I have the feeling that she's making the same mistake as last year, where she competed in the World Cup the whole time, instead of saying that she's not going to compete in the World Cup this year and would rather take a rest. I wouldn't be surprised if she runs the relay on Sunday...

She was sick and missed the swedish premiere a few weeks ago. I suspect she has not yet recovered from that. At least the swedish commentators said she won an inofficial test race within the swedish team just days before she got sick. But that was some time ago now so maybe it is just bad shape anyway

Five in top seven. Yawn.   Two in top 30 and neither of them shot 10/10. That's a major shock.
