► 10:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
