Björn Ferry has described Stina Nilsson’s biathlon effort as “a major failure”.
This is what SVT colleague Mona Brorsson thinks is unnecessarily hard.
– She has been on the podium in the national team. How can you say it’s a failure? It is absolutely incredible, she tells the Sports Bible.
After last season, the former length star decided Stina Nilsson31, to also end with biathlon, which she had been doing for four years. The reason was that she wanted to test going long -running instead.
Mona’s words about Stina’s decision
One who was shocked by her choice to stop with biathlon was previously national teammate Mona Brorsson34. The Warmlands, who is now a TV expert in SVT’s winter studio, knew that Stina wanted to test on long races sometime during her career, but she thought that time would come much later.
– Very surprised by the timing, but not surprised by the decision really because she has said that she wanted to make long races sometime in the future, so that step I was not surprised. She has always been cruel about striking when we have also driven. So I’m not surprised that she is as good as she is. But I am surprised that she is so good already now, says Mona in an interview with the Sports Bible.

Because Mona ended after last season, and Linn Gestblom been injured all year, there would have been a clearer role in the national team for Stina if she had stayed. Many Swedes are wondering why she made this decision now.
– It’s not about it. She could stay. You should do what you think is fun and what you believe in. I have so much respect for that, I do not think she has made a mistake, but she has done just right. All the people who follow their dream I have so much respect for. That’s exactly what you want, says Mona Brorsson and continues:
– It’s not about success or not succeeding. I think it’s sad that there are so many who judge her based on it. “Why did she change? It went so well. Why is she doing that way? ”. It is not about it, but it is about her being able to do what she thinks is the most fun and what she thinks develops her most.
Björn Ferry’s criticism of Stina Nilsson
Mona Brorsson sincerely hopes that Stina Nilsson is satisfied and proud of what she accomplished as a biathlete, even though she did not win that much during her four years.
– I hope she doesn’t regret anything. I can’t know of course, but I really hope she is proud that she has tried. That she is proud of everything she achieved, that she went to the Olympics in biathlon, that she was allowed to stand on the podium and that she is still as motivated and forward in her new sport, she says.

Mona’s colleague in SVT studio, Björn Ferrywas much harder in her analysis after Stina announced that she would change sports.
– If you generally see how the investment has gone, it is a big failure. So, Stina Nilsson thinks so. And everyone around who had great expectations that it would go much better. It has not gone well, we can say that. It is much easier for Stina Nilsson to run long races, he said in SVT Sport.
Mona Brorsson, on the other hand, does not want to say that Stina’s investment was a failure. And she tells the Sports Bible that she doesn’t think the common man likes it either.
– No, I don’t think there are many who really do. And as I said, she went to the Olympics. She has been on the podium in the national team. How can you say it’s a failure? It is absolutely incredible, she says.
