Nilsson pays tribute to the audience after the premiere: "Gave energy"

Stina Nilsson made an approved contribution to the World Cup premiere in Östersund.

In total, there were four booms for the Swede after two booms in the first lying and two booms in the last standing shooter.

In the track she was good with and ended up in a 43rd place.

- I got some respect after my first two booms in lying down.

Then I took it a little calmer lap two, you have to learn to master every distance in biathlon.

I'm still happy and for me it means a lot to feel those zeros.

It was really great, says Stina Nilsson to SVT Sport.

"Great fun to experience"

The competition was her first distance race and also her first competition with an audience.

- I was very expectant and excited.

The coaches had prepared me for the fact that there will be reactions as a Swede at this arena.

I thought it just gave energy.

It was great fun to experience.

What do you bring with you from the premiere?

- I take with me the energy you can get from an audience.

And I'll take my zero shooters with me.

The biathlon audience is better than the cross-country audience then?

- Yes, but there are more of them too, Stina concludes with a smile.
