On Wednesday, however, the green light came from the county administrative board on Gotland and now it's time.
- We have worked very hard with the authorities to corona secure every single step from rolling on the ferry to going to the finish line and going home, says Conny Bohlin.
- And since this is not a public place (Tofta shooting range), we can carry out the competition.
Conny Bohlin is not worried that the competition will contribute to increased infection in society.
- I have reconciliations with the infection control doctor every day and Gotland managed the summer gallantly with 60,000 tourists per week and full restaurants.

- It is the participant's responsibility.
When they come here, they must take responsibility, and also that the audience does not flock to the forests, then they destroy for us.
