We love to follow the biathlon athletes on Instagram to keep tabs on what they have going on, but who do they follow? Not so surprisingly, Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen loves the Swedes doing silly stuff. Anna Gandler likes learning from athletes from different sports. Get an inside look at some other biathletes' IG feeds as they spill the beans!

Kristo Siimer - @disappointingaffirmations

When not doing biathlon, Estonian Kristo Simmer likes testing his skills in disc golf, swimming, football, and table tennis. He also has an exquisite preference for other people's Instagram accounts as he follows Dave Tarnowski's Disappointing Affirmations. The account is based on the namesake book, which has an equally disappointing sub-title: Unfollow Your Dreams. The craziest disappointing affirmation? Believe in yourself. No one can fuck things up quite like you.

"This one is good because it is funny, somehow realistic and it will remind me that everybody has the same problems. I also like different art pages. People are so gifted!"

Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen - @sverigesroligastevideor

Norwegians and Swedes have a thing for each other - they like to see the other side doing just a little bit less brilliant than themselves. They love stealing victories from each other - just like Sebastian Samuelsson grabbed a gold medal from Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen in the Men's Relay at the BMW IBU World Championships 2024 in Nove Mesto and just like Vetle then grabbed a Single Mixed Relay win from Sebastian at the Oslo World Cup. Oh, and Vetle loves Swedes when they film themselves doing stupid things! Of course, he does.

"My favourite to follow is this one. It's posting Sweden's funniest videos. Just a joy as a Norwegian watching a Swede doing stupid stuff!"

Hannah Auchentaller - @ole_einar_memedalen

Hannah Auchentaller learned her almost impeccable, Italian-accent-free English by watching Netflix. Her favourite way to follow biathlon season's key events is through memes on the Instagram account with a tricky name: Ole Einar Memedalen. Worth checking out!

"If I can choose any page, it is this one. It is not bad at all!"

Anna Gandler - other athletes

Anna Gandler likes to keep her sporting focus sharp - by following two Swedish superstars.

"I prefer to look at the accounts of exceptional athletes, e.g. Mondo Duplantis or Jutta Leerdam. I like to see how they train, but also the insights they show into their private lives."

Vebjoern Soerum - @themarwanes

For a deep dive into the world of AI, Vebjoern Soerum is the person to ask. You can find him expanding his expertise on Instagram as well, with @themarwanes being his favourite account.

"Right now, I am into AI and its fast growing technology. So I follow an account called @themarwenes, which compares different AI tools and also does a short description of some of the different AI tools out there."

Kelsey Dickinson - accounts empowering women

Kelsey Dickinson is into women's sports and positive thinking. Perhaps Kristo Simmer might want to have a look?

"Oh, I have a few: @togethxr - it highlights women in sport, @theonearmdan and @allie_ostrander. I personally love hearing the stories of women athletes going for it, but also being true to themselves and taking care of themselves. I love hearing stories from marginalised voices."
