The Swedish national team is in place in the German biathlon mecca Ruhpolding, ten miles southwest of the city of Munich.
There is also the former national team captain Wolfgang Pichler, who lives in the town.
The 66-year-old will follow the competitions during the week, and will among other things get to see Stina Nilsson.
The German is clear that she should be sent to the Olympics in Beijing.
- Stina is the reigning Olympic champion in skiing.
She has the greatest potential (of those who are not yet ready for the Olympics).
If I were the coach, I'm not, I would have taken Stina to the Olympics.
In addition, he believes in a successful game for the blue and yellow part.
- I think they will take between three to six medals.
They can fight for a medal in eleven competitions.
Of course you need a little luck in biathlon as well.
Hear Wolfgang Pichler tell in the player above.
