When Björn recently joined the SVT studio together with the host Yvette HermundstadThe biathlon expert Mona Brorsson And the ski expert Mathias Fredriksson Did he get a somewhat sensitive question addressed from a TV viewer. In the “Ask Winter Studio” segment, was anyone wondering: “Why didn’t you have a better career and took more medals?”.
Therefore Ferry did not succeed better
When he hears the question, he looks both a little road and offered.
– Oh! How would you have done to take more medals, he could formulate it, he says and laughs a little.
– For me, in such cases, the key would have been to start earlier. I started as an adult. I did my first race when I was going 23 that year. I hadn’t shot that much, he replies.

– If you look at the shooting percentage, it took me five years (to get better), then it was at a good level for the last seven years. But the speed of the dike went down all the time. It was like it wasn’t really finished at the end as a 35-year-old. The best capacity could have been moved five years earlier. So I could get five to six years to compete at the highest level. It was like I was a beginner and got well late, he says.
What fun that you dare to share your thoughts on this, Björn. Even when it may be a bit sensitive and hard to talk about. You are superb as an expert and you were a really good biathlon too. Thanks for all the great moments we got with you!
