Ahead of the upcoming winter season, Helena Ekholm announces that she is leaving her role as biathlon expert at SVT. She has received a new civil position and chooses to end the collaboration.
– I have done six seasons in the Winter Studio with fantastic colleagues and where I have been able to follow the sport that is dearest to my heart, says Ekholm.
Among the highlights as an expert, Helena Ekholm highlights the WC at home in Östersund, the WC in Oberhof and prominent Swedish positions.
– I remember all the breakthroughs and unexpected achievements that the Swedish team was responsible for and to name a few, for example Anna Magnusson’s World Cup victory and Viktor Brandt’s starting distance at the WC last winter stand out a little extra.
The winter studio is looking for replacements
Marcus Törngren, events director at SVT Sport, believes that Ekholm was an important part of the biathlon coverage.
– She has contributed to Vinterstudion continuing to have such a strong position with the audience. We wish her the best of luck. Now we are looking at replacements for Helena who can complement Björn Ferry.
