Sjåstad Christiansen was born inGeilo, a centre in the municipality ofHol, to Randi Sjåstad and her husband, Georg William Christiansen. His younger sister,Tiril Sjåstad Christiansen, is a successful freestyle skier.[1]
Sjåstad Christiansen began his career by racing in biathlon and cross-country skiing as a junior on the national level. In his youth, his greatest idol wasOle Einar Bjørndalen. Sjåstad Christiansen learned much about how to train from literature of and about Bjørndalen, and was inspired by Bjørndalen's training mentality, and started training a lot and hard from a very early age. On the last day of the2004 World Championships, Sjåstad Christiansen set a long-term goal of qualifying for the2014 Winter Olympics.[2] In 2008, Sjåstad Christiansen entered the Norwegian College of Elite Sport inGeilo.[3][4]

Before turning 17, Sjåstad Christiansen had made a clean sweep at the Junior Norwegian Championships in his age group, winning four gold medals and the Norwegian Biathlon Cup (Norgescupen) in his age category, called the Statkraft Junior Cup overall.[5][6] He had also won two golds in the Junior Norwegian Summer Biathlon Championships in September 2008, in the 17-year-olds age group.[7][8] At the end of the 2008–09 season, Sjåstad Christiansen participated in the2009 Norwegian Biathlon Championships. He did not participate in the 20 km individual,[9] but finished 17th in the sprint and 8th in the pursuit.[10][11] This caused Sjåstad Christiansen to be selected for the first team of Buskerud alongsideChristian Georg Bache,Frode Andresen and Ole Einar Bjørndalen. Though he incurred a penalty loop, he made up two places over his leg, and good work by Andresen and Bjørndalen secured the gold.[12]
During the off-season, Sjåstad Christiansen participated in the Junior Norwegian Summer Championships, in the age group for 18-year-olds. He won silver in the sprint and gold in the pursuit.[13][14] When the winter came, Sjåstad Christiansen debuted at theJunior/Youth World Championships in2010 inTorsby, competing in the youth class. The first event was the 12.5 km individual on 27 January, in which he received three penalty minutes but still won bronze.[15] Three days later, Sjåstad Christiansen won another bronze, this time in the 7.5 km sprint.[16] The next day, Sjåstad Christiansen fell two places and finished fifth.[17] Two days later, Sjåstad Christiansen raced in the 3 × 7.5 km relay, taking the anchor leg. Sjåstad Christiansen started his leg in third position and kept that position until the end, and the team thus won bronze.[18] Later in February, Sjåstad Christiansen participated in the Junior Norwegian Championships. He won gold in the individual, came fourth in the sprint, and won silver in the relay.[19][20][21] At the end of the season, Sjåstad Christiansen participated in theNorwegian Championships at Simostranda. He did not race in the individual,[22] but came 11th in the sprint and 13th in the mass start.[23][24] In the relay, Sjåstad Christiansen took the first leg for the first team of Buskerud. He changed in third, but a total of five penalty loops by his teammates,Anders Brun Hennum, Bache and Andresen, meant they finished in fifth.[25]
In September 2010, Sjåstad Christiansen competed in the Junior Norwegian Summer Championships in the age group for 19-year-olds. He came second in both the sprint and pursuit.[26][27] In January 2011, Sjåstad Christiansen again competed in theJunior/Youth World Championships, this time inNové Město, competing in the youth class. The first event was the 7.5 km sprint on 29 January, in which he received two penalties and won silver.[28] The following day, Sjåstad Christiansen started eighteen seconds behindMaxim Tsvetkov. He missed four times but still won silver, thirty seconds behind Tsvetkov.[29] Two days later, Sjåstad Christiansen raced in the 12.5 km individual in which he incurred three penalty minutes, and yet won bronze.[30] Norway did not participate in the relay in the youth category,[31] but Sjåstad Christiansen was selected for team that raced in the junior category. Sjåstad Christiansen took the anchor leg. At the exchange, the Norwegians were in third position, Sjåstad Christiansen defended that position, and the Norwegians won bronze.