After her surprising booting, Karoline Knotten is once again aimed with hard criticism of the Norwegian biathlon association, which was on the allegations of the World Cup 14. Reacts.
Biathlon star Karoline Knotten once again expressed her lack of understanding about her booting from the Norwegian national team.
In an interview with the Norwegian daily newspaper Verdens Gang, the 30-year-old, who is in a relationship with the German biathlon star Philipp Nawrath, found clear words. The reasons given by the association about discrepancies with regard to training focuses described them as “bullshit”.
Although she agreed to “never had a hundred percent trust in what the coaches say” and always asked “why we do something”. However, this would only have been the case “so that we would get better together”. Therefore, she cannot believe that this was the main reason for the decision of the association.
Knotte has a theory about her boasting
“Everyone realizes that there is something different,” said Knotten, who had completed the past season in 14th place in the overall World Cup. Biathlon icon Ole Einar Björndalen had suspected after the announcement of her exclusion that something had happened behind the scenes.
One of Knotten’s theories about the background of their booting is that they ask those responsible too many uncomfortable questions.
“I was brought up to be an independent athlete,” said the Norwegian. “That’s why I’m so confident today. That’s why I can develop my own plans. I find it all somehow ironic.”
Association reacts to Knotten’s statements
“If the community ( in the team, editor’s note ) becomes stronger that I am not there, then it is not a community for everyone. Then they create a community for those who are the same,” criticized knotting.
With these statements, however, the association in the person of sports director by Arne Botnan remained on the grounds. “We stick to what we said is the main reason,” Botnan was quoted.
“Due to the reviews and feedback we received, we wanted to tighten the rules for training in the training camp. We were dependent on the fact that everyone was hundred and sized,” said the head of the national team.
In April the association announced the biathlete’s booting and already cited the different opinions regarding the main training areas. In detail, it was probably primarily about height training that has been completing knotting for over ten years. However, the association insisted on a standardized plan for all athletes.
When preparing the season, knotting is on its own, only the material still gets it from the association.
Knottes still have opportunities for World Cup starts. In Norway there are a number of athletes who are not in the national squad and still represent the country at international competitions.
Last winter she ran into the top ten five times and made it to the podium at the Sprint of Hochfilzen in December.
