Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen expressed frustration following a recent rule change by the International Biathlon Union (IBU), which initially rejected his modifications to his rifle's magazine placement. Christiansen argued that his adjustments would allow for quicker loading and faster shooting times. After discussions with the IBU, he received favorable feedback on a revised proposal that would permit certain modifications, alleviating some of his concerns. Despite the initial setbacks, Christiansen is hopeful that these changes will enhance his performance this coming season.
