Elvira Öberg Ill with a Cold – to Miss Antholz

Elvira Öberg will miss the upcoming competitions in Antholz. The biathlon star is struggling with illness symptoms. "I am not willing to risk my health at this stage of the season", she writes on her Instagram account.

She writes further:

"It's very unlikely that I'll compete at all this week".

"I'm devastated about this, but the only thing I can do now is focus on resting".

This week's competitions in Antholz, Italy, are the last before the World Championship – but now it's almost certain that the overall third in the World Cup won't start in Thursday's sprint.

She doesn't feel completely well, says the Swedish national team's press officer Emma Höglund to DN in connection with Wednesday's training.

In three weeks, the Biathlon World Championship begins in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
