With a top spot in the World Cup and only a short month to prepare for the World Championship. Elvira Öberg has a luxury problem and is forced to have two thoughts in her head at the same time until the World Championship. It's like having a double focus, says the biathlon star.
SportsBombs and tough in the sprint. Hits and revenge in the pursuit. It's one of the best races I've done in my career, says Elvira Öberg, who climbed from 37th place and finished third in German Oberhof.
SportsFrance dominated the World Cup sprint completely. But behind that, Martin Ponsiluoma finally had a decent biathlon competition. Today I'm satisfied. It was very tough out there, says the 29-year-old, who with his 12th place became the best Swedish.
SportsThe shooting debacle culminated in the last competition before Christmas when Martin Ponsiluoma shot ten zeros and came last. Ahead of the restart in the World Championship, he hopes to have broken the negative spiral. I put the rifle aside for a few days to find the enthusiasm again, he says.
SportsIt was a Swedish fiasco in the biathlon sprint in Oberhof. The best Swedish athlete was Elvira Öberg, who came in 37th place. Extremely disappointing that it turns out like this, she says.
SportsSix biathletes fell ill during the Christmas break and are uncertain about their form for this week's competitions in Oberhof. But no one is worried considering that the World Championship is a month away. No, we're not. It's probably meant to be that you get sick at Christmas, says Sebastian Samuelsson.
SportsIngrid Landmark Tandrevold was operated on for heart rhythm disturbances just before Christmas. Three weeks later, the Norwegian biathlete is back. She will participate in Thursday's sprint in the World Championship Cup in Oberhof.
SportsHanna Öberg is back in the biathlon national team that competes in the World Cup in Oberhof this week. "Some active athletes have been ill during Christmas and had to adjust their training, but now all selected skiers are healthy and ready for the year's first competitions," says the national team's head coach Johannes Lukas in a press release.
