The Swedish Cross-Country Star Stina Nilsson will compete in Biathlon instead for Cross-country

Holy moly, now that's a cross-over that I can get behind :woot:

 

Although the Swedish ladies are improving at a high speed and the team already looks stacked, Nilsson would be a very strong addition when she gets her shooting to at least an 80%

 

Probably no space for Hogberg on the team, she's the Horchler sisters of Sweden (even though Karolin was on the entire season, it's clear to see that Germany got very very desperate this year that they turned to Karolin)

My only reason at being a little sad about this move, although let's be fair: Nilsson will definitely have to learn a lot in terms of shooting first.

They'd even pick an immovable rock to start for Sweden just so that they wouldn't have to use Hogberg :d

She won IBU cup for them missing 8 races, then gets randomly thrown into a world cup sprint, doesn't get a good placement and demoted back to the IBU. Pretty unfair treatment. She definitely deserved as much if not more chances than Skottheim got and Magnusson as well.

 

Last year they were in love with Emma Nilsson and Ingela Andersson.

 

So this time they can go for a different Nilsson and for shits and giggles they can also use the fourth best Swede in the ibu cup, Lindqvist

I have not much problems with Andersson getting chances, although she's not a Högberg :p

Got tired of losing to the norwegian girls would be my guess. :d

In biathlon there are less Norwegian girls to lose against, this definitely increases everyone's odds.

In this case I think Roiseland and Eckhoff Will be more difficult to beat than the norwegian sprinters :p now Johaug will get rid of one of very few who had beaten her in distance since her comeback. I could see Nilsson win the overall world cup with some more stabile distance performances But lets see what she can do in biathlon. Guess she had time to practice shooting under her injury so she can be sure she has potential for it. Appearently her plan was biarhlon after 2022 But changed her mind after injury. Hope for more success than Carolina Klüfts Change from Heptathlon to long Jump and tripple jump ;)