[32] In March, Sjåstad Christiansen participated Junior Norwegian Championships. He won gold in the individual, came sixth in the sprint, but returned to the top of the podium in the relay.[33][34][35] At the end of the season, Sjåstad Christiansen participated in the2011 Norwegian Championships. He again skipped the individual,[36] but came 13th in the sprint and 8th in the pursuit.[37][38] In the relay, he again took the first leg and changed in fourth place. Fast skiing and good shooting by his teammates, Andresen, Hennum, and the returning Bjørndalen, meant that the team from Buskerud again won gold, more than two minutes ahead of second place.[39]
In September 2011, Sjåstad Christiansen competed in the Junior Norwegian Summer Championships in the age group for 20- and 21-year-olds. He came eighth in the sprint but climbed to claim gold in the pursuit.[40][41] In January 2012, Sjåstad Christiansen debuted in theJunior European Championships inBrezno-Osrblie. In the first event, the 10 km sprint on 27 January, he missed once but still won gold, just one second ahead ofAlexandr Loginov.[42] Two days later, Sjåstad Christiansen won silver in the 12.5 km pursuit, 23.5 seconds behind Loginov, despite both having missed twice.[43] The next event was the mixed relay in which Sjåstad Christiansen took the anchor leg. The Norwegians led at the last exchange, and as Sjåstad Christiansen needed only two spare rounds to clear the targets, they won gold.[44] He also participated in the last event, the 15 km individual. He missed twice but still won bronze, thanks to quick ski speed.[45] Sjåstad Christiansen competed in theJunior/Youth World Championships in 2012 as well, this time inKontiolahti, competing in the junior category. The first event was the 15 km individual on 21 February. He skied quickly but missed six times and finished 16th.[46] Two days later, Sjåstad Christiansen raced in the relay, once again taking the anchor leg. The Norwegian team led the race at the last exchange, Sjåstad Christiansen defended their lead, and the Norwegians won gold.[47] The next race, two days later, was the 10 km sprint. Sjåstad Christiansen missed twice and finished 13th.[48] Sjåstad Christiansen skied better in the pursuit the following day, where he missed twice but climbed eleven places to win silver just ahead ofAlexandr Loginov, and over one minute and forty seconds behind the sprint winner Tsvetkov.[49] In March, Sjåstad Christiansen raced in the Junior Norwegian Championships, winning silver in the individual and gold in the sprint and finishing fourth in the relay.[50][51][52] At the season's end, Sjåstad Christiansen participated in theNorwegian Championships in Trondheim. He came 13th in the 20 km individual and 9th in the 10 km sprint but skipped the mass start.[53][54][55] He then took the anchor leg in the relay. Andresen, Tommi Luchsinger, andErlend Bjøntegaard had pulled Buskerud I into fourth position, and Sjåstad Christiansen was the fastest in his leg, pulling them into second, winning silver.[56]
In September 2012, Sjåstad Christiansen competed at the Norwegian Summer Biathlon Championships inHolmenkollen for the first time in the senior group. He impressed by winning bronze, just 6.8 seconds behindLars Berger, who won silver and one minute and ten seconds behind Bjørndalen.[57] Sjåstad Christiansen won another bronze the next day, though the gap to Berger and Bjørndalen had grown to 18 seconds, and two minutes and 49 seconds, respectively.[58] In the first round of the2012–13 World Cup, on 1 December 2012, Sjåstad Christiansen made hisWorld Cup debut.[59] The race was the 10 km sprint, and he missed twice and finished 27th, 1 minute and 18 seconds behind the winner, the CanadianJean-Philippe Leguellec, qualifying for the pursuit the following day.