Baby news from Björndalen and Domratschewa: Little daughter on the way
The imprint “little sister” on the onesie leaves no doubt as to the gender of the offspring. But the athletes, who have been married since 2016, have not yet come up with a name. “This is difficult. We’ll have to use the next few days to come up with one. We have a lot of options,” Björndalen explained in an interview with Norwegian broadcaster TV2.
“We are very happy,” announces the eight-time Olympic biathlon champion. He already has a daughter with Domratschewa: Xenia, who was born in 2016. The six-year-old firstborn is already looking forward to being a big sister soon, as Domratschewa told TV2. So far everything is going according to plan.
