Ella Halvarsson was an unknown name to many until the season’s first World Cup competitions have passed. Now there are even more people who know Östersundsdottern.
Ella Halvarsson’s great success in the 2024 World Cup
Halvarsson turns 26 in the year when most people usually have had their big breakthrough – but for Halvarsson it took a while. Now she has broken through with a bang. The success started with a single mixed relay together with Sebastian Samuelssonthere was victory after Halvarsson gave Samuelsson perfect conditions. Samuelsson then did the job as he slid into the job in first place.
After the spectacularly successful start, Halvarsson would start again. This time it is about her first individual medal at senior level. She finished second in the short distance in the Finnish Kontiolax.
In SVT’s broadcast, she commented on the feat:
— I felt “it could work”, but at the same time it was a bit of a dream. The very best were far behind me in the start list. That it would be a second place, I could never have believed.
Also on the podium in Kontiolax was Elvira Öbergwho finished in third place.

How much money do the biathletes make?
With that success Halvarsson also comes with a large financial contribution. The prize money she receives now is something completely different from what she is used to.
Someone else who started the season well is the biathlete Sarah Anderssonwhose prize pool from Kontiolax lands at SEK 200,000. In an interview with The Express she comments on the addition to the till.
– I have earned more from these competitions than during the whole of last season.
She finds out a little more specifically how much money is involved.
– Oh, I didn’t know it was so much! But it’s really extra fun to get something back for the hard work you put in.
Then she also gets into what she plans to do with the money.
– I haven’t thought about it before the season, but maybe I’ll have to go in and do some shopping on the stock market then. So the money can grow a little more.