[60] Over the rest of the season, he would race in ten more races breaking three more barriers. First, inHochfilzen in his fifth World Cup race and first relay, Sjåstad Christiansen also won his first relay. He raced alongside fellow newcomersLars Helge Birkeland andHenrik L'Abée-Lund, both having clocked in less than twenty World Cup races, and the veteranOle Einar Bjørndalen, who had raced more than 460 World Cup races. Birkeland shot fast and cleanly in the first leg to hand over to Bjørndalen just 9.8 seconds behind, in fourth place. Bjørndalen would require only one spare round, which, combined with his swift shooting and skiing, brought the Norwegians the lead. At the second exchange, Bjørndalen handed over to Sjåstad Christiansen, 6.0 seconds ahead of the Czech Republic. Sjåstad Christiansen skied fast and shot cleanly, and this, combined with mistakes by other teams, increased the lead to 47.0 seconds. L'Abée-Lund took the anchor leg. Also, he shot fast and cleanly, compensating in large part for his skiing speed. The Norwegians won 34.5 seconds ahead of France in second and 46.6 seconds ahead of Russia in third.[61]
Sjåstad Christiansen participated only briefly in theJunior/Youth World Championships in 2013 inObertilliach. The championships started for Sjåstad Christiansen with the 10 km sprint event. He shot cleanly, but he finished outside the podium in fourth position.[62] He did not start in the pursuit, nor did he enter any more events in the championships.[63][64][65] Sjåstad Christiansen participated in theEuropean Championships the following month. In the first race, Sjåstad Christiansen and his fellow Norwegians were not acclimatized. Thus, Sjåstad Christiansen finished 18th in the 20 km individual, despite missing only once.[66] The next race, the 10 km sprint, was postponed twice due to heavy fog, giving the Norwegians two extra days to acclimatize. This allowed Sjåstad Christiansen to pick up his pace and win the gold in the sprint, shooting clear.[67][68] The pursuit competition crashed with the men's relay, with the result being that the relay was cancelled. Sjåstad Christiansen won silver in the pursuit, having missed three times, the same amount as the winner,Benedikt Doll.[69]
The second barrier Sjåstad Christiansen broke in the World Cup was finishing in the top ten in an individual race. That race was the season's last sprint inKhanty-Mansiysk. Sjåstad Christiansen shot cleanly and finished tenth, one minute and four seconds behind the winner,Martin Fourcade.[70] This result, alongside the 11th-place finish in the pursuit, qualified Sjåstad Christiansen for his first mass start in the World Cup, breaking another barrier.[71][72] The season was thus a remarkable success, with Sjåstad Christiansen mostly finishing in the top 30 individually, and finished 43rd overall in the World Cup.[59] The season ended with theNorwegian Championships in Dombås. Sjåstad Christiansen came tenth in the individual, having missed five times, and fifth in the sprint despite having missed four times.[73][74] Sjåstad Christiansen then came fourth in the pursuit, having lost the bronze in a sprint finish withLars Berger.[75] In the relay, he took the anchor leg, lifting the team from Buskerud from sixth to third, winning bronze.[76]
On 3 April 2013, Sjåstad Christiansen was selected to the elite team for the first time, being selected alongsideOle Einar Bjørndalen,Johannes Thingnes Bø,Tarjei Bø, fellow newcomerHenrik L'Abée-Lund, andEmil Hegle Svendsen.[77] At the Norwegian Summer Championships in Mo i Rana, Sjåstad Christiansen won silver in both the sprint and pursuit, behind Svendsen in the sprint and Bjørndalen in the pursuit.[78][79] In November, Sjåstad Christiansen participated in the traditional qualifying races atSjusjøen. Sjåstad Christiansen finished a disappointing 32nd in the 10 km sprint, but secured World Cup participation by coming second in the 15 km mass start, just 4.9 seconds behind Bjørndalen.[80][81][82] Sjåstad Christiansen helped the Norwegians finish in second place in the opening mixed relay of the season inÖstersund.[83] In the individual and sprint, he came 16th and 29th, being the best Norwegian in the individual.[84][85] In Hochfilzen, he performed badly in the sprint, missing three times and finishing 53rd.