After yesterday's third place in the observation competition over sprint 7.5 km in Östersund, Nilsson felt that she wanted to go in the IBU Cup, the step during the World Cup, in German Arber 11-17 January.

- It is a step that I feel for myself that I am ready to take.

Two months ago I had not been ready.

Now I have grown into it and know how to tackle the dike more and more.

I really hope to get one of the seats, Nilsson told SVT Sport yesterday.
