This is a comment. The opinions are the writer’s own.
The last four years have been pure witch hunts against Stina Nilsson. Few Swedish athletes have had to endure what she was forced to endure in public.
The criticism against Nilsson
Criticism has been great and the tone has unfortunately been unnecessarily harsh since Nilsson left cross-country skiing as one of the world’s best sprinters. She followed her heart for a new challenge but the switch to biathlon was not at all successful.
Stina has had to fight four winters in a row but received an unwelcome storm of criticism straight in the face. Both in Sweden and Norway, experts have aired their harsh words against poor shooting and slow skiing on the ski tracks.

Revenge for Stina
It has now taken her to yet another new skiing sport in the form of cross-country skiing. During the weekend, it was time for her competitive debut in Ski Classics and then she exceeded all expectations with a strong third place in Bad Gastein.
