In 2020, Stina Nilsson surprised the cross-country skiing world when she announced that she was switching sports to biathlon. Four seasons later, a new change is at the door – back to cross-country skiing but now in the long-distance cup.
It’s a decision that didn’t surprise teammates.
– It’s exciting. She has always said that this is on g at some point. Well, I wasn’t prepared for it to come now, but it will be fun to watch. If she takes on something, she does it to the fullest so it will be fun to follow, says Elvira Öberg to SVT Sport.
Hanna Öberg is on the same track, and even thinks that it is a bit “typical Stina”.
– 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, she says.
