What's happening this weekend in the world of winter sports?

The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 may be over, but there is still plenty of exhilarating winter sports action going on around the globe as World Cup action continues this weekend!

From biathlon races in Norway to multiple snowboard events in Switzerland, Germany and the Czech Republic, here are a few of the major events taking place this week.

Marte Olsbu Roeiseland is on the verge of capturing her first overall World Cup title entering the final weekend of competition in Norway. With just three races to go, the 31-year-old leads the overall (807 points), sprint (364 points) and pursuit (326 points) standings. After capturing five medals at Beijing 2022 (including gold in the sprint, pursuit and mixed relay competitions), can the 11-time world champion add to her incredible CV with World Cup triumphs in all three categories?

The overall World Cup title has already been decided in the men's competition after Quentin Fillon Maillet finished in second place in the mass start race in Otepaa, Estonia last weekend. After winning the 10km sprint event two days earlier, Maillet only needed to finish in the top 23 of the mass start event to lift the main title. In addition to becoming the first French athlete and the first biathlete to win five medals in a single edition of the Olympic Winter Games (which he achieved at Beijing 2022), Maillet is now the fourth French male athlete to claim the overall World Cup title.

Maillet's compatriot Émilien Jacquelin is currently in second place in the overall standings, with double Olympic medallist Sebastian Samuelsson of Sweden in third.

The final events in the snowboard cross, parallel, and mixed team parallel competitions of the 2021/22 FIS Snowboard World Cup will take place this
