Per Nilsson has been the head coach of the German national cross-country skiing team and personal trainer to Frida Karlsson for the past four years.
"We are working long-term and purposefully to ensure strong regrowth and our 'strategy 2031' places great focus on long-term development of the entire organisation. That's why it feels absolutely right," says Rikard Grip, Secretary General of the Swedish Biathlon Association.
Per Nilsson's role is to "create the best possible conditions for the next generation of biathletes," the federation said in a press release. In this role, cooperation between the federation's various national teams will also be strengthened.
