The first week in Kontiolahti has seen stunning performances - and just like last year you, the fans, decide who will be the athlete of the week!

Your nominees after the first stage of the BMW IBU World Cup are Lisa Vittozzi (ITA), Julia Simon (FRA), Johannes Thingnes Boe (NOR) and Niklas Hartweg (SUI) - narrowing it down to four names is tough but voting for your favourite might be even tougher.

Voting closes on Monday 12:00 (CET)! Subscribe to our "This Week In Biathlon" Newsletter to find out who has won.
