Earlier in the week it was clear that Stina Nilsson was kicked out of the Biathlon World Cup.
Instead, the Swede had to compete in the IBU Cup on Friday, where there was another miscalculation.
The 29-year-old shot six blocks and finished a full four minutes after the lead.
It doesn’t want to at all Stina Nilsson. Since the 29-year-old Swede changed cross-country skiing to biathlon, a lot has gone against her, and unfortunately it seems to continue on the same path.
Stina’s nightmare
Earlier in the week, more specifically on Tuesday, the news came that Stina Nilsson is being pushed from competing in the World Cup. A world cup where Nilsson has so far a 33rd place as his best performance. Instead of the World Cup, she had to settle for competing in the IBU Cup.
– For Stina, it is very important to be able to compete a lot. She showed good riding form in Pokljuka, and we have decided that it is best for her to stay there and run three individual races, said the national team’s head coach John Luke in connection with the poke.

But during Friday, it would appear that the driving form did not last very long. During the 12.5-kilometer distance race in Pokljuka, Slovenia, another tough blow came for Stina Nilsson, who continues to have major problems after entering biathlon.

Finished 35th
The Swede missed a total of six shots on the shooting range, which led to her finishing far behind the lead. More precisely, Nilsson was more than four minutes behind, and finished in 35th place.
The best Swede in the competition was instead Tilda Johansson, who finished fifth, barely 54 seconds from the winner Hannah Auchentaller from Italy.

This weekend the competition continues in the IBU Cup in Pokljuka, and sprints are on the program both Saturday and Sunday.
