Although the practitioners have rifles on their backs when they compete, biathlon is a pretty nice sport.
There is hardly any bullshit between the riders.
– You must not disturb each other on the embankment. But before you have to do it, says Björn Ferry in the “Winter Studio”.
It is clear that even biathlons can be annoyed at each other if someone happens to drive into another or customer to it so that it consciously, or unconsciously, disturbs a competitor. Then it is usually heard in the tracks or at Skyttevallen. But there is one thing that hardly occurs in the sport.
That’s when SVT’s two biathlon experts Mona Brorsson34, and Björn Ferry46, sits and answers questions in the “Winter Studio” as the program manager André Pops Reads an interesting question from a viewer: “Do you have psychology in biathlon?”.

It is an interesting thing that few people are said to have thought of. If you compare with other sports, where the practitioners come closer together, you do not see as often that the biathliers talk to each other at all during the competitions.
– I would say no. Really not on the women’s side. But we were in a little on it with Britta (Johansson Norgren) Before, that you are not your best self when you are out in the competition tracks. You become the worst version of yourself, you react to things. If anyone tramples on a ski, then the other will hear it quite clearly, says Mona Brorsson.
Björn Ferry’s tricky revealing
Pops then ask her straight out: “You have never whispered to someone standing next to you in a crucial shooting? For something to happen ”.
– No, there goes the limit, she says.

Then Björn Ferry can’t stay anymore. He has been sitting and waiting to get into the discussion.
– You must not disturb each other on the embankment. But before you have to do it. I still don’t know if anyone does. “Now the last thing is, it went bad yesterday”. Yes, you have to say that, when you go to the embankment, he says a little tricky.
– But on the men’s side you have seen sometime that, if it was mass start, that the guys have talked a little neighbor: “But speed up, you need to pull now,” says Mona and looks at Björn.
“It’s not psychnons,” he replies quickly.
