Elvira Öberg had a slight cold before the World Cup premiere in Östersund and withdrew from the first weekend's relays. After the pursuit start on Sunday, the cold came back - untimely for the upcoming competitions in Hochfilzen, Austria.
It's not an optimal recharge, of course. I had to take an extra day off and haven't really been able to do what I wanted to. I'm starting to get tired of thinking about how I feel or not, she says at a digital press conference.
But I was able to train yesterday and today and the plan is to race tomorrow.
On Friday, there is a sprint on the program, followed by a relay on Saturday and a pursuit start on Sunday for the women. The men have the opposite program this weekend.
