The eight-time Olympic champion Ole-Einar Bjoerndalen will become part of the Belarus national team at the Winter Games in South Korea, he said in an interview with the Norwegian media. It's not about participating in competitions, but about moral support. The king of biathlon from Norway could not get a license for the Olympics, but the "queen of biathlon" the Belarusian Daria Domracheva will go there. A 44-year-old athlete was very upset because of missing his seventh Olympiad, and even refused from the European Championship. As he said, the family has helped him to overcome the disappointment.
