Successful Swede Ella Halvarsson gets, after her sensational World Championship silver, the chance for Sweden in the single mixed relay. There, she forms a pair with experienced Sebastian Samuelsson. If she doesn't get the chance now, when will she get the chance? says national team coach Johannes Lukas.
SportsIllnesses and a bicycle accident delayed her place in the national team. But after the sensational World Cup debut, Ella Halvarsson has also gotten rid of her nausea. Nice, because you don't feel good, she says ahead of her World Championship debut in Friday's sprint in Lenzerheide.
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.
SportsThe Norwegian sensation Martin Uldal won the biathlon sprint ahead of his compatriot Johannes Thingnes Bø. I hate Norway. I don't rejoice that much with my Norwegian friends, says third-placed Samuelsson to SVT and laughs.
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.
SportsA few too many misses, a bit too slow skiing – but still a podium finish. The Swedish biathlon ladies deliver even on a day when not everything goes according to plan. We are a strong team regardless of who we put on the starting line, says Elvira Öberg after the third place in the relay.
SportsHanna Öberg has not been recognizable during the World Championship leadership. Now she is left out of Sunday's relay team in Hochfilzen – and for SVT she confirms that she will opt out of the competitions in France next weekend. As it is right now, I don't feel that it's super fun to compete, she says to the channel.
