At Ätrans Ski Center, which is one of Sweden's southernmost biathlon facilities, amateurs gathered on Tuesday to take the chance to try out the winter sport. The interest was so great that the club was forced to close the pre-booking after only a few hours. Daniel Lund at Ätrans IF, believes that it is unusually cold weather, the availability of snow and the corona effect that attracts people.
- It's wonderful, think we have a biathlon arena in Halland, it's so damn good, says participant Bosse Persson.
In two groups of eight, the participants took turns, while the organizers Ätrans IF made sure that the amateurs kept their distance and that the rifles were sprayed.
