Linn Gestblom made a strong comeback in the mixed relay in Östersund. This week she will also compete individually in the Biathlon World Cup. The Värmlandska has been selected for the competitions in Hochfilzen.
SportsHe who waits for something good never waits too long. Elvira Öberg grabbed her first World Championship gold in her career, when she won the mass start in Swiss Lenzerheide. It's completely incredible, I didn't think it was possible today, she says to SVT.
SportsShe became ill and missed almost the entire World Championship two years ago. And this year, she became ill ahead of the World Championship preparations. Now, Elvira Öberg has finally taken her first individual World Championship medal, silver in pursuit, and happiest of all is her sister Hanna. I know how much she has struggled and had setbacks in the World Championship, says Hanna Öberg and wipes away tears of joy.
SportsNow it is clear who will get the last spots on the team for the Biathlon World Championship. The trio Anna-Karin Heijdenberg, Johanna Skottheim and Emil Nykvist have been selected for the championship.
SportsThe cold before the season start caused trouble for Hanna Öberg in the first competitions. The extra break she got during Christmas hopes she in return will give her a boost towards the World Championship. I believe in a positive spiral towards the World Championship, she says.
SportsHanna Öberg was in the form of her life when she fell ill before the season started. After interrupting her competitions and going home, the national team coach hopes that the biathlon star will find her form ahead of the World Championship. It's about giving the body the time it needs and then making a smart build-up, says Johannes Lukas.
SportsElvira Öberg does as usual and starts the biathlon season strongly. To be able to maintain her form and be in the fight for the World Championship title, she has looked at the men. Upper body strength is what separates female and male biathletes. So that's what I've focused more on, she says.
