Norway has not submitted a bid to host the 2027 Biathlon World Cup.
Now, superstar Johannes Thingens Poe saw his own association.
Do they want to retire prematurely?
Norway is the biggest strength factor in biathlon and Holmenkollen is a classic in the sport.
But there will be no home tournament for the Norwegian stars.
The Norwegian Federation ignored the application to WC 2027 – after a communication error with the municipality of Oslo.
NRK reports that there is a complete break in the dialogue between the municipality and the union, which are now blaming each other.

The result could be that superstar Johannes Thingness Poe prematurely quits.
The 29-year-old previously announced that the 2026 Olympics could be his last major tournament – unless Norway takes the World Cup on home soil the following year.
So they don’t understand it.
Because they didn’t even apply.
WC 2027 would have been a perfect ending point for me. But maybe the union wants to retire me prematurely? Bö tells NRK.
Ingrid Landmark Tandrifold is also disappointed.
– The World Cup at home is my biggest dream to experience, she says.
War of Words: “Just a Petty”
The reason why the union did not advance to the championship was, according to themselves, that the municipality gave indications that they would not have time to expand Holmenkollen, which should have been a condition for them to be able to advance.
This is not true at all, according to Mayor Omar Gamal.
– He says it’s pointless to blame us.
The 2027 World Cup will be held either in Otepää, Estonia, or Kontiolax, Finland.
