However, it was no great surprise within the Swedish national biathlon team that Nilsson chooses to leave after four years in the sport. But the exact timing of the announcement came like a bolt from the blue.
– It’s exciting. She has always said that this is on g at some point. Then I wasn’t prepared for it to come now, but it will be fun to see. If she takes on something, she does it to the fullest so it will be fun to follow, says Elvira to SVT.
Öberg’s first words
Stina Nilsson has already signed a two-year contract with the Norwegian star team Team Ragde Charge and will start competing in Ski Classics this coming winter.
– As a person, I am one hundred percent one way or the other and when I feel ready with it, which I did after I made the decision, it has been like closing a book and opening a new one, she says herself about the decision to changing sports for the second time in his career.

Hanna Öberg is extremely impressed by Nilsson’s courage and always listening to his heart.
– She really goes her own way and that is something that you can only be impressed by. I don’t think anyone could have influenced her when she decided, and she should be praised for choosing and daring to make a change, Hanna told the TV channel.
