Biathlon-NorAm-Cup 2007/08

The biathlon NorAm Cup 2007/08 will be just as it did before as a base for the seasons 2007-08 Biathlon World Cup hosts. The racing series is mostly used by Canadian and US biathletes. It was carried out in eight events with mostly two races including the North American Championships in Biathlon 2008 .

In contrast to the World Cup and the Biathlon European Cup , the starting fields, especially for women, are not very large. In many cases, individual athletes only run individual races, partly because athletes have recommended themselves for races in Europe and then start there, or because not all top athletes were always sent to the individual competitions. Above all, the Canadian federation did not always send the top runners to the races in the USA, which is why the competitions were mostly dominated by US biathletes, although the Canadian team was rated as stronger. In the end, 43 biathletes were able to place themselves in the women’s category, the US-American Denise Teela won the overall standings, 86 starters made it into the points’s category and an US-American, Jesse Downs , also won the overall standings . In addition, young starters in particular often switched between junior and senior races.
