The World Cup competitions in Östersund have been decided and both deep valleys and high peaks were offered.

Already now on Thursday, new competitions await in Östersund and there is fierce competition for places in the biathlon national team.

It has already been decided that Johanna Skottheim will be allowed to ride the ladies' sprint.

This means that one of those who went during the premiere weekend must be poked.

- If you look at the results, Anna Magnusson is 20 days old and Stina Nilsson is worse.

Then I think that for Stina's it is the competitions she wants.

I would send her to the IBU Cup where she gets more races, says SVT Sports expert Björn Ferry and continues:

- Then we will see what the others can do here and maybe she can be relevant for Hochfiltzen next turn.

I think that is a reasonable selection and I think it is difficult to poke Anna Magnusson now that she was so good today.

Is it not good for Stina to continue driving in the World Cup if she is now to take a place in the Olympics?

- Yes, it can be.

But if she comes to the Olympics, she will go much more in the World Cup.

I would say she needs to compete as much as possible and she will get a lot more competitions in the IBU Cup.

"More experience all the time"

Stina Nilsson is still new to the sport since she ended her long-distance career to continue investing in biathlon.

Björn Ferry points out that she takes new steps all the time.

- She gets more experience all the time.

She learns all the routines and how everything works.

I think you see in the action on the embankment that she is offensive.

Sure, there will be some barriers, but she learns for every race she runs.
