Overview
- The squad has returned to the Lavazè hotel for a high-altitude Olympic training camp, with biathlon events scheduled in Antholz in February.
- A psychologist is traveling with the team to provide mental-health support after the December 23 loss of Sivert Guttorm Bakken, 27.
- Sturla Holm Lægreid described a difficult first day back, initially avoiding Bakken’s corridor before choosing to confront the setting.
- Bakken’s hotel room remains sealed, and some teammates hope to see it later when access is permitted.
- Authorities continue to investigate the death, including the unresolved question of why Bakken wore a hypoxia mask, as the team considers a memorial plaque on the mountain.
