"Depending on how her cold symptoms develop during the week, it may become relevant for Ella to come to Oslo at the end of the week to compete in the final mass start", writes the Swedish Biathlon Federation in a press release.

The 25-year-old Halvarsson expressed her frustration after last week's short distance race in Pokljuka about not being at the top, and opened up to the possibility of ending the season.

It may not be so smart to compete without having trained anything. At the same time, you want to be here because it's fun to compete, but when it's like this, it's not fun anymore, she said then.

The competition in Holmenkollen concludes the World Cup season and otherwise, Sweden is sending a team that has competed in recent weeks, including Elvira Öberg's name. The star skipped the competitions in Nove Mesto due to illness but was last seen in Pokljuka and ran the mass start.

The competitions in Oslo start on Friday with the sprint.
