Between vacation and training start

On the cusp of the new training season, we're taking a look around social media to see who is back at the range - and who is savouring the last days and weeks of the off-season.

01 May always marks a turning point in the year - at least in theory. Out with the old season, in with the new training year.

While some athletes are already back at the shooting range, on skis or roller skis, some others are still in vacation mode to recover from a long season. We've taken a look around at the athletes' Instagram profiles.
