On Saturday, the biathlon season starts when the sprint is run in Idre.
- Feels good that it starts.
The ladies' rides are the most exciting, it will set the tone for the whole season.
How fast they travel in comparison with, for example, Wierer, says SVT's expert Björn Ferry.
Who do you think has evolved the most?
- On the women's side, Stina Nilsson probably saw because she was a beginner last season.
But then we do not know how far it will go.
But a small step for someone like Elvira Öberg can go much further.
- Among those who are part of the Swedish first team on the men's side, I believe in Martin Ponsiluoma after the World Cup gold, new love, new log (rifle stock) and a good trend in riding every year.
Believe in Italian victory
And among the top skiers on the women's side, he believes especially in little sister Öberg.
- Elvira took a clear step last season, she had the highest riding capacity and she can still develop it.
If she can be a little more stable in the shooter, it can be as good as it gets.
But for this weekend's premiere, he does not have the Swedes as favorites for the victory.
- The Italian shoes are in place, Wierer is a world star and rarely disappears.
They also have better support on the skis this weekend than the Swedes (who are responsible for herding).
So I probably believe in international victory this weekend.
- On the men's side more difficult, I say Sebastian Samuelsson because Ponsiluoma had a bad premiere last season.
So he wins the Olympic sprint instead if we are to follow history.
Who should viewers keep an extra eye on?
- Then I say Erik Larsson, son of Vasloppet's stakes staff (Staffan Larsson).