[86] He was nevertheless given the first leg in the relay the next day. He skied fast but needed four spare rounds and changed 31.4 seconds behind the leader. However, Bjørndalen claimed the lead on the second leg, and Tarjei Bø and Svendsen defended that lead, meaning that Sjåstad Christiansen got his second relay victory.[87] The following day, Sjåstad Christiansen climbed more than twenty places, finishing 31st.[88] He skipped the third round of the World Cup but competed in the fourth round, finishing 15th in the sprint, his best individual finish of the season.[89] He faltered in the pursuit, however, and finished 35th.[90] He was not qualified for the mass start, and his next competition was the relay inRuhpolding. However, Johannes Thingnes Bø incurred three penalty loops on the first leg and changed to his brother in 22nd place. Tarjei Bø climbed to 14th, and Sjåstad Christiansen raced a decent leg, climbing to 10th. Svendsen then secured the Norwegians a ninth place.[91] In the following 20 km individual, Sjåstad Christiansen shot well but skied rather slowly and finished 56th and decided not to start in the pursuit.[92][93] He was nevertheless selected for the Olympic squad, albeit as a reserve for the relay, fulfilling his long-term goal. He did not race inAntholz-Anterselva, and did not get to race in any races at the Olympics.[59] In Pokljuka, in the first World Cup round after the Olympics, Sjåstad Christiansen finished 64th in the 10 km sprint and thus did not qualify for the pursuit.[94] He was not qualified for the mass start either. He did not race in the next round of the World Cup but returned for the last round of races at Holmenkollen.[59] There, he finished 41st in both the sprint and the pursuit.[95][96] To end the season Sjåstad Christiansen participated in the2014 Norwegian Championships. In the 20 km individual and the 10 km sprint, Sjåstad Christiansen came 7th, winning silver in the 15 km mass start.[97][98][99] In the relay, the Buskerud team suffered in the absence of the ill Bjørndalen and the retired Andresen, and finished sixth.[100]
Sjåstad Christiansen was reselected before the2014–15 season, the whole team being reselected.[101] In September, Sjåstad Christiansen competed at the Norwegian Summer Championships in Steinkjer. There, he came sixth in both the sprint and the pursuit.[102][103] At the season start races atSjusjøen, Vetle came third in the sprint but came 17th in the mass start.[104][105] He was selected for the mixed relay and individual in Östersund, with a chance of getting the last place in the sprint.[106] In the mixed relay, Sjåstad Christiansen again helped the Norwegians to a second-place finish.[107] In the individual, he finished a disappointing 53rd but was still given the last spot in the sprint due toLars Helge Birkeland finishing 84th.[108] In the sprint, Sjåstad Christiansen finished 45th despite missing only once, but he climbed thirty places in the pursuit by being the only one to hit all twenty targets, and finished 15th.[109][110] Sjåstad Christiansen's results in Östersund were below expectations, and he was not selected for the second round of the World Cup.[111] He returned in the last round before the Christmas break and delivered better results by finishing 30th in the sprint and 39th in the pursuit.[112][113] However, he was not selected for the World Cups in Oberhof and Ruhpolding, but after both Tarjei Bø and Emil Hegle Svendsen fell ill, he was needed for the relay and sprint in Oberhof.[114][115] He took the first leg in the relay, changing in fourth place. The rest of the team,Alexander Os, Johannes Thingnes Bø, and Ole Einar Bjørndalen, gained the lead, but victory was snatched in a sprint finish withAnton Shipulin, and so the Norwegians finished second.[116] Sjåstad Christiansen finished 67th in the sprint and decided to return to Norway for a medical examination, having been feeling tired for some time.[117] It was revealed that he had been affected in some way by theRhinovirus, but he remained unable to compete and train properly for the next six months.[118]
