The result puts the 31-year-old foreign minister and People’s Party leader  Sebastian Kurz  in line to become Austria’s next chancellor after a campaign in which he emphasized the need to strengthen border controls  reduce caps on refugees and slash benefits for newcomers.
“I’ll fight with all my strength for change in this country ”  Kurz  told cheering supporters — many clad in turquoise  the color  he  adopted to signal a new era for the People’s Party after decades of identification with black. “There’s a lot to do.”

But unlike in those nations  in Austria the far right is expected to become part of the government.  Kurz  will need a coalition partner to form a majority in the parliament  and the Freedom Party is considered the most likely option.
If  he  goes that route  it would end a “grand coalition” between Austria’s center left and center right that has led the country for the past decade  and for much of its modern history.
Some on Sunday called on  Kurz  to avoid teaming up with the Freedom Party.
“We strongly urge  Mr. Kurz  to form a coalition of centrist parties and not be beholden to a party of the far-right in  his  new coalition government ” European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor said in a statement. “A party which has run on a platform of xenophobic intolerance and the targeting of immigrants must not be granted a seat at the governing table.”
Kern hinted that the party would be willing to serve in a coalition government. But analysts consider such a possibility unlikely given the rightward tilt of the electorate — as well as the bad blood that developed between the two establishment parties after a scandal involving fake Facebook pages that smeared  Kurz  and were attributed to a Social Democratic operative.
The elevation of  Kurz  to chancellor would put another young and charismatic leader at the helm of a European government  after the election of 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron in France.
Kurz  though ideologically to the right of Macron  modeled much of his campaign after the Frenchman’s. The Austrian politician styled his run for the nation’s highest office as a movement  not a conventional election  and personalized his party  informally renaming it “the Sebastian Kurz List.”
Kritzinger said  Kurz ’s opponents were flummoxed by how to counteract the charismatic People’s Party leader  who took the reins in the party this year and promptly remade it as  his  own.
“From a rhetoric perspective   he ’s an absolute talent ” Kritzinger said. “The other parties didn’t know how to deal with  him .”

Q: For his profession   Lowell Bailey  wears a .22 caliber rifle strapped to  his  back. It has taken  him  across the world and to four Olympic Games  most recently to the biathlon mixed relay Tuesday night at Alpensia Biathlon Centre  where  he  skied the anchor leg for a United States team that finished 15th.  His  sport and  his  livelihood revolve around shooting.  His  competitors from other countries often wonder about  his  country's relationship with guns.
Biathlon and mass murder of innocent people share no connective tissue  other than the broadest definition of the tool used. Even understanding that intellectual fact   Bailey  and  his  teammates often experience a visceral need to reconcile the shooting portion of their sport and the destruction guns have caused in their country. They are shooting rifles while representing a country where debates over gun control have once again become a central issue.
Tuesday night  under the lights and in front of a packed grandstand   Bailey  spoke out.
"I support an assault weapons ban  " Bailey  said. "I really do. Our country needs to wake up. Our country needs to change. There's just no excuse. I compete against all of these other World Cup nations â Germany  Norway. How good are they on the range? They're great at rifle marksmanship. Do you know how strict their gun controls law are? It's a travesty America hasn't changed and continues to go down this path. It just makes me want to cry."
"We're really aware we are a firearm sport  that we are a shooting sport " Firesteel Reid said. "A lot of us have pretty strong opinions about this. I think  we  get grouped into a certain type of person  and I don't think any of  us  are that type of person. That has been quite fascinating."
While the rules here are extreme  U.S. gun laws confound biathletes from other countries.  Bailey  said  he  has discussed the U.S. laws with rivals  and mostly they are left at a loss.
"They're absolutely baffled "  Bailey  said. "They're baffled at the political landscape of the United States and how we can continue to put assault weapons in the hands of anyone who wants to walk into a gun store and buy one."
"We're a sport that uses a .22 caliber rifle "  Bailey  said. "A .22 caliber rifle with a bolt action that shoots a single round is a much different thing than an AR-15. In my opinion  there's just no reason for assault rifles to be in the hands of ordinary citizens. I understand the Second Amendment. I appreciate hunting. I appreciate rifle marksmanship. You're talking about rifles. You're talking about targets. You're not talking about weapons that are designed to kill people.

âA little piece of my soul got lost there â  Montgomery   told People. âIt was a horrific day  my world changed as much as the band did. Itâs something that you never get over. Itâs going to be in my mind and my soul for the rest of my life.â
