- It is a very fun race to run, it goes very fast and shooting becomes very crucial. But at the same time, this 1.5-kilometer course is pretty tough so you can do things on the ride as well. I am very tagged, ”says Hanna Öberg at a press conference.
Sebastian Samuelsson:
- There are always such tight duels and that's what is so cool about that discipline.
The World Cup season begins on Saturday with a single mixed mix and a mixed relay. In the mixed relay Linn Persson, Mona Brorsson, Jesper Nelin and Martin Ponsiluoma run for Sweden.
Noteworthy is that Sweden chooses to use its biggest stars in the single mix relay, something they have not done before.
Notable is that Hanna Öberg's little sister Elvira Öberg, 20, is selected for Sunday's sprint. It will be her World Cup debut.
