After the World Cup in biathlon ended in Oslo, a big party was held where basically all skiers and leaders participated.
Since then, a number of Swedish skiers have tested positive for covid-19, including names such as Elvira Öberg, Linn Persson, Jesper Nelin and Martin Ponsiluoma.
Stina Nilsson was also at the party, but has managed to stay healthy and was therefore one of the few heavy names who lined up in today's single mix.
After an impressive riot, she arranged the Swedish Championship gold for her club Lima, together with teammate Tobias Arwidson.
Perhaps the biggest achievement is that you have managed to avoid covid. How did you do?
- Haha, so I'm so happy!
I do not know, I'm been lucky.
I tested myself this morning and am still negative.
It is probably pretty much chance that decides who gets it and who does not get it in such contexts where everyone has been close to each other, but so far I have been lucky and managed to stay away from getting sick, says Nilsson.
Now there are two days left of SM competitors.
First the mass start tomorrow, then the sprint on Monday.
- I hope that the body will feel as good as it did today because it was very fun to go.
I hope for a good job on the dike, good audience and good weather.
It will be fun, says Nilsson.
