Biathlon: Pressure on Stina Nilsson: “I don’t want to put a hook on myself”

After the withdrawal of Linn Persson, shoulder surgery, and Hanna Öberg, ill, Nilsson, Anna-Karin Heijdenberg and Johanna Skottheim are added from those who drove in the WC.

After the competition in Oslo, where rain and plus temperatures are expected in loose tracks, a trip to North America awaits with competitions in Soldier Hollow and Canmore March 8-17.

“One girl too many”

– I think it’s difficult, there are probably five places, but I try not to think too much about it. I have been selected here and distance can be good or not so good. I still did some good distance at the IBU Cup. There are all possibilities for me, says Nilsson ahead of today’s competition.

Nilsson is well aware that the competition in Oslo also means a selection for the competitions in North America, but she has her strategy ready. In addition, Sara Andersson is highly current after her JVM gold in Otepää.

– We’re one girl too much, but if I started thinking about it, I’d put a hook on myself. I have a chance to make a good distance and can focus on that and see where it leads, says Nilsson.

SVT broadcasts the World Cup from Holmenkollen today starting at 14.05 in SVT1 and Play.
