Yes. Nelin is one of Sweden’s best biathletes on the men’s side. In an interview with Värnamo Nyheter, he told how the interest came about.
– My mother was a cross-country skier, so that’s when I started it. I have a brother who is two years younger, he started biathlon high school and then I tested his gun and tested a little when I graduated. So it was a bit of a coincidence, thanks to the brother doing it.
He went on to say:
– I have never been very fond of the training itself, so the shooting moment made it much more fun. I also saw an opportunity in that there were many people who quit. Then I chose to make a bet, I joined the national team quite quickly. Then I’ve been climbing since then actually.

Yes. In April 2024, when the season had just ended, Nelin encountered something very unusual as a result of a doping control. At a press conference, he told, according to TV4about the blood poisoning he suffered.
– They came and knocked on the door and you do the usual urine test and blood test with a stick in the arm. It’s the same thing they do in the hospital, thousands of tests a day really. It was just a fluke that some crap got in, it was the start of blood poisoning.
He recounted the consequences:
– The brush took off immediately, but I was a little depressed afterwards.
He filled in:
– I was quite tough and low at the beginning of the pre-season. The body was out of balance. But I’ve been okay for a while.

Nelin’s father’s name is Jan Nelin and his mother’s name Anneli Hedén. When he took part in winning Olympic gold in 2018, he told The Express about his mother’s importance to his successful career.
– During high school and the beginning when I moved to Östersund, she put herself second to us, her sons. It has been worth its weight in gold for us. She has always stood up for everything. Then we have grandma and grandpa nearby as always standing up and driving. It has been great to have them as well who pushed me all the time. It certainly wouldn’t have been possible without them.
Who is Jesper Nelin’s girlfriend Fanny Johansson?
Nelin is with someone who is very famous in winter sports circles. Just like Nelin herself, so is the girlfriend Fanny Johansson biathlon.
Has Jesper Nelin been together with Hanna Öberg?
There have been turbulent times in the Swedish national biathlon team as a result of a love drama, in which Nelin has been very involved. Below is a brief summary of what happened:
Jesper Nelin was with the biathlete Hanna Öberg. Another biathlete mentioned earlier in the article, Martin Ponsiluoma, was with Fanny Johansson. Jesper Nelin broke up with Hanna Öberg and after that there was a change, which means that Jesper Nelin is now with Fanny Johansson and Martin Ponsiluoma is with Hanna Öberg. A somewhat complicated situation.

In an interview with Aftonbladet, Nelin told about the situation.
– Martin and Fanny were together until the WC when Martin won the medal and that seems to have changed things. Then he went home and broke up with Fanny. After the WC there were competitions in the Czech Republic and that’s when it started to emerge that he seemed to be interested in Hanna instead. In the Czech Republic there was chaos. Then I didn’t feel well, said Jesper Nelin and filled in:
– It is rarely a friend who meets your ex-girlfriend. It wasn’t on the world map, but in retrospect I can understand the tendencies.
He also told about how he found Fanny:
– Fanny and I talked to each other and it helped quite a lot. Then it was as if me and Fanny got to know each other and found each other as well. Hanna will probably want to say otherwise, but they were the ones who started it.
