I think Biathlon is going to become a very interesting and attractive sport to Sweden starting from now on. Seeing the amount of junior talent that you're producing, this might surpass the Zidek, Ekholm, Ferry, Bergman era.

I think so too. I thought Sweden was chanceless at biathlon in Winter Olympics 2018. But they did so much better than anyone could dream about. After the old era my interest for biathlon was low. But now I am more interested. It's nice to see there are some junior talents too.

Yeah, some of them have already crossed over to World Cup racing and it seems that it's looking good for those who haven't yet crossed over too. I'd go as far as saying that your talent pool (at least on the women's side) is looking better than that of Germany at the moment

Davidova was the only one with a somewhat similar skiing time.

Elvira Öberg might well be on her way to her third gold medal. It's between her and Finland's Heidi Nikkinen, who she beat for gold in the relay by 0.0 seconds.

Well, both Zuk & Davidova came straight from the Olympics so it's no wonder they were a class above the rest skiing-wise.

 

Zuk will become a regular on the World Cup next season and well, she's viewed as the biggest talent in Polish biathlon EVER   She became the first Polish WJC since 1973.

Gold for Elvira Öberg and bronze for Amanda Lundström. Sweden's young ladies are on fire. Congrats girls.

Yep, it's no surprise

 

But still winning by several minutes is not something that happens every day
