After the long, snowless summer, The Biathlon Podcast is back to wrangle through the biggest questions in Biathlon before the season starts on Saturday.

Reaction to the shock news of Arnd Peiffer’s retirement, where does that leave the German men’s team? Also a look at the betting lines for Fridays Sprints.
