Stina Nilsson's development curve in the IBU Cup has gone straight up.

The result line now reads 99th, 69th, 48th and 22nd.

The new personal best came in Friday's sprint in German Arber where she showed a much faster skiing than before.

Her ride time was the third best of all.

Until the horizontal shot, she was the fastest, but after a boom, she dropped slightly in the results list.

After two booms in standing shooting, she was finally one and a half minutes behind the winner, Russian Valerja Vasnetcova.

Best Swedish was Ella Halvarsson who finished fifth.
