Ole Morten Iversen was a great success with the Swedish cross-country team.
One of the riders who performed at the top during the Norwegian's time in the Swedish management was Stina Nilsson who won four medals in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Now she is going to another Olympics, but this time she represents the biathlon national team.
Iversen, who left the Swedish national team almost four years ago and is today the Norwegian national team captain, was delighted with Stina Nilsson's Olympic selection.
- I cheer for her.
If she gets to shoot, she can do a good Olympics.
She is a fantastic competition person and has a winning skull that can take her far in the championship.
He develops:
- When she goes into a bubble, she is insanely good at focusing on her task, she does not care a bit about everything around.
That quality is important in an Olympics, and I think she will do it gallantly.
- That in itself is obviously not enough to win the Olympics, she must overperform for it to go the way.
"Wants her best"
Ole Morten Iversen, father of Norwegian star Emil Iversen, has not spoken to Stina Nilsson in just over two years.
- We have not heard since she started biathlon.
But I still want her best.
She is fantastic, both as a person and as an athlete.
When he has to predict how good a position she can reach in the Olympics, he takes his time.
- Now I'm out on thin ice as I have not followed her well enough ... but say top ten, or no, maybe top six if she has a good day.
Then I'm optimistic on her behalf.
- I have to cheer on the Norwegian girls as well, but there is room for a Swede among the top six, says Iversen.
